A protester was cuffed by heavily-armed police officers and whisked away in an unmarked car in San Diego, California.
The girl who was taken into custody was part of a large Black Lives Matter protest earlier in the day.

According to the police, the girl tried to hit a police officer on a motorcycle with her sign and that was why she was arrested.
Thursday at around 9:30 pm, a young woman is handcuffed on Park Avenue. Moments later, she is snatched off the street and taken away in the unmarked police vehicle.
“She said somebody took Shayla; like somebody came and took her,” the woman’s mother, Breann Piccini, told ABC 10News exclusively.
The woman detained in the video is a 20-year-old biracial San Diego State University student, Shayla Piccini.
Piccini’s mother said Shayla and her cousins spent the day at a massive protest in Downtown San Diego. After several hours, the group was walking back to their car when Shayla saw several police motorcycles driving past them. At that moment, Shayla held up her cardboard sign, according to her mother.

I gotta admit, I loved this video and watched it about 7 times.
These entitled brats are on a power-trip, and while I don’t agree with police acting like Gestapos, these “peaceful protesters” are equally ass “Gestapo-ish” as they people they claim are oppressing them.
