...and no, it was not published (as far as I know).

[gness]

Well that's a shame.......speaks volumes.....you still taking photos?..x

[-Talbot-]

I'm sorry what was the question?

[anneasquith]

She is so stunning, don't the police look like futuristic beings ?

[gness]

They do, Anne....brilliantly captured.....


Buzz off, Talbot.....you jolly well know what the question was.....x

[douglas9401]

She seems somewhat under dressed for full contact Ludo. The opposition seem to have thought it through.

[-Talbot-]

It's a powerful picture.

Here are some powerful words from a Black police officer if any of you can be bothered to read them.

It's an interesting image, captured at a special moment. Apart from that it tells me little although I see comments there imposing their view on it.

[gness]

Thank you for the video, Talbot...the other I'll read in the morning.....when I can take it in properly.....

OG...it tells me so much..x

[Answerprancer]

[gness]

I'm pleased you are, AP....here's to you capturing the big one!....x

I've read the young Police Officer's words on FB - so eloquent so true and so sad. The problem is far too great for me to put in words anywhere near as well as he has.

We see banners proclaiming...

"Black lives Matter"
"White lives Matter"
"Blue lives Matter"

For heavens sake we dare not even mention

"All lives Matter"

We don't need separate factions groups and differences - we need to somehow see we are all one people.

I must say commenting on one image does not make you block out the bigger picture.

Do I have any idea of a solution?

No I don't.

[-Talbot-]

There doesn't seem a will to find a solution, it is just one vicious circle.

[-Talbot-]

For heavens sake we dare not even mention

"All lives Matter"


Saying that "All lives Matter" gets you called either thick or racist.

For heavens sake we dare not even mention
"All lives Matter"

..of course *all* lives matter, but at the moment, black people are being (ostensibly legally) killed by the police and it is being documented and published. There seems to be an imbalance.

[anneasquith]

I thought we were discussing the above thought provoking photograph. Who would disagree with " all life matters " ?

And so are white people but that doesn't seem to get the same media attention.

[anneasquith]

Yes your quite right talbot , though it would appear more black than white people are being killed ?

excellent photo, AP

As is the one in the OP. It reminds me in some ways of this

Just the notion of people not being cowed by shock and awe
