80, and still fighting Fascism

those 'cops' should be humiliated...I hope they are embarrassed by this.

Those police officers must be so proud of themselves!!

I don’t know for you all, but this morning ,with the killing of the two democrats lawmakers in a targeted politically motivated assassination : I am convinced that the USA we knows until now is dead 😞 Already too late Dictators are born from the chaos they themselves created This is the new USA

All those failed highschool athletes that were on the receiving end of inspirational speeches. Should have quit the team and gone to the study hall. Education lasts forever, failures go to ICE.

This is pathetic on the part of these officers. This is a bullshit arrest. I hope this haunts them forever. An 80 yr old veteran of our country…

he's actually 87 years old from Gainesville, FL www.wcjb.com/2025/06/14/8...

Aren't those Capital police? Did they forget January 6th?

Was the cop going to hold the man up by the zip cuffs if he stumbled? Terrible, the man was obviously not able to flee, should have allowed him to use his roller walker. Embarrassing!

We now live in a police state. youtu.be/MjZ4XWX0r7g

Anyone check on him- does he have any legal representation?

Deplorable. FDT

He surely knows our weakness and knows this time he knows exactly what we're going through and that we were going to go through it

Those assholes took the Hero’s walker away and handcuffed him and they should be fucking fired.

The particular officer who made the decision to treat the 80-year-old man this way (no walker; hands cuffed behind his back) should---at a minimum---face disciplinary charges.

youtu.be/0lbU2skowNM?... this is Trump's America

Scumbags! He’s a veteran!

It’s not Netanyahu or Israel!! It has nothing to do with them. Absolutely NO EVIL KING or EVIL Christians and THEIR patriarchy, capitalism and class BS s'il te plaît #NoKingsDay #nokings #billc5 #cdnpoli #onpoli

I’d like to know that myself. This report says he’s actually 87 and crossed a police line. At that age, I’d worry he could’ve been hurt if he fell even if he didn’t hit the ground! They would’ve saved themselves a lot of time and bad press if they’d just kindly redirected him instead.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Despicable behavior! So sick of this shit!

87 www.wcjb.com/2025/06/14/8...

That gentleman has more courage and honor than a 2x impeached criminal traitor could ever dream of... That's what the criminal regime fears... The symbolism and action of that 80 year old hero.

And they took away his wheelchair?! Omfg… brutes.

Fuck Donald trump!!! Hate him

"We're just following orders" won't cut it when we come out the other side of this.

FFS this is ludicrous... a Viet Nam vet, in restraints for exercising his 1st Amendment right calling out a 79 year old senile, racist, rapist, felon. Something terribly wrong with this image. 😪

and Clarence Thomas and Alito

We are a fallen nation

But KKK what-a-stupid-question Leavitt swore Trump was all for peaceful protests.

The coward in our Oval Office used bones spurs 5 times to avoid doing military service, but he was physically “well enough” to play sports in high school!

WE haven't lost our way, TRUMP and his MAGA cult have lost their way. They need to be stopped, they need to be contained, and they need to be DESTROYED!

And took his walker for fucks sake

Okay, but justice operates on the premise of essential equality.

Deplorable!

Shameful!!!

Shocking! That word is getting old, but really. How dare they arrest him!

Draft dodger king, disgraceful Let the Veteran use his walker!!

OMG 😱 how awful to disrespect this elder!

My God, what is wrong with these people. Having his hands behind his back like that, probably hurts too.

That 87 year old is 4 X these fascist police officer’s age. This is utterly disgraceful. A country that would treat their military veterans like this, whom fought fascists to give the American people their very right to protest, is a country I’d never step foot in again & I never will. 🇨🇦#BoycottUSA

Just like they don't think 2020 was legit. They got legal votes thrown out because they were clever enough to be filling the positions that mattered. Dems always bring a spoon to a gunfight. Until you start playing the game the way they do, you will always lose!

These people have no respect. They will probably kill him.

Those “just doing my job” are complicit. They’ve chosen their side in the battle for democracy, human rights and justice 😐

yeah, big men

Fat, Ugly, Fermented, Demented FAILURE

Really? They had to take his walker from him? Sometimes generalizations are mostly true: ACAB.

I bet that cop feels like a real man!

If I were those police, I'd be so damn embarrassed. My God, handcuffs... REALLY?

Those Veterans exercising their right to assemble and protest are no threat to anyone or anything except Facism.

Lower than whale shit!

Disgusting.

While the rest of the world watches on wondering WTAF is wrong with those people. Leaders of the free world my ancient wrinkly arse. Come on America do better.

Shame Shame Shame!

This is despicable.

I “divorced” the stepfamily. Not all of them were MAGA, but they did nothing to back me up when I presented facts. They said family before politics, well my father, who supported them for decades, was a veteran, and he comes first for me. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

What a bunch of FUCKING GOONS! Zip tying & arresting an 80 year old man, WITH A WALKER, for protesting. They're a fucking disgrace to ANY uniform. I hope this man's family sues the shit out of them.

@maddow.msnbc.com @stephruhle.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social

Sad that we will not know his name, people like Hawk tuah girl get attention, people like him go unnoticed

Reposting...it's no way to treat veterans. I'm sorry this Wanna b Dicktator only uses veterans when it suits him. Veterans have heart..something DJT doesn't possess.🫡🤨😏

And the handcuffs, REALLY!!! I’ll bet this police officer can’t wait to tell his Mom who he arrested today. Shame!!!

He should have been celebrated in the parade. 🇺🇲🌎🕊️💙

Those Officers have to go home..... and face their Mothers and Fathers ....and Grandparents..... I hope they are sick to their stomachs with shame...

The Orange Crush himself Donald Trump already called the military 'Suckers And Losers'. What more do we need to know?

Unbelievable!

Every single time a republican says something about supporting the troops and loving our veterans, remember they voted for a draft dodger who is using LE and military against citizens peacefully protesting inhumane detention of brown and black people, including US citizens!

When you escort someone in cuffs -you never grasp & hold the cuffs. It is too easy for the detained person (not this man) to twist, jerk & pinch your hand and slip out of your grasp. You also don't escort with your gun nearest the person RE: Duh! New hire, untrained - or proud boy

Not all of us.

No one ever treated the racist tea baggers this way.

SCUM 👹😈🤮😱💩

Disgusting 😐

Thank you for your service sir💙

This is beyond despicable. To the veteran arrested - Sir, we are indebted to you for your military service, but even more so for your bravery in standing up to this criminal regime! 🫡🇺🇸💙

Those guys should TRULY BE ASHAMED of themselves.

Jesus Mother Fucking Christ. The worst part is seeing the second cop-hole with the veterans walker.

“Thank you for your service” rings hollow when you see this kind of shit.

WTH

How can these cops be so out of touch. 80 years old? Do they actually feel threatened?

This is appalling, completely unnecessary & totally unacceptable! His hands are zip tied behind his back! His walker has been taken away & he’s being held onto by a cop! How was this man going to be able to run away from or hurt anyone! Are we living in Russia now? @realdonaldtrump, you are a pig.

F - These A-holes.

OMG

This is MAGA’S America

"U.S. Capitol Police confirm John Spitzberg, 87, of Gainesville, was arrested for crossing a police line during a demonstration on Friday." John Lewis called this "Good trouble". www.wcjb.com/2025/06/14/8...

They took away his walker?!??

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I agree, but we don’t see if anyone stood up for him before they got 20 feet away, when the filming began.

Shameful. I hope those cops are proud of themselves. Jeez.

They lookembarrassed . Pathetic people these goons are not sure what to do .. the world has been topsy turvey since the orange man came down the. Escalator.🥴

Vet who fought for this country while a spoiled little shitbag named Donald Trump who dodged the draft with the help of his rich daddy's doctor.

Was it necessary to handcuff him? He needs his hands to use a walker. Plus, the guy could have dementia. Geez.

You hand cuff him and then take away his rollator? WTF

They took his fucking walker from him. We are lost.

What an absolute disgrace

I support our troops AND Fox News should be banned at military bases

This is the same gentleman? 87 years old? Unbelievable. For shame. 🤬

Is this the same veteran who sat, zip-tied, and without water, for 10 hours before he was released?!😡 What the hell is wrong with these cops?!

FDT

At the very least put his hands in front of him. Some basic show of respect!

I thought they might handcuffed him to his walker

Completely unacceptable

Sorry...I've never cared for the "We've" stance. Roughly 30% of the voting public has done that.

The police are making matters worse

What did he do, J -Walk?

I guess they had nothing better to do so had to pick on him.

Absolutely disgusting. I hope these officers are recognized by their friends, neighbors, and family. I'm sure they will be so proud.
