“I just acted on instinct and didn’t think about it so much until after we had pinned him down,” Ms. Kellner told Stockholm news site The Local, according to Time. “When I sat there, I looked over at our other two friends who are not police officers and realized that it probably looked pretty funny. But I would have stepped in no matter my outfit.”
Of course, Ms. Kellner is not just your average cop. According to her Instagram page, she’s a power lifter and CrossFit athlete as well as a former contestant on Swedish Ninja Warrior.
So it was far from ordinary when 16 black women put their own spin on the traditional graduation photo, hoisting their fists in the air while posing in their dress uniforms, swords at their sides.
