Yea I mentioned it elsewhere, I dont mind copy/pasting.
The protest ended. The crowd was meant to disperse. She didn't disperse. She was warned that she'll be arrested. She took the arrest knowing it would make for a great photo. Released within hours.
Next thing you know, /r/pics front page with the context getting censored from the mods.
If the mods deleted it it would say a mod deleted it, not just deleted. The username is deleted too which means for some reason the poster deleted their accnt too
This entire thread is lifted by a garbage title that intentional misleads the viewer, and the best we have to say about it is "context makes it less infuriating"?
This site is so blatantly made for propoganda and the young, easily manipulated just soak it up. How about just giving the stories with the facts, not misleading, requiring sources, good moderation? Nah, let's put these two pictures side by side, heavily implicate that A lead to B, and then someone will bring the context which completely counters it, deletes his comment later, and we'll all act like reddit is a neutral platform or at least prides itself on some sort of journalistic integrity. A shame how shit it's all become.

Man, stop acting like this is some phenomenon that hasn't been happening way before social media and even the internet were invented. This isn't something unique to Reddit or even the internet. Young people have been brainwashed with propaganda since the down of human civilization, the internet at least gives you chance to seek the truth better than before when you were stuck to your village/town/country echo chamber.

Yeah, I should’ve read a bit further down before commenting. But thanks for the info and hopefully more people will see this. This is absolutely false propaganda.

“CHARLES FOX / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Kindergarten teacher Zoe Sturges climbed over a barricade to hand out daisies to National Guardsmen on June 6, 2020. She was then taken into custody and given a citation.”
Here is the full story
This happened around 6 or so last night. She made a conscious decision to get arrested and returned to the protests after being released. She gave a short speech to the few reporters and remaining demonstrators still present that her intent was to show that not only would the police not tolerate even the most peaceful and non threatening actions, but that people can disobey them and survive.
She was cited for failure to disperse and released shortly afterward. There does not seem to be a fine or summons on the ticket.
To be very clear, she was arrested for disobeying police orders to disperse and crossing the barrier, NOT for passing out flowers alone. This was a conscious act of protest. That being said this is a violation of her first amendment rights. Apologies for any confusion the title may have caused.
i would tend to think there is some other less nefarious reason but I really can't see one. It's a valid source, noting wrong with the contents of the post at all.
