@FenityHD The woman we see in the last shot is actually a transgender person, and she is being detained solely based on that... During the first part we see a man instead, which is why we don't understand what is going on, because they wouldn't detain a regular person

@asileenak Creo que el mensaje es este: La persona que en verdad han detenido es travesti (quien sale en la ultima toma), pero al principio ponen a un hombre (por eso que uno no entiende por que lo estan deteniendo) para crear un contraste.

@JenniNoji Yes, all over the world. :(

I thought it was about shoes when they showed the camera inside the police car. Great video.

Does this shit really happen?

@erikasxoxo @erikasxoxo The police intepreted her as refusing to act like a man..the same as them..saying that this jogging guy Could...be intepreted as a sex solicitor...it does show you how interpretation works..how it gets skewed or how things really are in the minds of others..naiive realism..we don't all see things the same way...This is a violation of human rights from where I'm sitting...but if there were a standard for human treatment..then this wouldn't be happening in the 2nd place.

I wish they did a video like this in english or at least added subtitles, I assumed it was going to be a funny commercial because they would go along the lines of if women cannot run shirtless why should men but that last shot of the transwoman made my jaw drop...

At first I thought it was a comment on Az Senate Bill 1070.

@asileenak yo tampoco..., pero la respuesta que da erikasoxo arriba lo clara, dice algo como:

la mujer que se muestra en al última toma es un transexual, y es retenida solamente por eso... durante la primera parte, se muestra un hombre corriente en su lugar, y es ese absurdo lo que se quiere mostrar: en condiciones normales, no habría porqué retener a un hombre corriente, mientras que se considera normal que a un transexual, solo por serlo, si.

questo video è un capolavoro.

Sucks! That it really happens!
