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.

Absolute golden shot. This one will be in middle school history books by the time I’m retired when they’re gonna teach the kids about the rise and fall of fascism in the US.
You guys should get working on the fall part, seems to mainly be rise right now
I’m watching from Norway, so I can’t do much else than guarantee to the Americans that socialised public services work and properly educated and governed police doesn’t shoot people as their default reaction to any unexpected situation.
