[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 child) How is it embarrassing to be arrested for protesting? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekima_Levy_Armstrong permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] jof@lemmy.world -6 points 6 months ago (1 child) The act of being arrested is not particularly fun. You know, being restrained and walked off like an animal in some sense. Depends what it’s for in general. But it’s the public image of it. And then the repercussions of having to deal with follow up court work, possible jail time and it being a future talking point of a potential employer. It’s just not really something to be proud of. That is a rule in general, with exceptions of course. But my point stands, that the act is embarrassing enough already, especially if it’s publicized. So having your face edited to make it look even more humiliating is worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago being arrested is not particularly fun.
