    It’s even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.

    I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.

      It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.

      They have no sympathy or empathy. They want to see PoC crying in chains as they are led off by white officers. To them, that means the system is working.
