Sounds like a russian national.

todd_bonzalez ,

And?

Sam_Bass , (edited )

Russian nationals could be here under orange boy’s girlfriend’s orders. If she is not then i apologize for the thought but as you doubtless know, we the US are at greater odds to putin’s wishes and it has been bandied about by multiple sources that it is in putins interest to ensure we experience as much unrest here as he can generate.

pyre ,

yeah because we all know how fascist cops hate the orange boy.

Sam_Bass ,

Shit they love him. Almost hero worshiping

pyre ,

that’s what I’m saying

todd_bonzalez ,

I guess it’s just weird to see that someone has a Russian name and assume that they must be here by order of Putin and/or Trump. You come across as unhinged a racist Republican talking to literally any Asian person where they assume they must be a Communist working for China.

Sam_Bass ,

I am neither racist nor repuglican just keying on an obvious cyrillic name

Also sounds like an Ukrainian national.

Or an American one.

What a headache! I'm sure the cops asked her politely to clarify before brutally arresting her. :)

Sam_Bass ,

I certainly hope so, but cops are cops

boatsnhos931 ,

Oooo hit me harder daddy

FiniteBanjo ,

For some reason googling her name gives results for like 8 different people in various countries and time periods.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Like it’s a name or something.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

I mean yeah! What are the chances of someone having the same name as you? Like, one in a million, tops.

jnk ,

That would mean there’s around 8000 people with your exact same name. That’s a lot of people

blanketswithsmallpox ,

And I friended every one of them on Facebook until I deleted it half a decade ago.

sparkle ,

Very common first and last name in Russia and the former Russian Empire / USSR

City of New York, independent press.

Not exactly subtle either.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Looks like an awful lot of Freedom©®™ going down there 😂

Daft_ish ,

If you’ve never seen Team American: World Police look it up and you’ll better understand what Americans think about American “freedom.” Which funnily enough recieved a NC-17 rating due to an explicit sex scene involving puppets.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

As they say, Americans want “freedom to…”

Modern societies want “Freedom from…”

The above pic is a good example

ThrowawayPermanente ,

Yes Aunt Lydia

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Dunno who Lydia is but she probably can’t get an abortion 😂

Emerald ,

Yep. Welcome to America, where all bald eagles live free.

todd_bonzalez ,

Look, ACAB and all that, but after doing a lot of googling, I did finally find proof that that “Olga Fedorova” does in fact exist, and is a “journalist”, but being a nightcrawler for FreedomNewsTV doesn’t deserve the respect some of you seem to want to give her.

A quick look at the website, and I think these cops attacked one of their allies.

NikkiDimes , (edited )

Good. Maybe experiencing this kind of thing first hand will change her and her colleagues’ views.

Edit: I hadn’t looked into the site, but I figured from the post above they were some right leaning rage bait site. I figure people like that seeing police brutality first hand wouldn’t be a horrible thing for the world. That said, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

@aasatru@kbin.earth avatar

Here's their website. I'm not entirely sure what makes people working for them deserving of being beaten up by cops, but I'm sure people with more time on their hands than me can come up with something.

“The beatings will continue until you love the police”

NikkiDimes ,

Not at all what I was trying to say, but okay.

puppy ,

What were you trying to say with this then?

NikkiDimes ,

I mean…you can see my edit.

“black and blue til’ you back the blue” XD

aasatru OP ,
@aasatru@kbin.earth avatar

I don't see how the outlet she represents is relevant at all. The cops shouldn't be violently arresting peaceful protesters, and they should not be violently arresting people with press credentials for pointing their camera in what they consider to be the wrong direction.

She has NYC press credentials, she's press. It doesn't matter that she's not from your personal favourite newspaper.

Reddfugee42 ,

This smells just as disingenuous as American politicians that want to cut off TikTok because they don’t like American citizens having a source of news they can’t control.

From this video to TikTok to anything else, debate the facts all day long, but as soon as you allow people to be treated this way because you disagree with them, it’s literally the beginning of the collapse of society.

Everyone is disagreed with by someone, so who will end up with human rights?

jnk ,

but being a nightcrawler for FreedomNewsTV doesn’t deserve the respect some of you seem to want to give her.

You mean like i would respect any fucking human being? Then screw her, a woman with a russian name and a camera is clearly not to be considered human, i would’ve shot her at first sight

/s in case is missed

The NYPD is one of the biggest gangs in the US. They get paid the best, by those they don’t protect of course.

aasatru OP ,
@aasatru@kbin.earth avatar

Creds and copyright Alex Kent over at Twitter. He also posted a picture of Fedorova's arrest, with her press credentials at full display.

The context is, of course, the ongoing anti genocide protests.

metaStatic ,

you need to sign in to even look at shXitter now? Thank fuck, it's finally dead.

aasatru OP ,
@aasatru@kbin.earth avatar

You're better off, the comment section is full of bootlickers anyway.

Here's the tweet:

knocking down and arresting credentialed journalist Olga Fedorova in New York, NY on May 8, 2024.

There are two attached images. The second photo should be accessible through the link even without signing in, but I attach it here for good measure.

On desktop Firefox, using the Imagus add-on, I can still see the image by hovering over the link.

childOfMagenta ,

Thanks

Entertainmeonly ,

A link is great but xitter doesn’t let anyone without an account even look at content from their page anymore. Is there an alternate place to see these?

aasatru OP , (edited )
@aasatru@kbin.earth avatar

It's just two images, I've posted the second one here. :)

This has nothing to do with that. Signing in with an account other than OP’s wouldn’t have done anything.

Oh bother - I tried the direct link to the post, apparently that's for my eyes only. Fixed it now, thanks for pointing it out! :)

Nice to see Americans standing up against the Russians after years of watching them dick ride for Putin.

Fuck these useful idiots.

She spooked him. Not everyday you see a head floating above some legs and camera equipment.
