re: #198 Belafon

I didn’t quite say it properly. They tried to intimidate the person who they arrested/kidnapped. People know the phrase “Miranda Rights” from TV, and know you have to have them read to you, but not nearly as many people know what to do in the situation this guy was in. A whole lot of people would have attempted to talk their way out of it, which would have gotten them in trouble, because it’s not that hard to confess to a crime.

Maybe… as I said, when I was going to demonstrations, they had instruction on all that. I don’t know whether BLM and other groups are doing the same thing, but I would hope (and suspect) so.
