      Is it me or are most US cops switching from handcuffs to “zipties” now? Did they run out?

        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.

    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!”

      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.

      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.

      …and, even if we accept that to be a generally true statement, you think that warrants arrest?

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

👉 Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

👉 Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it’s “tasteful”.

👉 Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

👉 The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

👉 NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

📸 If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

👩‍🦯 Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
