One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
They didn’t have badges out at first and they didn’t show any ID. This is absolutely a situation you could legally draw a gun and start shooting at people. Police should be in uniform and showing ID. This is how militias in “bad” countries abduct and kill people. There’s no way to tell them from the police. This is not normal in a western democracy.
I agree, it doesn’t seem to have been done the way it should have been.
Its just that based on the title I was expecting a van to drive up, open the door, shove her in, and drive off.
It shouldn’t have been done, period
I wasn’t commenting on whether it should have or not, just on the way it was executed.
I get that, but it’s like you are commenting on how a rapist was not efficient in his raping… not sure there is any value in “how” something that should not have taken place, actually took place
As i said before, I don’t know if it should have taken place or not, I don’t know enough of the background story.
That’s kind of a hollywood thing. It can certainly happen but an unsecured person in a van is a nightmare to deal with.
