[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turkish student at Tufts University detained, video shows masked people handcuffing her

Thought this story deserved its own thread. Grad student whose only apparent connection to pro-Palestinian speech was co-writing an op ed last year calling on the President to consider student Senate resolutions passed about the Israel-Gaza conflict. She was put into an unmarked car by multiple masked people who show no id.

A neighbor's commentary:

When shown a video of the arrest, Ferraro became visibly emotional.

“It’s too much,” he said. “I don’t need to live in a place where people get plucked off the street like that, just walking around. That’s bananas. That’s just insane.”

“I don’t care what she was doing,” Ferraro continued. “You can’t just nab people off the sidewalk and throw them in a car and take them away, and expect anyone who’s seen it to be alright afterwards.”

Here's a good quality video of the masked LEOs (I assume they were LEOs because they were not in uniform) who accosted her on the street. She was one of four co-authors of the op ed. What makes our country different than her home country Turkey, which is barely democratic and run by an authoritarian?

And here's the op ed--judge it for yourself and tell us what crime she committed.
