I'm wondering what people think this "de-arresting strategy" is supposed to look like, exactly.
If you think you're going to get anyone who's just been kidnapped out of the back of the black SUV, you're going to need to turn up with more guys than they've got at minimum, and very quickly.
That's exactly how it works. You don't let them get to the back of the SUV in the first place, but there are more of us than there are of them.
Not that I don't support the spirit of it or anything, but we literally estapo' hold down, disarm, and then summarily execute one of our brothers for having the audacity to try to help a woman they had thrown to the ground for no reason... If you think your attempts at 'un-arresting' anyone would be met with anything other than a hail of bullets courtesy of a group of Call of Duty cosplaying, white supremacist pussies who are simultaneously frothing at the mouth and jizzing their fucking pants at the thought of having an excuse to kill someone, then I've got some gorgeous coastal property in Montana I'd love to sell ya for super cheap
There may be more of us than there are of them, sure, but bullets are cheap
