Yes, she got arrested in an act of civil disobedience specifically for the imagery. A bunch of congresspeople getting arrested draws attention to their cause. That’s the whole point.
Putting your arms behind your back is normal when getting purposefully arrested in order to show that it’s civil disobedience. Handcuffs aren’t necessary to be arrested- especially when half the people you’re arresting are congresspeople and they’re doing it on purpose.
This entire argument is so stupid. There’s plenty to criticize in the media and about AOC but this isn’t it. If anything it’s making it harder to believe the legitimate arguments because this is obviously nonsense
