handcuff

In another clip, federal agents detained an elderly man sitting on the sidewalk near a liquor store, “making sure to put a handcuff on his hand as they helped him up.”

The footage doesn’t show him being arrested, but two witnesses told the outlet that they saw agents handcuff Ventura Aguilar and place him in a van.

“But—handcuffs, dear me! It must have been awful!”

Videos on social media showed federal authorities in Charlotte handcuffing people and leading them into cars.

“Such as witnessing a parent being handcuffed,” the institute says.
