Sid🇵🇸healthcare workers sat in the street as part of their protests over Kaiser Permanente
And this is how many pigs they sent to harass them (the striking nurses are the innermost circle only)
honorable mention to the fucking local news and that cowardly chyron.
High school civics: you're free to protest for changes you want in your society
The cops: stop resisting
Update: the cops arrested 23 for "civil disobedience"
The Doctor@InternetEh Explains why they never mentioned protest in civics class..
holly hoppet 
@InternetEh this is such a striking image
@hoppet it's always this. Whenever a good and cool thing happens, cops show up and put their dipshit pig fingers into their plate holders and face the cool and good thing
@InternetEh like yeah you're totally right. still this one in particular is a strong study in contrasts
@hoppet it's like they were visually mocking them, with the concentric circles
@InternetEh see i see the concentric circles less as mocking and more as a cowardly show of overwhelming force. like they think some healthcare workers sitting in a circle are going to do something deserving of violence requiring a literal protective formation at a moment's notice.
@InternetEh also since we have multiple interpretations and reactions to this thought provoking image it counts as art
@hoppet pigs doing art, what is this, Disco Elysium
@InternetEh to be perfectly clear, i more meant it is the videographer's art lol
Katie (pen for hire)@InternetEh well its lapd so it's gonna be overkill, always.
As an Angeleno, this is said with as much bitterness and spite as possible

Sammi@InternetEh Yet put a bunch of white nationalists on the street armed to the teeth with guns and you can't find a cop for miles.....
@SamanthaJaneSmith when cops bother with that, their backs are to the Nazis
Quincy Peck@SamanthaJaneSmith @InternetEh the cops are there, just not in their work uniforms.
@quincypeck @InternetEh Absolutely.
Violet Madder@SamanthaJaneSmith @InternetEh For much the same reason you never see Clark Kent and Superman standing in the same room at the same time....

Evelyn@InternetEh @finn (Haven’t had coffee yet, so) at first I thought you meant actual literal porcine swine animals; & now I have disappointment to add to my anger & outrage.
*not that I condone using livestock to harass striking workers, but it would have been much more interesting & probably cuter.
cagey@InternetEh Higher cop:nurse ratio in this pic than the nurse:patient ratio in any hospital in America.

@ColesStreetPothole they all do it
Grumble@InternetEh You want fewer cops oppressing protestors? Stop paying them extra money for responding to nonviolent protests.
Cops run to protests faster than they'd run for free donuts. It's the money.
Wendy Lady@InternetEh all those dangerous healthcare workers. 😒 KP apparently sending in the popo because they gotta make sure these hardened hooligan...checks notes...nurses? know what's what for the sake of capitalism.
RPh is in the garden 🪴 🏳️🌈 ✡️@CuriousRPh if the nurses also had Defense Department surplus, I don't like the cops' chances at all
Ursidinoj/The Bjornsdottirs@InternetEh More cops than picketers. Jesus fucking christ.
LisPi@ellenor2000 @InternetEh Kinda wish the crowd on the left had rushed them off as unwelcome.
That aside, what an atrocious stroad.
@lispi314 @InternetEh Nothing about this picture is holy unto gods or men
C0ppertop@InternetEh can’t be too careful around healthcare workers. They know secret healthcare shit, like vaccines and the like.
Pigs be like, “dangerous duty bruh. Them health care perps, can infect us with stuff. We ain’t safe.”
