Like you can have all kinds of criticism of police that is deserved.
These people are not acting like police.
They're not de-escalating.
You see a lot of criticism from cops, by the way, law enforcement officials, both locally and nationally saying this is not how a professional police force acts because you're supposed to de-escalate.
You're supposed to step back.
You're not supposed to make things worse.
And you see like the number of videos you see of somebody from ICE or BPB, we put them together, but they are different.
Kind of running up and just shoving somebody, grabbing somebody.
And then because now somebody maybe grabs back or falls, whatever, an agent falls.
Now there's two people on top of each other.
So six more agents come in and now they're part of this scrum.
A little bit of like what happened with Preddy.
And it just doesn't look like police.
It looks like gangs.
They're acting like gangs.
And so I think that is visceral for everybody, including people that are less political, less anti-comp, more pro-law enforcement.
I think that is part of what makes these images so powerful.
The real victims are the billionaires.
Do we think Tim Cook was on Do Not Disturb during the screening and so he only saw it after?
