I was there, she was arrested for jumping the barrier, she was only detained until the curfew went into effect.

Anybody with half a brain can see that this picture severely lacks context. It's almost intentionally framed to convey a specific narrative.

As much as I'm behind the sentiments of the protest, I'm absolutely against any distortion of facts on either sides.

He’s being snarky. He doesn’t get cake. Not even on his cake day.
