Motherboard's Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai got the conversation going by tweeting, "This has to be the most hilariously dystopian picture of the year."

A lot of people noticed the Casio watch worn by someone who appears to be a reporter. Such watches were hot techie fashion in the 1980's, made famous by Marty McFly in the 1985 movie "Back to the Future."
Then there was the Congressional staffer in the early '00's version of high-tech chic: wearing Google glass.
While Mr. Casio Watch is filming the scene, a woman next to him, with a pink phone and pink selfie stick is filming...the scene or herself, it's not entirely clear.

Dorsey's scraggly beard, as well as his shirt, were noticed, too. Not only was he tie-less, he was collarless. Another photo shows that in his left nostril (not visible here) he was wearing a nose ring.
The person who seems to be having none of it is the cop standing by to protect them. His expression says it all.
Jones even made the photo the banner for his profile page on Twitter...
