Trying to find your way home through a maze of blocked streets? Hands up and asking questions gets you shot point blank with less lethals.
Going to check on that person's wellbeing since that type of shot can be lethal? Also threatened with use of force.

I don't know how anyone in the administration can think this is a god look to the rest of the world, given that Arias' sin was a relatively mild criticism of the president.

Trump just cut off aid to Ukraine. A small, petty man, who has embarrassed our country around the world and made us weaker. If there was any doubt that there is something untoward between Trump and Putin, this cements it. Truly shameful day for the USA.
