Depends on the reason for the arrest. If I get zip-tied and dragged off the streets for saying mean things about orange man, I won’t be the embarrassed one.
No I certainly would agree with that. But being restrained against your will and having your records publicized about being an offender of the law certainly doesn’t bode well for your own public image or on employment applications.
It’s not embarrassing for her, it’s embarrassing for the police that they arrested her.
She is a lawyer and a civil rights activist, my guess is that being a civil rights activist is in line with her activity as a lawyer.
And I doubt very much she did anything illegal.
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.
Enforcing the law is embarrassing? Breaking the law is embarrassing.
And my point isn’t that she was necessarily breaking the law. I’m simply stating that it’s already an embarrassing enough act to be restrained and then on top of that have images of you in a vulnerable state circulate around the internet.
I’m not saying it’s perfect. It has its share of flaws, but rules and law create order. I’m not a simp for US law, but without it, injustice would run even more rampant. If you claim to love justice then you must also, by principle, be in favor of some sort of law system that enforces it.
Why? It’s already embarrassing enough to be arrested

Didn’t you know? Free speech is dead, and now saying mean things against this regeme is illegal now.

Just so you know who is in this picture. No, this does not have the negative impact for her that you are suggesting.
Tell that to John Lewis or MLK.
How is it embarrassing to be arrested for protesting?

Being an inconvenience is not the same as embarrassing.
Which is probably near zero has her case will likely be dismissed, but again she is a lawyer.
They probably think the sobbing makes people scared. It makes the arrested look weaker, regretful and vulnerable.
Chin up, shoulders back, still tough, cuz Black don’t crack!
How? Cops are pieces of shit and arrest innocent people all the time.
It’s embarrassing to be arresting someone.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
“The law” and the entire legal system of injustices behind it is embarrassing as fuck too. Same goes for those who simp for it.
I’m not saying it’s perfect. It has its share of flaws, but rules and law create order. I’m not a simp for US law, but without it, injustice would run even more rampant. If you claim to love justice then you must also, by principle, be in favor of some sort of law system that enforces it.
Rules != the law. The legal frameworks are inherently flawed and globally protect the rich and powerful, while harming minorities.
Yes societies need rules, those can be agreed upon by people living in the societies.
What would you argue are the differences between rules and laws in society? I use the two interchangeably as I believe them to mean the same thing.
I would say
Laws are backed by states and their sole authority to use violence to enforce them.
Rules can be made by any group of peoples.
That is a fair definition.
Not trying to argue about anything. So I appreciate the civility.
