One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
These definitely aren’t cops or even anyone with any formal training.
USAmerica cops have formal training?
I didn’t say it was ethical, but yes, they do. The people in this video have clearly not arrested anyone before.
I was taking the piss. It’s nowhere near enough depth or long enough. For example the chapter on de-escalation might not even exist.
Are you serious?
They might not be cops, but that was quick and efficient with almost no interference. Actual cops would have just laid her out and detained her with excessive force. What you saw was trained professionals. They surrounded her, overwhelmed her, arrested her, and quietly walked off with her.
I’m not defending it, but they knew exactly what they were doing and it went exactly as they planned it to go. Quietly.
Did you expect some kind of movie style abduction, roll up screeching tires in a panel van and 10 guys jump out and toss a bag over her head then toss her in the van and peel out?
I don’t know what they were, but they’re not cops like they clearly said they were.
