FBI File Classification Meme with Keanu Reeves

This meme features an edited behind-the-scenes photo of actor Keanu Reeves in-character as John Wick, sitting on a public park bench. He wears a tactical night vision helmet, has a high-end customized assault rifle propped next to him on the bench, and is feeding a small wild chicken walking on the ground in front of him. The top text jokes about the experience of finding your own FBI file, that labels you as "not a threat, 'low-risk individual', 'possibly retarded' and 'poor'". The humor comes from the contrast between John Wick's iconic reputation as an extremely deadly, unstoppable assassin and the harmless, insulting low-risk classification from the FBI that matches the calm, mundane scene even with the heavy tactical weaponry present.
