That you consider restraining someone as part of a standard arrest process as brutal, it highly comical. Also, there's a large medical difference between an epileptic seizure and a hissy fit. Which do you think applies here?

The 'class' distinction on short haul domestic US flights is utterly laughable.

I believe you're conflating arrested and restrained. The photo would suggest everyone else arrested (on the right) was being compliant, post-arrest. The photo also suggests, heavily, that arrests had been going on for some time right in front Cecily amid a large, visible number of officers - yet she was apparently…

Exactly, it would appear that everyone who had been arrested was being at least mostly compliant, except for one.

No, I'm saying that if you're in the process of being arrested and restrained (as she would have had to expect, given the wall of police officers - on the left - and the group of already handcuffed protesters - on the right) it's probably not the best idea to start throwing elbows wildly at police officers.

Not when you're already in the process of being arrested. That's kind of a crucial difference.

I'm relatively certain she hasn't been in a position to do that since the early 1990s.

The Libyan government asked for the US to assist in a task they couldn't hope to achieve on their own. Is there really anything wrong with that?
