Of course not. It’s racist for the police to encourage blacks to save their own lives when the more blacks die the more whites are to blame. From the New York Times news section:
Scrutiny of Social-Distance Policing as 35 of 40 Arrested Are Black
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the police had enforced rules properly, but other officials expressed concern about tactics similar to unfair “stop and frisk” practices.By Ashley Southall
Published May 7, 2020… The arrests of black and Hispanic residents, several of them filmed and posted online, occurred on the same balmy days that other photographs circulated showing police officers handing out masks to mostly white visitors at parks in Lower Manhattan, Williamsburg and Long Island City. Video captured crowds of sunbathers, many without masks, sitting close together at a park on a Manhattan pier, uninterrupted by the police.
Just look at those telephoto shots!
On Thursday night, the Brooklyn district attorney’s office became the first prosecutor in the city to release statistics on social-distancing enforcement. In the borough, the police arrested 40 people for social-distancing violations from March 17 through May 4, the district attorney’s office said.
Of those arrested, 35 people were black, four were Hispanic and one was white.
More than a third of the arrests were made in the predominantly black neighborhood of Brownsville. No arrests were made in the more white Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has long denounced the unconstitutional “stop and frisk” practices of the Bloomberg administration, has found himself in recent days forced to explain why enforcement of social distancing in predominantly minority neighborhoods is different than “stop and frisk.”
At a news conference on Thursday, Mr. de Blasio called the comparison false, saying that the two approaches had nothing in common.
“What happened with stop and frisk was a systematic, oppressive, unconstitutional strategy that created a new problem much bigger than anything it purported to solve,” he said. “This is the farthest thing from that. This is addressing a pandemic. This is addressing the fact that lives are in danger all the time. By definition, our police department needs to be a part of that because safety is what they do.”
After this story was published on Thursday night, Mr. de Blasio cited it on Twitter, describing summonses and arrests as a tool for “saving lives.” But he added: “The disparity in the numbers does NOT reflect our values. We HAVE TO do better and we WILL.”
It’s almost as if African-Americans tend to be gregarious and thus at risk.
40 people in all of NYC over a period of a month and a half? Wow, it’s almost like we’re back on the plantation.
No. They can congregate all they want so long as they stay away from whites.
We do tell Whites they need more suntan lotion than other groups. We don’t ticket them, just remind them. I suppose we can talk openly about the special risks Blacks face. But anything that suggests Blacks need targeted prodding to do the right thing, well, that’s smacks of the same mentality that gave us Jim Crow laws.
This is not an honest attempt to fix an injustice it’s simple who-whom politics.
The outgroup is always bad.
Study this method
This is one area where all-black gatherings should be ignored. Let them thin their own herd in peace.
They prefer to thin their herd with a bang.
The Police union in NYC wants the cops to stop enforcing social distancing.
There was an infamous case in which a black guy took a fighting stance against an NYPD Hispanic cop, and the cop landed a preemptive strike that hospitalized the black guy. This particular Hispanic cop clearly violated NYPD procedures, and has already cost the city over $200,000 in settlements.
The Police Union says that NYC is making the cops enforce social distancing, and then throwing the cops under the bus when it gets messy. Their solution is for the cops to ignore social distancing.
The Union solution would probably be less risky for cops in terms of their career, as well as their health. But social distancing would not be enforced.
One possibility is that certain groups are more likely to accept a warning from the cops instead of defying the order and getting ticketed and arrested.
The Police Union says that [insert government] is making the cops enforce [insert law], and then throwing the cops under the bus when it gets messy. Their solution is for the cops to ignore [insert law].
The usual "law and order" and "dats raciss" critiques don't really fit this entirely unusual situation, in which people are ordered not to carry out daily and ordinary elements of life which in the absence of a legitimate medical emergency would rank with the worst and most restrictive authoritarian evils in history. On the one hand if it's a true medical emergency risking the lives of millions, it may regrettably be necessary to thoroughly enforce the social distancing orders with significant force to abate the violations. On the other hand, the orders create a totally unnatural and inhumane situation over any significant duration against which even well-meaning people will cheat leading to total disobedience.
We're clearly at the limits of tolerance for many people, often exacerbated by the financial carnage of the shut downs. It's an extended Stay-cation for the government and media classes, but not for most others.
The utility of the enforcement orders has to be weighed against their negative collateral effects and some more creative trade-offs devised, accepting that there will be greater spread of the virus than there would be with an indefinitely extended lockdown.
The all-caps delivery is a nice Boomer-totalitarian touch. It’s as though my 65-year-old brother-in-law suddenly morphed into an African strongman.
The hypocrisy and inane contradictions are endless. According to the master class it’s absolutely imperative that everyone stay indoors for the continuation of our species; every totalitarian measure is acceptable… but when the pets get slightly out of hand, we’re now living in a total jack-booted police state!
As usual, I guess it’s a case of the media using any aspect and angle of the situation to serve the furtherance of the narrative.
In Detroit the media was covering all the house parties and side shows trying to shame the city residents, in conjunction with the state health department running ads targeted at blacks reminding them they could kill grandma with the virus.
However, the governor appointed the black lt governor in charge of a reparations commission for the virus being racist, and he proclaimed the media coverage was racist so there is a media spike on those stories, now.
The blacks who get ticketed will be the young, the blacks who die will be the aged. The young will be alive for 40+ years harboring a Lot of Resentment Towards the White Cops who Ticketed Them.
So in the long run…not ticketing blacks will be more beneficial to race relations.
While I’d hate to see a real crackdown on “social distancing” violations, it might be worth it just for the fun of seeing rich white liberals’ heads explode from the cognitive dissonance of siccing police on (disproportionately) black people trying to live their lives.
Here in Maryland, Baltimore’s annual homicides (adjusted for population) are about twice the projected number of C-19 deaths. Nobody (to my knowledge) ever proposed a “stay at home” order or similar lockdown for the city, or even just the most dangerous neighborhoods, and you can imagine the brouhaha if someone had done so. Whether this means we care more about poor black people, or less, I’m not sure.
That’s the good thing about cell phone cameras – no telephoto lens trickery. What people do need to learn about them is HOLD THE DAMN THINGS SIDEWAYS! My Momma was doing that with a Kodak Brownie well before you people were born. What is so hard about that concept?
“Of course not. It’s racist for the police to encourage blacks to save their own lives when the more blacks die the more whites are to blame.”
Actually, they should be prosecuted. But never white female mayors of a Texas town who are named Becky. For those keeping score at home, she is at the top of the heap when it comes to Pokemon Intersectional points.

Blacks can't be guilty of hypocrisy, as the charge presumes they meet the minimum levels of intelligence and self-control to understand and obey concepts like quarantines.Replies: @Corvinus
If blacks or anyone want to congregate and risk catching the virus they should be free to do so. But I get that if this happens any disparity in infection will be blamed on racism. But clearly also any attempt at enforcing lockdown dispassionately will look like racism since blacks disproportionately ignore lockdown directives. So damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Given that, you might as well err on side of freedom (plus added Darwinian benefit of the most foolhardy people getting culled from the herd).

Under “Projet Room Key” California has contracted with hotels and motels to provide 13,000 rooms for the state’s “Unhoused.” The rooms, in some cases, include some meals and limited house keeping. Yesterday it was report that the San Francisco Department of Public Health is also providing “on a limited basis” and for “medicinal purposes”, “tobacco, alcohol and weed.” Smoking in your room , don’t see any problem with that. The SFDPH says the funding is from a private source, not the taxpayers. And remember, if an “unhoused” person has a SS number or a tax filing they got $1200. Add this to the heading, “You can’t make this shit up.” Information was from the San Francisco Chronicle online,.. SF Gate.

Steve- just an FYI, I am pretty sure that Obama’s skin-crawlingly-saccharine “that’s not who we are” catchphrase was not actually of his own coinage, that in fact he was trolling Republicans by repurposing Dubya’s goto-response whenever reporters cornered him about the US using methods amounting to torture in the War on Terror.

Should they also get reparations from all the republicans refusing common courtesy social distancing? Viruses don’t just spread themselves. Makes sense that we should punish the spreaders, and more severely punish those spreading it the most. Maybe we should also allow citizens to sue each other for spreading it around, too.
Republicans less likely to support social distancing, mask wearing, etc.

Hey, Blacks happen to be right on this one. I say we give them the round of applause they deserve.
I mean, I’m sure that most of the fellas who were arrested were doing more than just hanging out in a normal 2019 civilized fashion, but implying that gregariousness is improper is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Gregariousness is more proper than ever before.
Jewish Tradition has it that doing even the smallest mitzvah at a time when that mitzvah is under attack by a tyrannical regime is greater than doing even the greatest mitzvah during a time when everyone else is doing it too.
I would suggest that Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself is under terrific societal attack now by the religion of Safespacism and that being friendly to strangers and friends on the street and greeting them with a friendly, unmasked, mien is the mitzvah of the day. (Pirkei Avot 1:15)
##################
I used to refer to the obviously BS certitudes and rules regarding The Covid Crisis as the religion of Quarantinism. I now believe that it is more accurate and historically grounded to refer to it as Safespacism.
That’s a true idealistic religion and has a lot of explanatory power. And naming it helps to weaken it. It pulls back the curtain on the dumbass beliefs of its promoters and practitioners while aknowledging the legitimacy of its motivations.
Q: “Why aren’t you wearing a mask?”
A: “I’m not a Safespacist.”
Q: “Oh, cool. I think non-Safespacists can go to Heaven too. Have a pleasant day sir!”

That would be racist to ticket them. Not to mention it is profiling. So alas they must forged their way thru the plague on their own. Now is that racist or not? Oh the twisted world the liberals have weaved.

Why was it infamous, and what procedure did the cop violate? If the black guy took a fighting stance toward a cop, the cop should hit him and arrest him. That is the correct procedure when people physically resist a cop on the street. If NYPD has a different procedure, they are fools.

The cops will ignore failures to socially distance regardless of stated policy if they’re going to be raked over the coals for all of the inevitable friction that results from enforcing an order contrary to the social nature of man no matter how medically necessary.

Anyone who’s ever spent time around blacks knows that they reflexively refuse to follow rules, particularly rules made up by White people.
It’s going to be a fun summer.

Interesting black statistics from my state. We list all cases by race, and crunching this number with the percent of blacks in the state indicates that 6% of all blacks in my state have tested positive for Covid-19. If each infected black person gives it to an average of 4 other blacks in their community in the next month, that would be 24% more blacks infected by early June. So by early June, a full 30% of all blacks in my state would have Covid. If that 24% gives it to an average of 4 more black people in the month after that, that means basically 100% of all blacks in my state will have had it by early July.
So if the most infectious community doesn’t social distance, they’ll be over it by mid-July or so. Even if you cut the infection rate to 2 instead of 4 people, that still means over 40% of all blacks would have had it by early July.
Mind you, this number of positives only counts those who felt sick enough to want to be tested. If half the people with Covid have no symptoms, the current infected rate among all blacks in my state is 12%. That would double the rate of spread above.
If you want to be free live on the streets. It’s a good way to lose those extra pounds. But don’t worry about Tee-Hee; he remains pampered and smug in plague-ravaged NYC.

And they are fat.
The only blacks that should be targeted for ticketing are the ones obviously at great risk, that is the ones who are so super-obese that they are colossal in size, barely able to shuffle around, breathing heavy. Since only about half of them are gigantically fat then only that half should be encouraged to be careful for their own sake.

What’s cheaper? 3 weeks of medical bills, or 20 years of welfare? Medicaid/Medicare have caps on what they’ll pay a hospital. If they’re capping it at around 40K per 2-3 weeks of hospital stay, 1 dead black who could have lived for the next 20 years on white-paid welfare is a lot more expensive. 1 adult black in a big city gets at least 40K in benefits every year. Secondly, not all blacks who die of Covid are going to the hospital. They’re dying at home. That saves money.
Let ’em mingle. Weeds out the parasites. What’s more, it’s the older blacks who are most knowledgeable at working/conning the system. We don’t need them.
How? By having us (1) notice that even though many blacks aren’t following even the most rudimentary distancing or precautionary measures they’re still NOT dropping like flies?
That’ll show us!

It is so racist to expect that blacks will behave in a socially acceptable way that can benefit them too. Lawlessness, stupidity, violence, ignorance and anti-social behavior are all part of their lovely culture.

I don't think those black guys should have been arrested to begin with, but if the mayor chick is arresting other people for doing what she did, she should be arrested too.

OT: About the 2 guys shooting that black jogger. Here’s an interesting bit of info from the DA, George Barnhill. He relates that the dead black man has a criminal history, as did his family. “There is a decent cell phone video of the entire shooting incident, also video of Arbery burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation.”

Interesting study from UCL:

It seems that Irish people in England have half the risk of dying from covid19 compared to the English (adjusted for age and region).
Africans had over 3x the risk and Indians 2x, but I am guessing that SES will play big part in this, as well as vitamin D.
The Irish are not very different to “white British” in SES, and the skin tone difference between the English and Irish is pretty subtle. But maybe this it the revenge of the pale gingers.
There are some who think double standards are bad regardless of who is favored or disfavored. Others just want to make sure a particular group is on top.
Thus, for instance, you have some who just don’t understand the notion that you could “discriminate” against whites and in favor of blacks. It seems like an oxymoron to them.
I don’t think the NYPD is doing anything wrong here, they can’t do anything about some moron in Texas, but for a lot of the commenters here, I do sense a lack of consistency. For instance, how many of the commenters here who are raging against the lockdown, that’s it’s a violation of “muh freedom,” were opposed to drug prohibition? I support drug prohibition, but I don’t take the radical libertarian stuff seriously.
No, it won’t. They are not people who feel the need to have the security of a roof over their heads. It’s a trivial thing to them. All the fun and action is on the street for them, so that’s where they go and stay. If a good, solid roof was important to them, that’s what they’d work for.
They’ll be urinating on the carpet in those hotels and smashing the lamps, setting the bedspreads on fire and ripping the mattresses apart. The hotels better charge the city a big fee for damage.

It’s the same in several parts of Europe: Police, who barely have a grip in good times, have taken to rigourous enforcement of social distancing and “stay at home” orders among groups who in ordinary times while essentially giving up on enforcement on ethnic groups that fight back. They’ll be screwed if the sheep start to get restless … that may be why they are nervously re-opening. Well, that and too many desperate parents want to get the kids back in school and out of the house.

Two statistics we need to see:
1) The number of instances of people basically losing all sense of rationality. I think psychs call it walking schizoprenia. Broken down by race would be nice. Of course with blacks you would have to specify the base rate before COVID19.
2) The number of instances of blacks insistence, because racism, on infringing on whites’ personal spaces and basically threatening them with potentially lethal disease.
3) Whether or not blacks in general wash their hands more frequently, because it’s smart, or less frequently, because whites said so.

Have you seen the video (posted by someone here recently) of the 2 black cops in the Chicago subway shooting a white guy in the back as he was running away from them up an escalator?
Why wasn’t that a front page story? They had pulled him off the subway for breaking the very, very serious law of moving from one car to another on a subway train. I never knew that was a crime.
I haven’t heard a peep about that one since the iSteve post. But it made my skin crawl watching the video of it. I guess “black cops shoot white guy running away” isn’t part of the narrative we’re supposed to see.
There are often other facts, and it's too early to say definitively, but it certainly seems as if those two white guys should be tried for murder. Of course, there are any number of rapes and murders of whites committed by blacks that don't make national news.

Brilliant people have said many ignorant and hubristic things recently.
For example, Greg Cochran and Nassim Taleb, both of whom I previously considered bright, are acting as if they have a superior level of prophetic knowledge, rather than just the rational intelligence and mild mathematical skills they previously claimed to have. And those are just two of many in the Anglo-speaking world, you would not believe how many there are in other countries in other languages.
Sad!
I understand that many people are making fools of themselves these days, all I am saying is maybe we should spend more time mocking the contingent that thinks most highly of themselves, rather than the contingent of ordinary people that have devoted their ordinary work-lives to dealing with ordinary people under the current regime of right-think.
Agree or disagree, but please think about it, anyway

mediocreordinary is sacred and we can't have "rule by experts."Replies: @Stephen DodgeWhen this is all over, the conservative blondes with liberal arts degrees –MacDonald, Coulter and Ingraham – may have got the lockdown argument much more right than a lot of guys with toney STEM degrees.
Some numbers:
Mickey Kaus cites an NBER paper that estimates that the California lockdown cost 400 jobs per life saved. Okay, all estimates are imperfect and must be qualified, but these are serious guys, so start with this conclusion.
The U.S. economy generates $21.3 trillion in GDP with about 159 million employees.
Assume a lost job cost 70% of $21.3 trillion/159 million, that’s $94,000 a year.
A job lost for one month cost nearly $8,000 in lost output.
400 jobs lost for a month costs $3.15 million in lost output.
That is a substantial portion of the $8-10 million that Federal regulatory agencies now use for the value of a human life in pushing regulations.
But that $8-10 million is for an average life.
The lockdown’s benefits are concentrated among the elderly and unhealthy.
Government agencies use about $130,000 a year for the extension of life.
If, as has been estimated, lockdowns and other measures save 10 years of life, we are at $1.3 million in benefits, about half of costs.
If lockdowns generally extend the life of 80-somethings, as is the case in Italy and Minnesota, we are reaping benefits of perhaps $600,000-$700,000 for $3+ million in costs.
Now take another look at the cost side. Extend the lockdowns for a total of three months, and we are at about $10 million, several times any plausible benefits.
And look at the worst case, which is now being discussed by economists and financial analysts. The increase in unemployment takes ten years to be offset, as did the increase after the financial crisis. My estimates put those 400 lost jobs costing more than $200 million over that decade.
A good portion of that $200 million would otherwise have been spent on keeping Americans alive.
And we are not counting deaths in the second and third world from first-world crash.
So if the most infectious community doesn't social distance, they'll be over it by mid-July or so. Even if you cut the infection rate to 2 instead of 4 people, that still means over 40% of all blacks would have had it by early July.
Mind you, this number of positives only counts those who felt sick enough to want to be tested. If half the people with Covid have no symptoms, the current infected rate among all blacks in my state is 12%. That would double the rate of spread above.Replies: @Stunned Billionaire
In the U.S., the first wave of the Spanish Flu was less deadly in 1918. The highest death toll was among those who got infected during the second wave, in autumn. If that pattern repeats with the coronavirus, this high rate of early infection might paradoxically benefit blacks in your state, overall – although it will certainly remain a tragedy for many individuals within the group.
Blacks had a lower death rate than whites during the fall of 1918, and one theory “was that black people were more exposed to a mild spring/summer wave of influenza earlier that same year. ”

That is to the credit of the millions, in which I include Cochran and Taleb (both of whom have been mentioned hundreds of times on this website, I think – these are not obscure guys).
Taleb, or at least some of his minions, correctly called for a shutdown on international flights weeks before it happened. I don’t remember what Cochran recommended back then, but whatever he recommended, it was probably a good recommendation. That is to their credit.
But they have been foolishly overconfident lately, and their sputtering when challenged is amusing, although it would be dangerous if they were in positions of responsibility.

Slamming somebody’s head into a concrete floor can kill them, or completely f**k them up for life. It is, potentially, deadly force. They have something to administer deadly force – it’s called a gun.
Cops are given far to much liberty in this country.
Why wasn’t that a front page story? They had pulled him off the subway for breaking the very, very serious law of moving from one car to another on a subway train. I never knew that was a crime.
I haven’t heard a peep about that one since the iSteve post. But it made my skin crawl watching the video of it. I guess “black cops shoot white guy running away” isn’t part of the narrative we’re supposed to see.Replies: @Mr. Anon
I’ve noticed that the Dems have their racial outrage for the upcoming election primed and ready in that murder in Georgia.
There are often other facts, and it’s too early to say definitively, but it certainly seems as if those two white guys should be tried for murder. Of course, there are any number of rapes and murders of whites committed by blacks that don’t make national news.

Just wait for a while and see what else is revealed. We've seen stories like this before, and in time the facts demolished the Narrative. This is a perfect story for an election year. Too perfect, in fact. Although I'm sure NBC for one will edit any 911 dispatch audio in order to spread lies, just as they did in the Trayvon case.

Indeed, and a lawbreaker to boot.

I would tend to agree with the people who think that Pence doesn’t wear be a mask because Trump doesn’t want him to. I have to wonder if Katy Miller could have been worn a mask without getting into trouble.
But I certainly agree be with you that they should wear masks. Trump should too.

Why is body-slamming - slamming somebody's head into concrete from a height of 4-6 feet - even considered an appropriate use of force?

Won’t be long before all cops have to be black, so they can actually enforce the law here and there without it turning into a federal case.
Of course, if you’ve much experience with black cops you’ll know that this is an “out of the frying pan” kind of deal, but that’s par for the course in the Current Year.

Words You Won’t Believe Have Been Turned Into Baby NamesReassuringly, these names did not reach double digits in 2018; some had only five, the minimum before SSA will mention a name at all. This post came out on St George's Day. For comparison, George was given to 3,059 boys in 2018, ranking #127. (It's been on a slow rise since the birth of the Prince.)The Bump reported on this with the picture below. The story is by one Nehal Aggarwal. Nehal is a unisex name.

These Common Words Have Surprisingly Turned Into Baby NamesReplies: @Joe Stalin, @Buffalo Joe, @Anonymous
I’ve tried planting unusual but not freakish or rebarbative names in the heads of the blacks I have to work with.
Like antique radio manufacturers, Philco, Atwater (Kent), Detrola. I mean that beats Shitavious or LaQueefisha by a lot.
Or hot rod parts manufacturers. Potvin, Cragar, Ardun. I’d say Thickstun, but there’s a novel in which the protagonist calls his penis “Thickstun Moore”.
That beats Bill Lear’s naming a girl “Shanda”. Shanda Lear, get it? I’ve met her, she actually exists.
The Lady in Waiting at this year’s St Pat’s parade in Woodbridge, NJ (held on the 8th, and thus held) was a Sinatra. And not the first– her sister had been a few years earlier.
Those suffixes are ridiculous. The only excuse for having one on the uniform is if daddy is also playing, Earnhardt-style.
News stories should only include them with the full name, on first reference. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen “Jones III was then placed under arrest…” or the like.
The stylebooks are so political now that no one reads them anymore, even the parts they still should.

Am I missing something? Please tell me if I am. Maybe there's no reason the cameras on these cell phones have to capture data this way. I'd guess it depends on the imaging chip behind the lens.

Blacks seem disproportionately to wear masks haphazardly, often in a way that the mask just barely covers the mouth, leaving the nose uncovered and protruding above it.
Fatality is not same as infection rate. Higher black Fatality could also be due to blacks having more underlying high risk factors like obesity, diabetes etc. Anyway, regardless of who dies more, if a certain group is found to have high infection / carrying / spreading rates, that’s enough to advocate and enforce social distancing + masks, yes?
Because of the big aspect ratio (2 to 1 almost), people take video and pictures, such as the infamous Brunswick, GA scene, shown as narrow slivers. Why not hold them with the lens to the right or left, which will capture images with more width to them, thereby playing back on our phones (for the most part) as a scenic view.

It seems that Irish people in England have half the risk of dying from covid19 compared to the English (adjusted for age and region).Africans had over 3x the risk and Indians 2x, but I am guessing that SES will play big part in this, as well as vitamin D.
The Irish are not very different to "white British" in SES, and the skin tone difference between the English and Irish is pretty subtle. But maybe this it the revenge of the pale gingers.Replies: @Meretricious

I would guess it’s easier to keep control of your cell phone while holding it vertically while moving to photograph the homies. Perhaps the video camera designers could design a sensor with enough resolution to accommodate a wide angle view while the cell phone is being held vertically. They could include a prominent screen button marked “Urban Mayhem” that would display the AEN desired aspect ration being recorded.
This is for you and Res, both: I never did like touch screens, as there is just no room to hold them properly. You touch one little part of it, and something changes, and you don't know what the hell happened or how to back out of it!

That was my understanding. The phone screen is the viewfinder and is held in portrait mode by default therefore that is how the picture is taken. Imagine what a landscape viewfinder squashed into a portrait mode screen would look like.
It is easy enough to turn the phone sideways. Only most people don’t think to do it.
Haha, on the “Urban Mayhem” app, Joe! I would think those imaging chips are cheap enough that the phone could waste some of the resolution (i.e. waste some of those millions of pixels) by using a rectangle with the same aspect ratio of most cameras if the thing happens to be held vertically (i.e. using a smaller rectangular part of the chip for imaging, with the long direction horizontal). Then, it could be displayed correctly later on that and other people’s phones. That is, if you mashed the AEN button first, yes.

In simple form:
The accelerometer in a smartphone is used to determine physical orientation of the phone. There's only upright or sideways, there's not a 45-degree option. The phone orientation is used to address the pixels in the imager, the imager does not rotate. Portrait or landscape therefore depends on the accelerometer plus the imager software.
Then, it could be displayed correctly later on that and other people’s phones. That is, if you mashed the AEN button first, yes.
There are groups that hack on phone OS's, you could suggest this and see what the response is.
