    Creds and copyright Alex Kent over at Twitter. He also posted a picture of Fedorova’s arrest, with her press credentials at full display.

    The context is, of course, the ongoing anti genocide protests.

        You’re better off, the comment section is full of bootlickers anyway.

        Here’s the tweet:

        #NYPD knocking down and arresting credentialed journalist Olga Fedorova in New York, NY on May 8, 2024.

        There are two attached images. The second photo should be accessible through the link even without signing in, but I attach it here for good measure.

    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.

          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.

    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)

      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.

      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.

        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.
