Warning: police violence—— Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst and whistleblower, spoke out during Gina Haspel’s confirmation hearing against her participation in the CIA’s rendition and torture program. He was brutalized by police who ripped him out of the hearing room and while he shouted that they had dislocated his arm they continued to shove him into the ground. This violent suppression of peaceful protest is unconscionable!!! #BlockHaspel
