Politifact: "No, Jack Posobiec was not arrested or detained in Davos" It was literally caught on video (archive.ph)

In the footage, Posobiec was not physically restrained.

Posobiec was not handcuffed or arrested, and was not taken into any physical detainment in any of the footage shared online thus far

You don’t have to be “physically detained” to be detained. This is more pathetic word games.

Not being allowed to leave is a physical restraint on your movement.

That's why if you try to do that as a private person to another private person, it's classified as a kidnapping.

It's why standing in someone's way as they try to leave a confined space, without making physical contact with them, is battery and false imprisonment.

He was not "physically restrained" because he didn't try to escape. If he did try to escape, then they would say that they had to physically restrain him because he got belligerent.

This is horse shlit @PolitiFact

My crew and myself were detained by heavily-armed officers, searched, fully frisked one by one, and not allowed to leave for over an hour. We have this on video. You are liars.

Yeah pretty sure I filmed this detainment with my own two eyes...

Leftists always lie because they hate the truth and whites.

Leftists don't even have to believe their own lies. They just tell lies for fun and rape children for fun.

All leftists are pure evil

The Fabian Socialists don't care about whites, because whites are just as disposable of a demographic to them as any other.

In this specific case, the Leftist media isn't acting with hatred against whites, they are just acting on behalf of their paymasters.

Arested, maybe not literally. Detained, absolutely.

Yeah, "detained without charge" isn't normally a step up in terms of your civil liberties, is it?

Imagine the balls to try and make the prosecutor argue that to a judge.

"The suspect was not detained for the hour and a half we held him on the side of the road and searched him."

The left hides its poisons in the crural folds of legal intertrigo... Use your nose.

The better to punch, and thereby sting into reality. More important than size, is the ability to detect trace poison: like references to big noses, O consoomer proselyteer.

Funny how they switched the word "detained" from the claim to "Arrested".

Detention/detained implies "prevented movement"; it was wholly forestalled. Whereas Arrest/arrested implies "halted movement"; it was quashed. So the distinction is whether JP was not moving or already moving.

Physical contact just ups the tortious portion to assault (which must then be justified).

If JP was walking, he was arrested and THEN detained in one spot, without ever being assaulted... --Accurate

Something like that. Words mean things, and the left doesn't like that non-postmodern fact. So use it to annoy them, via precision. And any legal brains out there, feel free to dissect the terms better'n I did.

JP said detained. He was detained. Detained is being stopped and then told you can't leave by police.

That's the proper term.

Politifacts used arrested because they're hacks.

So the distinction is whether JP was not moving or already moving.

No, it's not. Being detained and being placed under arrest are 2 different things and have no relation to whether you're moving or not.

I am getting really tired of seeing 1984 being acted out every single day somewhere in this fucked up world. No, no . . . he wasn't ARRESTED, he was DETAINED. Don't you know the difference you illiterate plebs? Keep up!"

Politifact is obviously politically biased, so for them to claim to be a neutral source dedicated to checking media claims of fact is ludicrous.
