Rep. Adelita Grijalva says she was ‘sprayed in the face’ and ‘pushed around’ as agents descended on restaurant
Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva says federal agents fired pepper spray at her and others protesting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Arizona.
In a video posted on social media Friday, Grijalva said roughly 40 federal officers, most of them masked, pulled up in several vehicles for a raid at Taco Giro in Tucson, where a large group of demonstrators had gathered in the street.
There, she was “sprayed in the face by a very aggressive agent” and “pushed around by others,” she said.
She also posted footage of a heavily armored officer firing pepper spray towards her and others in the crowd as she approaches agents and repeatedly tells them “you need to get out.” The footage also appears to show a pepper bullet hitting her feet.
Most of the guns are owned by people who support this stuff
Not sure that’s actually the case. Most of the people that I know with firearms are either Democrats or former Republicans that have left because of the current Republican party shit.
But I’m also in southern AZ, relatively near Adelita’s district. AZ has been a weird purple-ish amalgamation shifting back and forth for decades now.
Yeah it’ll probably depend on the state but here’s the stat from pew research
“45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say they personally own a gun, compared with 20% of Democrats and Democratic leaners.”
I live in one of the lowest gun ownership states and coincidentally, beyond the explanation of our most powerful scientists, there are very few firearm deaths here, even by cops 😌
