That’s an awesome journalist name!
That’s a horrifying image. She’s got some serious footwear. Fuck cops. I’m big and you’re small! I’ll hit you with this stick!
Fascist fuck.
Except if you have guns then we will be pussies of highest order. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/27/uvalde-shooting-police-gunman-shot-olivarez/
Except if you have guns then we will be pussies of highest order.
THAT’S how the 2nd amendment and much else of the Constitution was intended to be used, I feel. Y’know, before the people lost their damn minds for various reasons, and maybe they understood the importance of backing each other to keep the power-hungry at bay.
But now we’ve stood aside as we got things like State-defined rules for having proper unobtrusive protests, and unions that must be “authorized” and promise not to get in the way too much, binding arbitration without a right to a jury trial, and police shove and beat journalists while a loud chunk of the population says “He must’ve had a good reason! What’d you do?”
God help us.
Your monthly reminder here that forced arbitration is unconstitutional under the plain text of the 7th Amendment.
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
Wow, that’s an awesome reminder! TIL. Thank you kindly!
It was in my head because recently I had to send like 4 “Oh no you don’t” emails to like 4 or 5 companies that tried to pull that with a little ToS edit. It seems to be all the rage these days. :(
Looks like an awful lot of Freedom©®™ going down there 😂
Yep. Welcome to America, where all bald eagles live free.
If you’ve never seen Team American: World Police look it up and you’ll better understand what Americans think about American “freedom.” Which funnily enough recieved a NC-17 rating due to an explicit sex scene involving puppets.
As they say, Americans want “freedom to…”
Modern societies want “Freedom from…”
The above pic is a good example
Yes Aunt Lydia
Dunno who Lydia is but she probably can’t get an abortion 😂
Does he have enough shit hanging off his belt?
Those are “de-escalation devices”. First, you beat them with thing 1. If that doesn’t calm them down, you stun them with thing 2. If they are still not calm, you shoot them with thing 3. Repeat until America great again.
I know you’re joking but this is basically how police operate
Satire is dead
It doesn’t help that they took the “the beatings will continue until morale improves” as a rule.
This “rule” is highly accurate for recent events in the USA.
It’s called the wheel of force!
I studied all that stuff because I briefly wanted to be a cop while my brain was still forming. That all went away once I started hanging out and talking with cops.
Oh, so like a WoW player’s hotkey-bar. 👍👍
his donut holster is empty, so no, it needs a refill
Nope. It should have his home address too.
But it’s tactical!
It’s not like he plans to move quickly anyway. Hasn’t in a while.
that’s what the gun is for, the bullets can outrun anyone, even an unarmed child
Dun matter how pumped up your kicks are. :(
If I may say it: She’s hot.
Edit: You may downvote, but at the end of the day she’s still hot.
Nobody cares because it’s not relevant at all.

If you think political activism is hot, then yes.
You seem like the kind of person who keeps a tub of butter nearby at all times, unable to control themselves whenever you’re reminded that the opposite sex exists.
I’m not gonna ask what that’s supposed to mean because I don’t want to know
The butter is for lubrication.
I mean, she is wearing shorts but also a jacket/sweater thing, so I’d say she is probably comfortable temperature wise…
Why is the cop so chubby? That vest he’s wearing looks like its about to tear open any minute.

He is trying to look like a bear to trick women.
She spooked him. Not everyday you see a head floating above some legs and camera equipment.
It was worse than what the picture shows.
There’s a bunch of videos on Twitter/X showing how they pushed her into that position, turned her around, and hauled her off before cuffing her and detaining her. She was thankfully released later, but this is just far too much. All of it is.
Here’s a short video of the arrest, via @StatusCoup on Twitter:
Wow
Huge guts to snap the cop after getting pushed. Taunting a bear (if bears carried mace and had some of the world’s worst PR).
Not related at all. How can I disable gifs in comment sections. It’s super distracting for me and I would love to not have anything animated at all when I’m reading.
For Voyager iOS:
Settings > General > Autoplay GIFs/Videos
Embedded a gif of how to find it (just kidding):
But which client are you using? Or maybe the web?
PS: sorry to distract, hope you can find it cuz I’m all in on embeds - folks come to scroll not to click ;)
Also on browser I’m imagining a potential Ublock Origin solution in case Lemmy doesn’t have a setting there on web
Depends on what client you’re using, maybe you can’t?
I know. I absolutely adore that their finger is still firing off that shutter. A huge fuck you with each press.
The link didn’t post
It seems videos don’t federate to all platforms - I added a direct link to the post now. :)
Thanks!

Welcome to freest country in the world. We will support genocide and still somehow convince own delusional selves that we are good guys.
What is it that we’re free to do again? I have honestly forgotten what all these implied freedoms are actually supposed to entail.
You’re free to love white Jesus
Ooh you’ve reminded me of this comic! Good 'ol S-S Jesus https://www.beliefnet.com/news/2003/09/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.aspx
Rich, privileged white people are free to do anything. The rest of us are oppressed, beaten, and thrown in prison unless we obey.
Will you’re free to get fat, put on a blue uniform, and beat the fuck out of journalists and black people.
If that’s not freedom, I don’t know what is.
If you have forgotten Feedom, you must be a Russian shill. /s
gun
Not even. One police officer decides your sus while you’re armed and that’s it. They’re allowed to execute you on the spot. That’s not a right, that’s a privilege with a death sentence for anyone who mistakes themselves as part of the privileged class.
They are allowed to execute you on the spot regardless of what you may or may not have on you. All they have to do is to say they were scared.
Yes but 80% of the time they cite their belief someone had a gun. To the point that once a gun is found at the scene everyone tunes out. (Other made up offenses include having a knife and having nothing but walking toward them)
Which brings us back to the point of a gun being an excuse to execute you on the spot. Which also means you don’t actually have a 2nd amendment right. Rights that you only technically have, aren’t actually extant.
It’s okay though, we don’t actually have any of the rights from Amendments 1-8. So it’s not unusual for the second amendment to only technically exist either.
Other made up offenses include having a knife and having nothing but walking toward them
Or having a seizure on your kitchen floor.
Or having dementia and ending up at the wrong house because you think you live there.
You’re free to choose from 48 different flavours of corn syrup filled packaged food.
And the companies who sell the corn syrup foods are free to use all that money to influence politicians. Um… I mean…pay lobbyists, or become a super PAC or something that’s technically not corruption.
If “freedom” and “American exceptionalism” wasn’t dead on arrival it certainly was tossed off a high bridge when Trump was elected.
For those unaware, NYPD SRG is notorious for excessive force and civil rights violations.
In case, you know, it wasn’t blatantly obvious.

Ah, they did the Civil War movie IRL. Cool cool cool.

Russian nationals could be here under orange boy’s girlfriend’s orders. If she is not then i apologize for the thought but as you doubtless know, we the US are at greater odds to putin’s wishes and it has been bandied about by multiple sources that it is in putins interest to ensure we experience as much unrest here as he can generate.
yeah because we all know how fascist cops hate the orange boy.
Shit they love him. Almost hero worshiping
that’s what I’m saying

I certainly hope so, but cops are cops
damn, that give me some accidental renaissance vibe
Now imagine this image came out of Russia, it would be plastered on the covers of all magazines as the western world would stroke its ego dick around this image. But I guess it’s not coming out of Russia now, so it’s irrelevant. (Not that I support Russia lol, fuck their fascist regime too)
Maga like Russia though, so it’s all good.
When the war with Ukraine started, people in Russia went to protest it. Thousands were arrested on day one. No one remembers that now and it wasn’t reported much in the West.
I think your memory is betraying you here, because all the big media outlets were talking about the protests going on in Russia at the time
Are you sure? Because I clearly remember the whole internet and Western media joking how Russia will collapse in 24 hours instead of reporting what was actually going on. And then people shitting on Russians for not doing anything to stop the war.
Would it? Was it plastered all over magazines when they were arresting people for holding signs that say things like ” I will be arrested for this sign”
For some reason googling her name gives results for like 8 different people in various countries and time periods.
Very common first and last name in Russia and the former Russian Empire / USSR
Like it’s a name or something.
I mean yeah! What are the chances of someone having the same name as you? Like, one in a million, tops.
That would mean there’s around 8000 people with your exact same name. That’s a lot of people
And I friended every one of them on Facebook until I deleted it half a decade ago.

you need to sign in to even look at shXitter now? Thank fuck, it’s finally dead.
On desktop Firefox, using the Imagus add-on, I can still see the image by hovering over the link.
Thanks

A link is great but xitter doesn’t let anyone without an account even look at content from their page anymore. Is there an alternate place to see these?
Removed by mod
And straight to a different loggin…
Jesus. Everything needs a fucking account anymore.
If you’re not signed in, its harder to track you.
This has nothing to do with that. Signing in with an account other than OP’s wouldn’t have done anything.
I thought the federation was against this type of stuff! :(
