For me -- in private browsing mode, although I think Youtube still does some personalization even through that -- 8 of the top 9 videos are about the incident. (The other video is the latest episode of Acorn to Arabella, which I'm a fan of BTW.)

It's about the first ten results for me, then a song by Akon.

Can the next big national protests involve throwing acorns at cops?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Be the change

Never going to live it down.

Which is how it should be. This needs to haunt that man for the rest of his life.

I am saddened that his triple barrel roll on the ground before he shot hasn't gotten more attention. It was the most ridiculous part of it all.

"I'm hit!" *triple barrel rolls*

It's like a kid playing cops and robbers

Also, let's not forget:

"It hit my vest." and "I feel weird" . I think that's called angina.

The glorious, and very tacticool, holo-sights on his sidearm and he still (thankfully) managed to miss the guy he was aiming for.

scrat is ungovernable but it's just because whenever he tries to do anything involving acorns the fucking world explodes

It's common knowledge that Scrat's acorn is an Object of Power

I love how the source meme is probably the first high quality tier 4 meme in a long time. So much goes into understanding it.

spoiler

For those that havent seen the term, Tiered memes require knowledge of an earlier meme, the higher the tier the more memes go into it. In this case

1.scrat from ice age 2.the American police being trained to be afraid of everything 3.taylor Swifts jet 4.the actual event of the shooting

In this meme though we're referencing the Become Ungovernable, instead of Taylor swifts jet.

I love the internet meme makers. Long live the OC

Where is the Taylor Swift reference in this meme?

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

We swapped the Taylor swift for Become Ungovernable, the original meme (linked in OP) has the nut falling from her jet

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

She flew him up to that branch in her jet
