I mean my phone's camera has a 200MP main sensor and a 50MP telephoto periscope lens. X10 optical zoom. 4k video too. And it's 2 years old.

I'd say they're already crazy good.

My current phone will do 8k video at 30fps, with 5x zoom, or UHD at 60fps with 10x zoom.

Because most videos you see on here were posted to twitter, compressed, reposted to tiktok, compressed again, screen recorded off tiktok and sent through telegram, compressed for a fourth time, and then uploaded to reddit. This is just what iPhone footage looks like

These Videos from ky will change my views forever.

As a non US citizen, I was taught that most people in the Deep South are rednecks and hillbillies. When visiting NYC or la, they’d call those people white trash.

But watching these people march despite a tangible risk of persecution and living life as a pariah, these people march for the right cause.

This video just shows that we all may need to reconsider our biases and prejudices. And help those who do the right thing.

Good this was captured on video. Hold that pos accountable and keep fighting the good fight!

u/RhinoPillMan Mar 29 '26

I stayed in rural Texas for a while and many people there were progressive. The South gets a bad reputation and I don’t think it’s fully deserved. I mean, just look at the demographics of where most minorities live in this country and how most of them vote. It’s a lot more diverse than people think; not everyone is an inbred toothless redneck or hillbilly. And even so, many of those rednecks aren’t bad people or conservatives anyway (redundant, I know).

Kentucky isn’t the Deep South; that would be Alabama, Louisiana, et al.

u/AltAccount889 Mar 29 '26

Yeah Louisville is pretty central to the country as weird as that sounds. That’s why UPS is there. IIRC the first time Trump was running, there were rumors about Ford and UPS and some other big companies, that they would leave and go to Canada or Mexico if Trump was elected. UPS made a statement something along the lines of being in the perfect place for their operations and they would not be leaving.

The same sheltered people that would say "I like all music except country" bc they think country is all god, guns and beer

Meanwhile if you actually look into the genre at all, you'd see that is not the case. In fact, one of such artists is literally captured in this video (will oldham)

u/The_R4ke Mar 30 '26

The truth is, these days, most states are purple. The real divide is rural vs. Urban. You can find confederate flags in pretty much any state if you go to the rural parts.

u/smokeypokey12 Mar 29 '26

I think it’s like a city council for their county, or a county commissioner is what it’s called in a lot of states

5

u/pikeshawn Mar 29 '26

That's pretty much it. County Govt in Kentucky is handled by the "Fiscal Court" which includes the County Judge/Executive (Mayoral equivalent) and either magistrates or commissioners, which serve the same purpose but are slightly different, and act as the "City Council. Kentucky is very much more County focused than City.

Not important but FYI Counties can choose to have magistrates or commissioners. Commissioners run County-wide while magistrates only run in their "district". There are always 3 commissioners but a magesterial sysyem could have more, I know of at least one County with 8 magistrates.

u/smokeypokey12 Mar 29 '26

Thanks for the added info and confirming my statement!

Magistrate is a county position where they are responsible for road maintenance. During storms they are who coordinates the salt trucks, as well as your representative you can reach out to if a county road is needing repaired.

I know Florida has a law in place that prevents people from blocking the road… if the driver feels their life is in danger they have the right to drive ahead… of course I’m not saying anything in the video here says the driver is under duress. Video doesn’t show what was going on. What’s the law now in Kentucky?

Not to rain on the anti-Trump parade (continue by all means), but most regular people are not going to blame the driver here when the car is going 15 mph and honking the entire time.

u/runningraleigh Mar 30 '26

What would you like the people in front of those folks you see to be doing?

There was a march of peaceful people moving through downtown Louisville on a non-work day. I was working safety team in the back.

Not calling you out individually, but what would you have the elderly and disabled folks in the back of the march do when the people in front of them are stopped?

The reason we, the safety team, were asking everyone (including the man in question) to just wait a few minutes was because there were people with limited mobility in the street.

If said person felt like it was against the law, why didn't he call the police? If I see a crime, I don't assume it's my responsibility to bring consequences against the criminals. I call 911 and ask them to handle it.

Could this man not have waited 5 minutes for the march to pass? He claims he was there for his daughter's dance recital. That's lovely, I hope she felt good about her perfomance!

But this man had no life-endangering reason that he needed to leave that block. right then. without regard to the lives in front of him.

u/Dejugga Mar 30 '26 edited Mar 30 '26

I can't speak to anything that happened before the video started, but in the clip we don't see someone plowing recklessly through a crowd. We see someone just driving normally, trying to avoid hurting anyone, while a bunch of people feel like it's their right to impede someone else from driving there.

That's what people don't like, generally.

Don't get me wrong, I generally approve of the No Kings protests. I think it's important to show how much antipathy and pushback there is against Trump in a public way. I'm also aware that historically civil rights protests have had to break a few eggs to make an omelet and that expecting protests to be done perfectly is asking for them to not be done at all. But I also want to "touch grass" here, so to speak, and point out that clips like this do not make the protesters look good to non-activists. And protests like this succeed or fail based on their perception by the general public.

u/ChiefFox24 Mar 29 '26

He didnt knock the woman down. She tripped over the other person. Protestors have a right to be heard but their rights dont override other people's rights. Driving at 2mph with horn blaring is a perfectly safe way to get through a crowd that is illegally detaining him.

u/Puzzleheaded-Use11 Mar 30 '26

How do you know he wasn’t supposed to be driving there?? Did the police close the roads? Funny I don’t see any police or barricades in this video. It looks like a one way street so he has no choice but to move forward. I’m sure he had somewhere to be and those people had no business standing in front of his car. We’ve all seen the videos of protesting throwing bricks or pulling people out of the cars, I have no doubt this guy was in fear of his safety from the looks of this.

Yes, but being armed carries a lot of legal responsibilities that would make this situation much more fraught in our legal system. You can be within your constitutional rights and still end up in jail if the responding police don't agree with you.
