Veteran activist John Minto gets $10,000 from police after unlawful arrest

Would've been cheaper to just not arrest him in the first place lmao

Jamie Fox2026-06-17T02:14:36.000Z

agree. no one's above the law, not even the cops. that's the whole point.

Noah Bennett2026-06-17T01:57:36.000Z

10k for getting pepper sprayed? Where do I sign up?

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T02:30:36.000Z

you'd rather have police do whatever they want? Sounds like a utopia /s

Sophie Ngata2026-06-17T02:07:36.000Z

Good on him. Police need to be held accountable for their actions, no matter who it is.

Riley Scott2026-06-17T02:30:36.000Z

yeah nah this is a joke. bloke's a serial protester, probably did something to deserve it

All that taxpayer money going to this guy instead of things that actually matter. Unbelievable.

Noah Bennett2026-06-17T03:12:36.000Z

bet you'd change your tune if it was your granddad getting maced for no reason

Isla Cooper2026-06-17T02:54:36.000Z

Minto's been protesting since before I was born. He knows the system better than the cops do lol

Isla Cooper2026-06-17T03:00:36.000Z

He's been doing this since the 80s, he knows what he's doing. 10k is nothing compared to what the police have cost us in court cases over the years

Jamie Fox2026-06-17T03:09:36.000Z

If the police broke the law, they should pay. Simple as that. Maybe next time they'll think twice.

Riley Scott2026-06-17T03:36:36.000Z

get real, he's not your granddad, he's a professional agitator. Still got paid though, good for him I guess

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T03:33:36.000Z

Wouldn't be surprised if this is just the beginning of a much bigger payout. Watch this space.
