Georgia state lawmaker Park Cannon says she was 'afraid' during arrest protesting voting bill
CNN
Georgia state Rep. Park Cannon on Thursday night recounted her arrest last week protesting Georgia's controversial election overhaul bill as "terrifying" and said she was "afraid" in the moment, but that she felt it was important to try and witness the bill's signing for transparency reasons.
"I was afraid, just like many Americans are when they come into contact with law enforcement, that there would be a need for me to protect myself. But instead I was able to just continue to think about the world was watching, people could see, and it was still very terrifying," Cannon told CNN's Don Lemon, alongside her attorney.More Related News
