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 need to sign in to even look at shXitter now? Thank fuck, it’s finally dead.
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.
On desktop Firefox, using the Imagus add-on, I can still see the image by hovering over the link.
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?
It’s just two images, I’ve posted the second one here. :)
And straight to a different loggin…
Oh bother - I tried the direct link to the post, apparently that’s for my eyes only. Fixed it now, thanks for pointing it out! :)
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.
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
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).
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. :)
For some strange reason clicking the link says address not found
Thanks!
Looks like an awful lot of Freedom©®™ going down there 😂
Yep. Welcome to America, where all bald eagles live free.
That Police logo on the holster looks incredibly fascisty
“Are we the baddies?”
“No! Of course not!”
“Are you sure? Our
uniformscaps have skulls on them.”Edit: Whoops, not uniforms. Also, for those who haven’t had the pleasure: https://youtu.be/ToKcmnrE5oY

makes aeroplane noises while gesturing above head
That’s one fat, dumpy, ACAB fascist right there.
The camera adds 50 pounds. That’s why he wants to eat it.
Aww shit is it time to link that afroman song again?

P.S. this matters to no one but somehow afroman is somehow in my phone’s dictionary which i believe to be based

How many cameras are on him?
On him, or on his belt?
Multiply n by 50? Or you still don’t get the joke?
I was riffing. Making additional jokes. Cuz he has a shitload of stuff on his belt.
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)
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”
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.
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
Oh, so like a WoW player’s hotkey-bar. 👍👍
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. :(
his donut holster is empty, so no, it needs a refill
Nope. It should have his home address too.
The NYPD is one of the biggest gangs in the US. They get paid the best, by those they don’t protect of course.
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/

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.
Aaah, she’s getting the sweet taste of American freedom
For those unaware, NYPD SRG is notorious for excessive force and civil rights violations.
In case, you know, it wasn’t blatantly obvious.
“democracy”
Land of the not so free, home of the cowards.
For some reason googling her name gives results for like 8 different people in various countries and time periods.
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.
Very common first and last name in Russia and the former Russian Empire / USSR
i fucking hate cop bastards so much.
can we please riot and general strike?
