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?

@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!

It was very helpful, thanks!

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.

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

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

kibiz0r , in Tasers in the Outfield

ACAB indeed.

No one is to have fun at the old billionaires game. Bastards 13:12

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.

This is a fantastic picture and a great fit for the sub. Sorry, community.

sasquash ,

the first picture looks so staged. like a bad stock picture

ButtDrugs ,

Looks like a wedding photographer staged it after they for real dropped the ring and people dove in to help look.

'murica, land of the poorly trained police shakes head (but not in disbelief).

This song is amazing! Can't believe I've made it this far in life without seeing the video

TIN ,

Love Tom Cardy. His lord of the rings song is a constant rewatch favourite.

CareHare ,

Perception check is also great!

Tom Cardy is my fave musician.

Tom Cardy is the man. He's got stuff on Spotify I've never seen on YouTube/TikTok, too.

A more interesting pic:

*Editing to say I didn't notice the sub, and I don't mean to suggest the OP pic was subpar. I just got excited and wanted to share the other images too.

TachyonTele ,

The cop was justifiably scared. There's no way he could do any flips in the air.

NeatNit ,

He did the backflip, all that was left to do is snap the bad guy's neck and save the day. So close!

But I gotta say I really don't understand what's happening in the top right image, or the order of events.

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.

@Lotarion@lemmy.world avatar

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

Snapz , in Tasers in the Outfield

Coward cop man, threatening a human life in defense of property/profit.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Y'all ain't from the Midwest are you? Half the people I know right now are in creeks like this looking for brown or pink rings and usually a fight or two.

CoolMatt ,

I'll show you a brown ring

blanketswithsmallpox ,

My what a lovely tea party.

lengau ,

Who has friends?

TheRaven ,
@TheRaven@lemmy.ca avatar

Who has?

nexas_XIII ,

Yes, but who was phone?

L3mmyW1nks ,

Adobe

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Mr and Mrs Adobe sounds like a nice person then.

Mod here.

We're not looking for accidental photos, as in "I yeeted my phone and accidentally captured A Renaissance™", because those mostly don't exist.

We're looking for well-composed photos that, as the photographer was pursuing a nice photo, also accidentally copied the rules of Renaissance painting, which does sometimes overlap (as a happenstance) with the fundamentals of good photography.

We remove a shitload of photos that are objectively gorgeous and technically astute, but don't look like paintings, so trust me, there's a difference.

PunnyName , in Soul Reflection

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.

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.
