Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

If you attack armored, shielded, armed police with a stick while wearing flip-flops, you're gonna have a bad time.

[–]macarassacre 8 points9 points ago

Correction: pulis.

[–]JUMBO_BEREIKBAAR 12 points13 points ago

The bottle apparently floating in mid air indicates that he is not alone.

[–]Stinky_McRotten 24 points25 points ago

Ooooooohhh, well in that case he's gonna get away scot-free fo 'sho!

[–]ndcrispy 0 points1 point ago

or "scotch"-free

[–]Thepunk28 2 points3 points ago

Are you implying there is a ghost on his side drinking beer behind the police? What happened next?

[–]OperatorMike 0 points1 point ago

That looks like a failed Molotov

[–]Decyde 0 points1 point ago

Don't you love it when people get killed during these things and people always make them out to be the victim. Seriously, stay the fuck at home or accept the risk that you could die.

[–]JUMBO_BEREIKBAAR 13 points14 points ago

[–]mandarambong[S] 7 points8 points ago

Philippine police forces enforcing eviction of squatters in a slum area.

[–]revenantae 18 points19 points ago

Actually, wouldn't the police be the Greeks, as they're the ones with the phalanx? So, the dude in question is demanding a simple offering of earth and water.

[–]Dakayonnano 13 points14 points ago

That's more of a Testudo than a phalanx.

[–]revenantae 2 points3 points ago

I stand corrected, but now the police are Romans..... so our lone dude must be.... Gothic, Gaulish, Sassanid?

[–]duckmurderer 2 points3 points ago

Huns.

[–]the_lamentors_three 1 point2 points ago

Could still be a spartan, the romans invaded greece and whipped the floor with the spartans

[–]lostereadamy 1 point2 points ago

Well, prolly sassanid. Testudo works very well against mounted archers.

[–]thewanderingway 2 points3 points ago

So...mud?

[–]revenantae 2 points3 points ago

No.. you can't MIX them!

[–]TheDoctor_IsIn 5 points6 points ago

that's gotta be the Philippines. no other country I've been to spells police, "pulis" that, and crazy shit always goes down there too

[–]ilco2 3 points4 points ago

One of those shields has a big chunk missing.

[–]NotSoGoodAtPhotoshop 3 points4 points ago

"LEEEROOOOOY JENKIIIIINS!"

[–]Shit_on_your_Chest 0 points1 point ago

OOOOOHHHHH LONG JOHNSON!

[–]fromthebark 3 points4 points ago

Pulis... stop!

[–]neayaa 0 points1 point ago

*stahp

[–]dirtymoney 2 points3 points ago

Using their shields like roman soldiers.

[–]joshykins 2 points3 points ago

Testudo!

[–]Cazmonster 1 point2 points ago

KANEDA!

[–]Mr_manatee 0 points1 point ago

Rebel. Wat r u doin? Rebel. Stahp.

[–]Balthusdire -4 points-3 points ago

Rebel, pulis stahp.

[–]prodah_kiir 0 points1 point ago

Turns out the police are the Spartans.. phalanx bitches!.. an incomplete one though, they are entirely vulnerable at the flanks.

[–]lostereadamy 1 point2 points ago

Testudo, not phalanx

[–]prodah_kiir 0 points1 point ago

You taught me something! Now it seems much more fitting given the protection they have to make use of.

[–]BurnyBurn 1 point2 points ago

Turtle Formation!

[–]gsmith027 0 points1 point ago

Can't you read it says pul not push

[–]TheBelt 1 point2 points ago

Who in the fuck riots in flip flops...

[–]jesusmcpenis 4 points5 points ago

If you were too poor to afford shoes and someone came to kick you out of your 'home', wouldn't you be angry enough to riot without the proper footwear?

[–]spider_cock 1 point2 points ago

Damn straight.

[–]lostpatrol 0 points1 point ago

But if you are fighting back without using tanks, doesn't that make you a terrorist?

[–]tehpatriarch 2 points3 points ago

A fucking amateur, that's who.

[–]Cazmonster 0 points1 point ago

But honestly, what sort of perks are there in professional rioting?

[–]AbyssalJS 0 points1 point ago

More information on where they got the idea to hold their shields like that, for anyone interested:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testudo_formation

[–]sirblastalot 0 points1 point ago

I'm most impressed at whoever managed to knock that big chunk out of the shield in the middle.

[–]Ozymandias12 0 points1 point ago

Did anybody else read "Pulis" in a sassy "Puhleeze" voice?

[–]Laboratory 0 points1 point ago

Note: Tevas are the preferred rioting sandal.

[–]Henry1987 1 point2 points ago

well one shield has seen shit

[–]1337Lulz 2 points3 points ago

Next photo will be a picture of him getting his ass kicked with a caption "Police Attack Protestor!"

[–]riplox -4 points-3 points ago

If he did that here in the US, he'd've been shot before he even managed to raise that stick.

[–]chrisnthat 0 points1 point ago

His left arm looks as though it's on backwards.

[–]ufamizm 0 points1 point ago

took me 5 minutes to figure out what that bottle in the background was doing...

[–]Iowajoe 0 points1 point ago

Why hasn't that guy been shot yet?!

[–]OmegaDestroyer 0 points1 point ago

Because it wasn't in America, where the standard police response is to shoot anything that's a threat.

[–]eggsgrainey -1 points0 points ago

pulis plz stahp

[–]tmotom 1 point2 points ago

pulis wat r u doin. pulis. stahp!

[–]meatwad1987 1 point2 points ago

he's wearing flip flops for crying out loud! just step on his toes

[–]Raspieman 0 points1 point ago

Fuck da pulis!

[–]ifizz 0 points1 point ago

YEAH TIME TO RIOT!!!! Better put on my trusty flip flops...

[–]Numble 0 points1 point ago

"If I can just hit this one spot, their defenses will be shattered!"

[–]jad103 0 points1 point ago

I remember a game by the name of "Rome: Total War" and the old motto was When in doubt, Testudo it out.

[–]Capcake 1 point2 points ago

pulis pls

[–]Cazmonster 0 points1 point ago

That man has balls of solid unobtanium.

[–]whizzard 0 points1 point ago

Fuck da Pulis

[–]brotoes 0 points1 point ago

That shield configuration is more of the style of a Roman legion imo. The Spartans had round shields and created a dome.

[–]DracoSolon 0 points1 point ago

The coolest example of this is in the first 20 minutes of the film The Eagle. The Roman legionaries form testudo to rescue some comrades. Rest of the movie isn't that great but that scene is awesome! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eagle_(2011_film)

[–]Scottush 0 points1 point ago

What an idiot.

[–]mandarambong[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]sean488 0 points1 point ago

Ooh. Some dude with a stick is about to get his ass kicked!

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago
