Accidental for the cops. The photographer and Lady Liberty there knew exactly what photo they were going for, and the cops predictably gave it to them.
The Asian cop looks amused. Would I be fooling myself to imagine him thinking “I have to do this so I don’t get fired, but man this is going to be such a historic photo!”
LAPD are notorious shitbags so probably not.
I think the cops knew exactly what was going on.
Oh my god, yes, finally… been dying for a new AccidentalRenaissance ever since I left Reddit
Copper cuffs copper.
I see what you did there
Is it me or are most US cops switching from handcuffs to “zipties” now? Did they run out?
What the hell is going on over there lol
When they want to arrest too many people they use zip ties. They still use cuffs and generally overtighten them as a form of punishment when individuals are being arrested.

Cheap and light, and apparently around since 1965.
The US summarised perfectly.
She’s not being roughed up enough to be 100% correct.
That’s just because she’s white under the green makeup.
Why is she being handcuffed?
She’s colored.
It’s the LAPD. I’m not sure even they know the reason.
They cast the bones and the bones told them to. Don’t argue with them.
American laws are very serious.
She’s foreign, obviously.
AccidentalRenaissance? Here ya go
Also LAPDWhat’s the story here?
The lady showed up to the No Kings protest prepared to be arrested and dressed for the part, and the photographer was looking for a great shot to match it. The cops, being complete idiots, decided that they would handcuff lady liberty, never considering the context of the situation or that they are, in fact, the bad guys of the photo.
Or they knew exactly what they were doing. There are plenty of cops who just had a choice between cop or army.
Walmart wasnt hiring?
Or Mickey D’s?

Do you know what she was arrested for?
Protesting on the wrong place, I imagine?
This is the article it likely came from, which gives sparse detail (archive link, I couldn’t access the original)

This is what someone sounds like trying to justify a nightmare regime with zero understanding of history. Hope you get wise someday, but I know you’re the kind of bootlicker who will never get it.

Am I reading it wrong? I understood their comment in the complete opposite of how you did.
Note NK stands for No Kings not North Korea as some got confused.
North Korea?
No Kings, it took me a few seconds too
What do you not like North Korea?
I mean, it’s slowly looking better than the US…
…and, even if we accept that to be a generally true statement, you think that warrants arrest?
