Look at all the cops it took to take down that peaceful protestor. It's like they all had doughnuts in their hands they had to clean up before they could take action. Disgraceful

That many??? All for a guy not even resisting arrest? Trump might have a point about firing some civil servants to cut back on waste. If we have 6 cops to 1 non resisting man, then we have too many cops.
It looks like he knew he'd be arrested. Although after watching this video several times, I don't know why. I guess the First Amendment doesn't exist anymore.
He was amazing! Do you find it wild how he announces his intention, stands peacefully with his hands behind his back & 3 police officers rush him like he’s a crazed criminal? Think it would have unfolded that way if he was a white man in his mid fifties?
That's a virtue signaling. Don't wanna be caught on camera sitting on the sidelines when this goes viral--even though anyone with half a brain would have kept their feet planted. Aye, there's the rub.
1) The first cop's first instinct was to rough him up. Guy is standing there with his hands behind his back, and the cop unnecessarily drags him to the ground and almost puts him in a choke hold.
2) It took THREE cops to cuff a man who wasn't resisting in any way whatsoever. And even after they had him on the ground, TWO MORE cops came over to get in on the action.
1 and 2 cops were ridiculously hyperbolic in their rush towards him since the man clearly announced what he was about to do.
But, 3, 4, 5 cops then jumped into action when the man was on the floor. Wonder what kind of violent action impulsively rushed through their heads and veins?
I can't figure out why that wasn't the FIRST PLACE TO PROTEST MARCH! They should march from The Capitol to the White House and being Lead by DEMOCRATS IN BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS!🤨
Hell if all the government workers in WDC that have been recently fired were to march, that's enough to get Trump's attention. I do NOT recall there ever being a protest march DIRECTLY AGAINST TRUMP AT THE WHITE HOUSE! IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT HAPPENED! AND HAPPEN SOON!🫤
This is awesome! Shows that there aren't many in today's GOP that aren't yellow bellied cowards. Good on Chris for calling them out!! @chriswarcraft.bsky.social
Oh yeah if you descent you can't have your free speech anymore or you're right to protest but if you flood the internet with lies that's the Free speech they want
Conservatives are such goofy cunts. All the problems in the world and they’re spending their time, energy and money on a fucking plaque to their golden toilet God. I wouldn’t hire a conservative to pick up my dog’s shit.
Most of us would never have witnessed this except that he was handcuffed for peaceful civil disobedience. It's what democracy and freedom of speech look like.
So I’m a wrestling fan and one thing they like to do when showing backstage brawls is shake the cameras a bunch to give the illusion of the scene being more chaotic and dramatic than it really is
I bring that up because I get the same vibes from these cops subduing a man who wasn’t even resisting.
Hey, folx! What are thoughts about doing this financial boycott for at least a week? If we don’t do something biggER, we will go into a financial death spiral individually, and be doing this anyways. It’s literally the minimum we could do. Isn’t it? Whose willing to spread this with me?
Took 6 pigs to hold w what 115 # boy down, Oh the drama! See how easy that knee of the rear pic came up on the kids backside. Cop knees should be considered a lethal weapon!
5 cop to arrest this guy? The guy with his hands behind his ready to go peacefully? I especially like the third guy--even though the first two cops have the situation well in hand, the their guy comes running in like Dudley Do Right come to save the day. But this is what it's come to.
These guys are too scared to do their job fairly. They've been chanting the "thin blue line" mantra way too long. They've been trained to believe that every other human is a threat.
The Oligarchy has no awareness of just how prone their castles of sand are. Everything is on-line. Lie to the system and just shut it down with fake orders and chaos.
I want to know who the council member is with the smile as he is being handcuffed. I want to believe he is smiling because someone else has finally stepped up to push back, but I am not sure.
What a shame police didn't move like this when those children were trapped in that school in Texas being murdered methodically while cops sworn to protect them stood outside like the cowards they are.
I am finding that chatGPT is starting to repeat the claims by DOGE/MAGA. I am having to prove that the claims by DOGE/MAGA are false. I had to go step by step to show cashing checks provides a receipt to prove the DOGE/MAGA claims the Treasury can't track $4.7 trillion is a false claim.
It was an Ass Kissers Convention. How many taxpayers funded cops to arrest a taxpayer speaking against tax waste?? Shameful. Boycott Huntington Beach businesses. FAFO time
It took 5 to fiercely (not) arrest an unarmed protestor, 3 to "tackle" him after he had already laid down with arms behind him back, and 2 more to stand there and look tough. Kudos @chriswarcraft.bsky.social! A true fearless hero, lover of bibliophiles! Bravo!
Those brave cops wrestling an unarmed man with his hands behind his back to the ground AFTER he literally said he was protesting peacefully.
This. This is why so many think the police are trash goons.
Huntington Beach is re-raising the Orange Curtain. On the bike path, I ride through without stopping at any of the businesses there. It’s ugly, anyway. Main Street by the pier has zero character, cookie cutter renovation.
Thanks for post that. I support this guy all the way. He said he would protest peacefully and god knows how many police were on him as if he were waving a machine gun. Has Putin taken over completely?
We need thousands of people to continuously disrupt such meetings peacefully--the more people at a meeting the longer the disruptions. Plus, Americans are not getting the info on what trump & musk are doing to our country! They need to be informed every day!
We *know* the police did their jobs. That's why they gotta be defunded. Their job sucks.
We'd be in a much safer spot now if we didn't spend the past 4 years in blue cities blindly giving money to fascist trump voting thugs so they can buy more guns to enact the will of the fascists with.
So you want no police or modified police forces? No police doesn’t work crime skyrockets as it did here when out police force was drastically reduced due to budget crisis.
Police not only act as willing enforcers and enthusiastic supporters of the fascists, they're also notoriously bad at actually preventing or reducing crime. your claim about reduced police budgets correlating with high crime is also fake
They are afraid. They know we are pissed and coming for them, and they think we’ll all go Luigi on their oligarch asses. They might not be wrong in some cases.

We ALL need to be this courageous! Speak out, write letters informing the public of what maga is doing, send them to everyplace that will publish them! U.S. citizens who are't getting the real info of what trump & musk are doing must hear the TRUTH! The U.S. people need to know it's a Nazi Movement!
Hate to break the 666 of likes on this, but this deserves to be algorithm boosted more. He is spitting facts, and more people need to be loud about these absolute truths.
Chris Kluwe has always stood for social justice and has taken the hits for doing so. He's an amazing example of the good that still lies in American society.
That's called using your platform, harnessing your privilege.
Christ Kluwe, I'm with you. From another country but I mean to do
The things that you're walking for all of us to see, next time perhaps there'll be a clue there or three...
5 Jeff Bezos-looking losers in size-too-small uniforms to take down one guy who is not resisting in any way. How are they not embarrassed of themselves every damn day.
My sister was the head chair member of her SC during covid. The nonsense they hurled at them throughout the entire thing was vile and hateful. One meeting they used hate speech when speaking to a student. No arrests.
Yes, I was shocked, too. It definitely, is not a good look for Huntington Beach. I’m beginning to believe our first amendment rights are only going to be used to protect the liars in this nation.
How about getting into some "Good Trouble" Hakeem? Like a sit in at the IRS to prevent Musk from entering the building? Or DailyPress briefings in front of different agencies informing people about how these cuts will affect them? Or holding Town Halls in the Districts of vulnerable Republicans?
I remember seeing the cops in Montreal at the Canadian GP and they did look to be in extremely good shape, and tall, and I didn't notice them mistreating anyone just making sure people were getting on/off the metro in an organized fashion
Our police are actually corrupt af here. 40% are wife beaters, and another 20% are on the take. 60% use anabolic steroids, and 70% are nazis. We can't trust local law enforcement at all. Their only purpose is to protect the rich.
I went with my dad, uncle and cousins on weekends in the early 90s to Huntington since they were in nearby OC cites. So sad that it's become toxic beyond belief. One of those cousins moved there a few years ago so I'm concerned about her safety there.
I knew he was bad, but didn't know kirk had been going around spreading such ridiculous hate-filled lies. What does he base his Dems are facists just looking for a chance to militarise from??
I give you 01/06/2021 vs 01/06/2025 and everything that has followed.
3 brown shirts to take down a NON-RESISTER🤡💩🎪-EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL THINKS THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW BECAUSE THOSE WHO ENFORCE LAWS DO NOT REALLY KNOW THEM- Barney Fifes, right Andy??
Those first bitches couldn’t wait for the takedown. I know a few like that, and I know a few on the other end of that spectrum.
We need more who aren’t so afraid of their own shadows that they overreact every chance they get.
These cops. What an embarrassment. He had his arms behind his back. All you had to do was calmly lead him out. It would take one cop to do that not three to gang tackle him. F these cops and this council. Pathetic.
Your answer confirms my suspicions that most US cops are at best undertrained and at worst unsuitable to be in a role of protecting of life and liberty.
Agree! Most cops, in my experience, were little bullies as kids and thought that they can hide behind a badge,when grown , to continue their hate filled bullying ! IMHO
I mean, those guys in blue sure were ready for the take down! No weapon, no threat to life and safety, nor property and no resistance. Just exercising his First Amendment right, an AMENDMENT of the Constitution. Or is that not included in the Police Officer's handbook? smh
I’ve seen this video multiple times and I’m having trouble understanding what would provoke that response from police. The council members didn’t seem to look threatened or alarmed. By the end, it appears that it took five cops to subdue a guy who was already compliant. I don’t get it.
It's about showing power and frightening the avg citizen. Also, I suspect if this person had not been white you would have seen a more violent response from the police.
Kluwe set a fine example of how to resist peacefully.
“City Council member Gracey Van Der Mark said it was pretty scary for a few seconds as Kluwe walked onto the platform in front of the dais, before she saw him turn around and put his hands behind his back.”

This was at a Huntington Beach, CA city council meeting - the same council that approved a $7K MAGA plaque for the local library which the MAGA council put up despite citizens saying "NO! Don't do that!"
His speech was a no BS indictment of Trump and Musk.
👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you Chris!
Every time they have to violate our rights to maintain their grip of power, it weakens their narrative that MAGA are the superheroes of democracy.

That would be like putting up a plaque celebrating leeches and blood-letting at a medical school.
I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a MAGA mob with you.
💙🇺🇸
Unless the guy actually does that thing in a school classroom. Then they’re all standing by asking each other what to do.
Nazi show of force is most important part of the arrest.

One cop alone can't throw him around to make it appear as if the guy was resisting.
1) The first cop's first instinct was to rough him up. Guy is standing there with his hands behind his back, and the cop unnecessarily drags him to the ground and almost puts him in a choke hold.
Sad thing if he was black he'd have been tackled and jailed without bail.
But, 3, 4, 5 cops then jumped into action when the man was on the floor. Wonder what kind of violent action impulsively rushed through their heads and veins?
How about a daily protest march at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? 🤔

This is the way to resist shown by MLK, Lewis, Gandhi…
That’s “good trouble”.
Non-violent civil disobedience.
THAT is how America will beat Trump without violence.
Ridiculous.

Hey, its not MY words...its the words from the leader of the party formerly known as the GOP.
We'd be in a much safer spot now if we didn't spend the past 4 years in blue cities blindly giving money to fascist trump voting thugs so they can buy more guns to enact the will of the fascists with.
