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.

What a good sign for the current state of press freedom.
The cool thing about the press is that somehow people will still report what you are doing, so they just managed to get a really powerful pic out of it.
