Related: About this forumRep. Joyce Beatty Responds To Being Arrested In Senate Office Building - The Last Word - MSNBC
Seven minutes after walking into a Senate office building, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty and 8 others were arrested while peacefully demonstrating in support of voting rights a stark contrast to the arrests that DIDNT happen on January 6. What we see is the disparity of treatment, we see the disparities when it comes to Black Americans and majority Americans, Beatty said. The responses to the rules of engagement are different.
