WASHINGTON DC (VINnews) – After being endlessly mocked on social media for pretending to be handcuffed, AOC has come up with a (pitiful) explanation for why she placed her hands behind her back Tuesday, even though they were completely free and unfettered.

In a tweet Wednesday, socialist Ocasio-Cortez wrote:
No faking here. Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest.

But given how you lied about a fellow rape survivor for “points,” as you put it to me, I don’t expect much else from you. pic.twitter.com/lUc1TPS21D

In response, multiple Twitter users mocked AOC for her lame excuse:
Best practice to hold your hands behind your back and then wave to passerby’s? It was cringe – accept it and be better
Being a prior military cop, Putting your hands behind your back is not a proper thing to do. We have to see your hands 🙌 So don’t do that kids 👮♂️
Took you 20 hrs to come up with that spin? You were being a little drama queen
But then you waved… still fake and performance. It’s all about optics.

What a racist this AOC is. She is giving a demeaning message to black folks who are being arrested. She should be called out for this.

Following a police officer’s orders is the right thing to do.
