Image of woman opposing police goes viral

[Xada]

Lol, the cops look like they are about to fall over because of all that shit they are wearing.

[Reeve]

I really get tired of hearing that something "has gone viral" We lived in an internet age where everything is just a click away. Everything is viral at this point..

I agree. It's become just a slightly more annoying way to say, "It's popular."

Unfortunately the police shooting in Dallas will trump that photo. The comparison to Tiananmen Sq is bit of a reach.

Black folks getting killed by police is terrible. Police are killing a lot of citizens though, white people too. Unfortunately, pretty much every one black/white thats been killed have been in the wrong with rap sheets longer than this post.

Interfering with someone's daily grind is very brave indeed!

comparing those two pictures. shaking my head. They only look similar on the very surface. There is a huge difference between those pictures. Comparing those two is an insult in my opinion.

If there was a stack of Krispy Kreme doughnuts behind her, then it would have been very brave. Someone needs to get to work on a photoshop of that pic.

Who is that guard of honour for?



I am guessing it is not really a guard of honour.

Its either a photo before Bloody Sunday or of a march after. Not sure.

This one was taken Bloody Sunday

This is how people want the repressed to protest. Peacefully hauled away to jail to be forgotten.

Exactly.

Now I’m against any form of violence as a principle but I honestly can’t understand why we don’t see any more protests. The US police are murdering people left and right yet several replays to this threat seem to be directed towards the woman violating the law by standing in the middle of the road etc. It is truly a sad and scary path a lot of people are going down at in these Trump-days

Watched it on Periscope. They warned the protesters repeatedly to stay off the road. She ignored them, and walked over to them to get herself arrested. What an idiot...

There's been multiple pictures like this recently that people have staged (bringing along someone to take the photo, dressing up, confronting them with no one else close by in the frame, etc), released, and aggressively spread to try to go viral. Just another narcissistic social justice trend.

I'm not saying that's definitely the case with this, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was.

She looks really pretty. Basically all I have to say about this.

I would definitely like to handcuff her, if shes willing.

Even if it is, it makes for a cool picture.

It's cool for sure, just not very heroic

The OP photo was taken by a Reuters news reporter I think. Here's a photo from another news photographer who is clueless about imagery. Really the news photographer is more responsible for this imagery than the people in it.

She's even more fine in this picture.

No originality.

Another good pic from the same protest from the same photographer:

[Ratboy]

Where are the pictures of what happened next? Or did the photographer run out of film?

Lmao look at your cops. Proper stormtroopers.
