MODERATORS
They appear to have been arrested, traveling in a U-haul.
Interesting. The article ends by saying there were no arrests.
Ah, maybe the police were stopping them to pick up their coworkers from out of the van so that they could start their shift.
So the story gets a happy ending... and I'm guessing so will his cellmate.
...probably just relocating them to the department so they can change back into their cop uniforms.
Some of those who work forces...
I won't believe this story has a happy ending until they're in prison. Because I have a feeling they're about to get a huge amount of help from the incoming administration.
That will depend on whether they face state or federal charges. I’m curious if they will be charged at all if the only thing they did was “protest”.
It will depend a lot more on whether or not the fascist dictatorship coming into office in January gives a shit about state charges being out of their legal jurisdiction.
I'm betting on not.
Yeah, people are basically sticking their heads in the dirt with what’s about to happen in the US.
Source: I live in Ohio and the apathy is palpable. I’m in a Blue bubble, but I even when I go to some small town you can tell everyone is just too burnout from the freight train of nonstop crazy politics stuff.
People really want to believe Trump won't be a fascist dictator despite coming right out and saying he will be. I know he lies all the time, but that's a stupid reason not to believe him on this one.
I don't think Trump will bail them out. It doesn't benefit him to do so.
Sure it does. They can join his SS.
Prison for 1.5 months until pardoned?
What, just because of every single thing they've said or done?
Wasn't that a previous Nazi rally? Or did it happen again?
Reddit is not a reliable source for verified facts in any way, at any time, at all.
I can nearly swear I remember this photo from the last trump administration.
Ah, I forgot to consult the internet's most reliable source for verified facts: random dude who sears he remembers somethings.
Given the details of the post with multiple photos, it's plausible reddit's the source of the image. I wasn't able to find an older posting of it, but by all means share your link from 4+ years ago if you've got t.
They're not entirely wrong though. Remember how Reddit "caught" the Boston marathon bomber?
I think they *are *entirely wrong though. This thread's about Nazis in Columbus and whether they were caught. I don't think "I remember this from years ago, trust me bro" is a convincing reason to dismiss the photos. Neither is their having been posted in reddit, even if they fucked up an unrelated thing over a decade ago.
Again, I'm happy to be disproven. If the image above was actually circulating years ago, it should be relatively easy to find it posted somewhere else prior to yesterday. I couldn't find it, hence why I commented about it in the first place
I'm just addressing the fact that Reddit isn't always correct and we should want more credible sources than random people submitting things online with no vetting. That's where they aren't entirely wrong. I'm not saying they're right and their memory is a reason to believe this is incorrect, but they're just some person online just like the Reddit user.
yeah thats all fair
I checked tineye and it didn't find any other copies of this image. Says it was posted to imgur yesterday.

It legitimately looks like the cop on the left is giving that guy tips for next time.
