Is this a backstage look at a new The Crow movie starring Bryan Cranston?

Empricorn ,

You joke, but I would watch the fuck out of that!

Pigeons are not wild, but feral. They are basically like a breed of dogs that we failed. A little love and food goes a long ways for them.

Alternate ending to Breaking Bad?

Friends? What if this guy is a Tom Lehrer fan?

This happened to me once when I made the foolish error of opening a Bueno bar in front of Notre Dame in Paris. Was swarmed by a few dozen of these bois.

Gonna get deadly when the cops inevitably smash all the mirrors to make a point and scream "stop resisting!" while people are bleeding out from glass shards in their necks.

Are you talking about American cops or these in particular, because these appear to be Ukrainian policemen

Edit: Nevermind, I found some sources. This photo was taken in Kyiv, Ukraine, during one of the protests of the Revolution of Dignity

Doesn't work because cops look at themselves in the mirror before work and think they look badass.

I mean... According to my 5yr old nephew they do, and he's kind of an authority on this, so...

This face doesnt look like it thinks it at the moment.

nilloc ,

Because it’s looking at the photographer.

Probably trying to figure out how to beat them through the mirror.

Hopefully he didn’t start beating the old lady instead.

Mhhh...Good answer.

Who took the photo?

athairmor ,

Probably, someone standing somewhere behind the cops with a telephoto lens on their camera.

Muscar ,

You can see the hand of the photographer in the left side of the mirror.

PunnyName ,

Oh damn, I could barely see that. Nice eye.

Nice to meet you, Jasper.

Is it pregnant or is that its normal belly?

kat_angstrom OP ,

No idea

But it's definitely majestic!

Beardsley , in Tasers in the Outfield

Well that seems like a completely justifiable use of force in this situation. /s

Also, why is he shoeless? Perhaps an homage to Shoeless Joe Jackson?

June ,

I've seen a photo of the one being tased doing a flip in front of this officer. I'm assuming no shoes because it's easier to do stuff like that without them?

Madison420 ,

That take your shoes in jail in a lot of places. Iirc they have a stadium jail and probably wouldn't be allowed to have them in the cell.

“Ah yes, someone interrupting the sportsball game. Let’s use a weapon on them that is sometimes fatal. That is an appropriate escalation of force.”

Sorry for my off-topic comment/question but I have been curious about this for a while and never got around to asking.

I see you're on a Mastodon instance but are commenting on a Lemmy post. How can you see Lemmy from your instance? Maybe I need to play with the web interface more, but I usually use my mobile device/apps to access Mastodon (Tusky app) and Lemmy (Boost app). Maybe my apps don't support seeing Toots from Boost, and seeing Lemmy posts from Tusky.

Is it only possible via a web browser and if so, how? I'm not too familiar with the web interface.

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have on this off-topic!

Edit: I just thought about a possibility... you might be using your Mastodon login in Lemmy (does it allow that?) so when you use lemmy it looks like your browsing from Mastodon but you're really in Lemmy with a Mastodon account. Is that how it works?

harmonygritz ,
@harmonygritz@mastodon.social avatar

@irreticent I'm only on Mastodon/in the fediverse via browser so I can't comment on app options, sorry.

In my Home feed & Live feed, I see posts from all over and can reply, boost, and/or bookmark w/ only the one login. I can find & follow folks from other instances via basic search, with @ or a name if I know it.

Mastodon dot social has very active moderation. I'm sure posts & instances exist that I will never know about. Hope this helps!

@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

It was very helpful, thanks!

niktemadur ,

Your comment assumes that there is a reasoning mind inside that uniform, instead of mindless knee-jerk brute force.

And that mindlessness also goes for whoever decides to pull these "I might get tased for this" pranks or dares, just to be a blip on local television for a second or two.

I'm assuming America, lucky the wernt shot.

But I guess this isn't a school field

TachyonTele ,

Cincinnati is usually in America, yes.

Love the name, btw

It's fine, he shouted "He's coming right for us!" first.
