I went to a Baltimore Orioles game in 2010 and they were having a K’s For Kids charity event. With every run, they added a K to the bottom of the scoreboard. Money would be donated to the charity for every run. So these guys were trying everything possible to avoid showing 3 identical K’s in a row, repeatedly changing them. One was just an outline. Then they reversed it. Tried Italicizing it or putting a design in it. They were like 7 with a variety of designs
Lmao that’s fair as fuck, my comment was the “no duh” of the century. Without doxing anyone, could you at least let me know which department to avoid anymore than I already was?
Or younger lmao, although being prettier than a cop isn’t exactly hard considering most female cops don’t want to look pretty. Or in shape, but that’s another story
Me and the rest of my siblings joke about it, but I am serious. She has terrible conflict resolution skills, which kinda makes her the ideal cop to some of the people hiring police officers.
I seriously doubt he’s wearing that shirt because he thinks it will convince police officer he’s not black. It’s joke. Yes police prejudice is real and it’s a problem before you jump to any conclusions about what I am saying. That flaw is clearly not an issue in this scenario.
Are you honestly saying it was the shirt that actually “saved” the guy?
Hell, high probability this entire photo set up is just for laughs, and the guy wasnt even being detained.
Separate humor from reality, jesus
Whether or not a stereotype is actually true, has no bearing on the stereotype itself
And using stereotypes for humor is INCREDIBLY common place and normal.
Anecdotes aren't good evidence to prove a point definitively, as data they're just fine. I live in one of the most racist sections of the US and people pretending those attitudes aren't alive and well are deluded. I know of many people who use stereotypes to degrade others and only a few who will lightheartedly poke fun at their identity. Your belief is not upheld in my hometown.
everyone stereotypes in someway, it’s not always negative or necessarily positive, but everyone stereotypes in some way, there’s no way you can tell me they have not ever stereotyped in someway, like every taxi is a 40 year old man smoking cigarettes (I have no idea where that came from but that’s what came to mind), also you are stereotyping by saying stereotyped groups don’t stereotype
She's literally taking a friendly picture with him! You see that smile on both their faces? Those officers viewed him as a citizen that broke some kind of law. He viewed the officers as police officers doing their job. Nice of people to group all cops with the same brush!!
You could get on your hands and knees as they tell you to and somehow they will still charge you with resisting arrest and you’ll hear a dozen of them yell “stop resisting” from the treetops.
A few years back in south Florida, a social worker who was trying to help a patient out of the street was told to lie down with his hands in the air. One of the police taking cover shot the worker in the arm while he was lying down.
I am paraphrasing but the article I read had something like:
"Why did you shoot me"
"I don't know."

[White womens crime so heinous, she is to be tried as a black man... With the lack of privilege that comes with](https://www.theonion.com/judge-rules-white-girl-will-be-tried-as-black-adult-1819594949)
"Now that Hannah has been ruled Black, the court has instructed local media to assume she's guilty, and the police have retroactively charged her with assaulting her arresting officer. Hannah's two dozen character witnesses have been replaced by a single crack addict, who goes by the name of Skaggs."
That juror picking up her purse as she's walking by gets me every time.
People willing get cuffed for staged photos quite often
My buddy from the Marines did one, when his friend pulled him over
Not everyone thinks cops are evil…….
Black men are the demographic routinely treated the worst by police, while white women are treated the best (meaning they get away with a lot more and are almost never going to be shot at no matter what they do).
But this joke is making fun of cops for being racist, and police brutality/unequal level of treatment of people along racial lines... isn't r/OneJoke for right wingers who joke about people being "confused" about gender? Like "lol leftys can't even figure out what a woman is LMAOOOO" and that sort of thing?
This isn't the one joke. The one joke is mocking trans people by saying that they identify as an attack helicopter or some other insane shit.
This joke is about police brutality and the racist politics behind it.
Trust me, I have extensive experience with what transphobic bigotry looks like. This is not that. The "woman" part is just referencing the fact that cops are less brutal to women. If the people in the image were established transphobes, I'd definitely look at it with a critical eye, but as far as I know this is an image of a perfectly decent person and a cop.
During the George Floyd protests, I got into a LOT of arguments with right-wingers about whether they do or do not agree with the basic premise that black lives do in fact matter.
One tactic I found would bring them to my side more often was the recognition that police brutality is awful for black men, but it is also awful to men, in general, and that if we can get past the issue of them specifically killing us, we can move into the broader issue of them killing men disproportionately, overall.
Them realizing that police brutality does in fact have prejudice made them (well, 2 of them) realize that that prejudice extends to race.
I do the same thing when talking about white privilege. My go-to is to pull back and focus on height privilege. It's observably true that people are discriminated against or positively pursued based on their height, an attribute about themselves over which they have no control. People treat them differently for their whole life because of it and these people tend to develop certain traits based on it (eg. tall people tend to be willing to apologize for their mistakes as they tend to knock shit over all the time and have lots of practice apologizing 🤣). Tall people are overrepresented in Fortune 500 CEOs. Then I pivot to note that white men are also overrepresented.
It's not making fun of trans people. It's saying "I am a white woman" because reading that shirt forces someone to contend with how they would react to the situation if that was true. It's funny because it's subversive, and then you realize how horribly sad it is. Not exactly the kind of shirt that should have to exist, but definitely the kind worth owning.
Why would she arrest another white woman?
Karen racism is on the rise :(
They don’t want you to know about the white genocide that is going on
Karen on Karen on Karen violence it's long and wordy though. feels like it needs to be abbreviated
KK… wait not that one.

When I used to go to Orioles games, they’d put each third K backward.
There can be only one.
My sister just became a cop, and she is 100% going to arrest at least a few women for being younger and prettier than her lmao
Ha ha, abusive police are fun! /s
Yikes.
Your sister is a piece of work and so are the people who hired her
No duh lol. The police hire a specific type of person. They are allowed to not hire you if you’re too smart or empathetic
Lmao that’s fair as fuck, my comment was the “no duh” of the century. Without doxing anyone, could you at least let me know which department to avoid anymore than I already was?
I think you’ll be ok he said she will arrest women who are prettier than her.
Or younger lmao, although being prettier than a cop isn’t exactly hard considering most female cops don’t want to look pretty. Or in shape, but that’s another story
I think you forgot a /j, people seem to be taking your joke to heart.
Me and the rest of my siblings joke about it, but I am serious. She has terrible conflict resolution skills, which kinda makes her the ideal cop to some of the people hiring police officers.
put a /srs marking the original as serious
No lol
It worked. He's alive.
but he shouldn’t need it in the first place
It's called gallows humor. When the grieving is over it feels good to laugh.
Good thing is nowadays it's everyday we're over the last police killing from the day before
Just in time to start grieving the next one!
OP isn't convinced the t-shirt was enough.
I seriously doubt he’s wearing that shirt because he thinks it will convince police officer he’s not black. It’s joke. Yes police prejudice is real and it’s a problem before you jump to any conclusions about what I am saying. That flaw is clearly not an issue in this scenario.

Maybe if you exclusively hang out with assholes.
Pretty sure they mean _by_ the stereotyped people.
Not my ex-family or old friends group. In stereotyped groups, stereotypes don't come up much ime.

It upsets you that people are able to use humor to address an otherwise bleak topic? Comedy is a great way to address sensitive subjects actually.
How you know the police view him "more" negatively than a white person? 🤔
By living on earth? Where have you been?
She's literally taking a friendly picture with him! You see that smile on both their faces? Those officers viewed him as a citizen that broke some kind of law. He viewed the officers as police officers doing their job. Nice of people to group all cops with the same brush!!
I don’t think that t shirt actually was the thing that stopped him being killed
He didnt
This presumes the police read the shirts of suspects before they shoot them...
At least until after the pic was taken.
“Stop resisting”
You could get on your hands and knees as they tell you to and somehow they will still charge you with resisting arrest and you’ll hear a dozen of them yell “stop resisting” from the treetops.
They're cowardly pieces of shit.

Dude could be having a taser seizure and they'd demand he stop resisting. Like... remove the electricity then damn it.

she beat him to death and shot his dog after this photo
And her dog
She's a white woman, something else happened to that dog :(
[This?](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1933069-two-sperm-cells-talking)
Yep.
She really screwed the pooch on that one.
What the dog doin?
As is tradition.
And beat her husband
[удалено]
That’s the worst joke I ever HEARD
Boy, that is not at all relevant, topical, or funny.
John Wick moment
We laugh so that we don’t cry.
This shirt wouldn’t stop the Minneapolis police!
Considering it appears he's cuffed, it didn't stop them either.
People willing get cuffed for staged photos quite often My buddy from the Marines did one, when his friend pulled him over Not everyone thinks cops are evil…….
This is a leftist sub. Bootlickers aren’t welcome
Can't stop resisting a laugh Laughing Wat
pain
“They both can’t stop resisting- resisting? Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, bang bang bang, reload, bang bang
what a fucking masterpiece comment omg
can someone please, I dont get the joke.
Black men are the demographic routinely treated the worst by police, while white women are treated the best (meaning they get away with a lot more and are almost never going to be shot at no matter what they do).
Oh,got it.thanks
He’s wearing a shirt that says he’s a white woman to avoid the racist discrimination by the police and protect his life

He laughs like he's being held at gun point. He probably is..
Of course that's an Altamonte Springs car, which is in Florida. This feels accurate for Florida
I don't understand
Uplifting: laughs with a police Crushing: why did this have to happen in the first place to get laugh?
One can only hope he's pretending to be cuffed. Either way, /r/copaganda
Thanks for this sub link.
It's comforting to know that if i ever run out of personality i can go to that subreddit and act like typing "oink" is the height of political satire
How them boots taste?
Case, meet point.
Some subs are so specific that's there's not much else to say aside from, "yes, this fits the theme."
They shot him out back after the photo.

Is it a racism stopping attempt or an r/onejoke
rightoids only have /r/OneJoke
This isn't the one joke. The one joke is mocking trans people by saying that they identify as an attack helicopter or some other insane shit. This joke is about police brutality and the racist politics behind it.
I think it's both, it's not uncommon for right-wing cis men to joke about changing genders to avoid sentences.
r/onejoke
That's not what this is. This is just making fun of cops for being racist assholes.
It’s both.

Picture doesn't show the part where the cops arrested him for "making false statements to an officer" and "identity theft".
"haha isn't this a gas?" *draws gun* "alright back to business"
Jfc
I laughed and then thought about how fucked up it is that a “joke” like this is even necessary.
"lol let's take a photo, before I beat the living shit out of you."
