Police arrested Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin for protesting against Israel's war on Gaza at the US Congress on Wednesday. The co-founder of the anti-war group said they were treated "like criminals," and footage shows her being thoroughly searched multiple times and placed in handcuffs. Benjamin called on US... Congressmen Jerry Nadler to respond to a coalition of lawyers, including at least 20 within the Biden administration, who are calling on the US president to halt military aid to Israel, because its actions in Gaza do not comply with US and international humanitarian law.show more

There is something really disturbing in the way this policewoman is 'searching' her. I am assuming the Congress has a body scanner or metal detectors people have to go through before being allowed in the building. This is not a search or arrest, it is meant to be an invasion of her body. Shameful.

Jeez, that’s straight up rape at that point. You shouldn’t be allowed to be searched like that at all unless there is probable evidence or cause. Not surprised since these officers are trained by the same Israel Genociders she is protesting against.

That’s literally sexual harassment

Our government and country is a joke at this point. Code Pink are heroes.

This ain’t no frisking, that’s a goddamn sexual harassment!!!

Omg look at the cop touching her in public .. ghis is absolutely a violation of her rights!

Omg…what is going on here. Speechless this is no longer a democracy.

So we're arresting political prisoners are we? Crazy how 9/11 turned the authoritarians loose - "Fuck your Constitution" they told us - & we let them get this far. They've got dark plans for us, the masses, you can be sure. They don't like us. Somehow we have to get it back.

They got the wrong one lol. Madea will let them search her every day 24/7 if she has to! She wants Israel’s mass killing of the people in Gaza to end and she doesn’t give a single fuck.

They are trying to humiliate her in the people’s house. This is disgusting and shows exactly who owns our government. I’m sorry Medea and thank you for not staying silent.
