This is very recent, however this does feel like a picture future generations should see.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Can I cast a vote for keeping it? History is happening right now, and it needs to be seen. Were it a more mundane event, I might share your opinion that it needs to wait before it is history, but this is part of a wave of events that is changing life now, and for the future.
The community sidebar says:
I would say that this is definitely a snapshot of recent history, and it will reverberate for years to come.
I’ll sit on the thought for a bit. Please remember, though, that this comm is not meant to be for news, no matter how important.
But on the third hand, that photo though. I’d not be surprised to see it at this year’s World Press Photo exhibition. What it lacks in history it makes up for in the photo part.
We’re making history here in US, and it’s very similar to historical Germany
