Rep. Hank Johnson arrested at voting rights protest

Washington Rep. Hank Johnson was arrested by Capitol Police on Thursday during a protest on"Senate inaction on voting rights legislation," according to a video posted on Twitter.

Johnson can be seen in the video with his hands restrained behind his back while still participating in a chant with other protesters yelling,"Whose streets? Our streets. Whose House? Our House." He is one of 10 people whom the Capitol Police arrested for"unlawfully demonstrating" outside the Hart Senate Office Building and charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding.

He is one of 10 people whom the Capitol Police arrested for 'unlawfully demonstrating' outside the Hart Senate Office Building and charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding. Sounds like Capital police did their job. Great work Capital Police. What is the problem?

Think about the countless times the US has protested against other nations for arresting politicians fighting for democracy.

I am waiting for the those who helped the insurrectionists to get arrested!

Very concerning....

Where were the Capitol police on January 6th, just saying!

Democracy silenced by 'democracy' 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

They should have arrested him for that jacket.
