2. Effing liars

"They were screaming at me. I felt at least two knees on my back and they’re like, ‘We got you because we saw you bear spraying people. And I’m like, ‘No, you didn’t.’ And they said, ‘Yes, we did.’ And they’re screaming at me to put my hands behind my back but my arms are underneath me and I think my elbows are underneath me at one point and their knees are on top of me, holding me down.
...
There was even a third perspective of this, as sketch artist Isabelle Brourman was on the scene drawing the events as they happened, including Abernathy being pepper-sprayed in the face. Brourman even captured the details of Abernathy throwing his camera and an agent stepping on his phone. It is a remarkable scene, and Brourman can be seen in the background of one of Lavie’s photos, wearing a hood and a gas mask, drawing.

There is a picture of her in the background drawing, also her drawing of the incident.

ICE TOOK PRETTI'S CAMERA AND HIS GUN!
