4 members of @pslweb were arrested in Denver after leading peaceful protests demanding justice for #ElijahMcClain PSL founder @BrianBeckerDC says one organizer was arrested in a SWAT raid which included a tank. Cops refused to present an arrest warrant. This is retribution https://t.co/YcPSallX4p— Anya Parampil (@anyaparampil) September 18, 2020

They showed up with a tank, for one (1) person. Remember when that article revealed the WH was trying to found out how to charge organizers with sedition?
