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.

not only is the poor bloke (who is only doing his job) on fire, its inside his helmet which means he is breathing in the flames! and his leg is trapped under the bike, IF he survived this his lungs are going to be FUCKED! yet because it is a political RIOT and he is ONLY a policeman the media skim over it and it is seen as ok! (i don't remember seeing this on the news).

I know they are angry at the politicians but the country is effectively bankrupt, rioting is only driving the country further into debt

[–]thebrokendoctor 4 points5 points ago

Apparently he survived with only light burns. He's one lucky bastard,

[–]I_like_boxes 5 points6 points ago

Probably not the same source as I don't see any explanation after, but you can see that he's (mostly) okay in the series of photos on this site.

The people's facial expressions in the background are awesome. A lot of them have a "holy shit who the fuck did that?" look.

Apparently the cop came out of it alright...

Looks they caught the culprit in the picture. 2 o'clock from the bottom most guy on the left. Dude in the baseball cap is in the midst of a pitching follow through.

This was posted months back, but that bike cop ran into/over a protester before being hit with that molotov cocktail.

video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKxQtGbaat8

Most videos show him only being hit with the firebomb and not what lead to it.

[–]cpnHindsight 8 points9 points ago

There were two bikes. First one rode alone and hit the protester. Second had a passenger, wiped out and was the one to take a molotov in the face. The injured policeman did not hit protestors in this video.

thanks for pointing that out, even after watching it, it's difficult to see.

Yea this is from an album on one of the first rounds of the greek riots

[–]gruftwerk 1 point2 points ago

It's a pretty crazy picture. This is a police officer, who is supposed to protect a civilian citizen from harm. However, that civilian citizen is the one who causes harm in a tremendous amount of emotion.

It's really like a wave colliding into a wave.

You know, it's a great picture to give people an idea on what's happing in Greece these day. But the fact, that you needed to make a joke in the title, when it is clear that someone is really getting hurt in the picture, just shows a lack of empathy on your side. Downvoted.

I think "unfortunate" is an understatement.

I love all the cowards who toss molotovs and riot thinking they're anarchists or fighting a just cause, but are total pussies when someone actually gets hurt. Hope you see that man's burning face in your dreams every time you go to bed.

Note: There's a right way to protest. This isn't it. And don't go talking about Libya or Egypt because this isn't that. This is Greece. Cops aren't killing them.
