  1. last pic, the most peaceful turkish police intervention btw

  2. don’t be scared. it’s just us, the people.

  3. Who thought the fall of democracy in the world would be directed by Villeneuve.

  4. You know you’re in the right when you’re attacking a harmless standing protester with his arms crossed. /s

  5. If this had been in artwork for a 90s tabletop rpg I would’ve found it a bit over the top.

  6. What I’ve never understood about this stuff is that there has to be some of the police that are against this or have family who are against this. Why don’t they walk off the job or not arrest people? I don’t get why they are all sheep

  7. Those pictures deserve Hasselblad Award. Amazing shots.

  8. Don’t be fooled by their uniforms. These are not the police that protect people, they are Tayyip’s mercenaries. Soulless, worthless, pieces of shit. In Turkey, if you cannot become anything else, you join the police force. They are the lowest level in terms of skills, intelligence, academic aptitude etc.

  9. Unfortunately police forces in general seem to attract people with abusive tendencies of the lowest kind. Even when there is a screening process to weed them out it cannot be too selective, taking in consideration there are hardly enough candidates to begin with. So they sneak in and just await the right circumstances “to shine”.

    And I would assume in places where oppression and abuse are actually supposed to be a feature rather than a fault, the screening process could even be reversed in favor of such individuals…

  10. Third photo goes hard, that’s some cyberpunk shit right there.

  11. That fez is so cool. These photos are amazing all around. Terrifying but beautiful, the resounding and undying human spirit.

  12. I’m hoping he’ll step up his game and become the Turkish version of German Mud Wizard
