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.

    “Get in the van, there’s candy” is also an explanation. But you probably shouldn’t believe it when a masked individual is saying it and the van is unmarked.

      Well, it does look like he shows her his badge as he’s walking up to her. The mask thing is weird though.

        Well, it does look like he shows her his badge as he’s walking up to her.

        …not at all…? He has his hands in his pockets until he stops walking in front of her, then he takes out his open hand to tell her to stop, then he takes out the other to stop her from walking away. When do you think he showed her a badge?

          OK, I guess when I watched the video earlier today it was brighter and I couldn’t see it as well. It looked like a badge was maybe in his hand as he walked towards her, but I can see now that it wasn’t. It does look like the others pull there badges out though, and have them hanging from their necks as they approach.
