AccidentalRenaissance? Here ya go
Also LAPDOh my god, yes, finally… been dying for a new AccidentalRenaissance ever since I left Reddit
Accidental for the cops. The photographer and Lady Liberty there knew exactly what photo they were going for, and the cops predictably gave it to them.
The Asian cop looks amused. Would I be fooling myself to imagine him thinking “I have to do this so I don’t get fired, but man this is going to be such a historic photo!”
LAPD are notorious shitbags so probably not.
What’s the story here?
The lady showed up to the No Kings protest prepared to be arrested and dressed for the part, and the photographer was looking for a great shot to match it. The cops, being complete idiots, decided that they would handcuff lady liberty, never considering the context of the situation or that they are, in fact, the bad guys of the photo.
Or they knew exactly what they were doing. There are plenty of cops who just had a choice between cop or army.
Walmart wasnt hiring?
Or Mickey D’s?
This is the article it likely came from, which gives sparse detail (archive link, I couldn’t access the original)
Copper cuffs copper.
I see what you did there
Why is she being handcuffed?
She’s colored.
It’s the LAPD. I’m not sure even they know the reason.
They cast the bones and the bones told them to. Don’t argue with them.
American laws are very serious.
The US summarised perfectly.
She’s not being roughed up enough to be 100% correct.
That’s just because she’s white under the green makeup.
