Everyone Is Talking About This Photo From the Protests in Baton Rouge



 Over the past 48 hours in Baton Rouge, La., where the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling by police officers last week has reignited a national conversation on race and policing, over 120 protesters have been arrested — including prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson.

But intense attention, however, has been focused on the image of the arrest of a lone woman in a flowing dress that has since gone viral. The woman stands, arms crossed, in front of a phalanx of officers, silent — even serene — but seemingly refusing to budge.

Although the woman’s identity is not yet confirmed, her actions were described in detail by the photographer who captured the image.

“A group of demonstrators had formed a blockade — blocked Airline Highway, which runs in front of Baton Rouge Police headquarters,” Jonathan Bachman, a New Orleans–based photographer who was on assignment for Reuters, told the Atlantic. Bachman said officers belonging to several divisions of Louisiana law enforcement, many clad in riot gear, descended on the highway to clear the protesters from its path.

2. That Reuters photog deserves a Pulitzer.
 
For capturing a moment perfectly. It is not just the event that needs to be documented, it is the meaning of the event.

Look at that picture.

The cops seem to be off balance, even stumbling. The woman is sure of foot. The cops seem manic, animated. The woman stands still. The cops are taking aggressive stances. The woman is passive. The cops are armored and protected. The woman is laid bare by her flowing and wind blown dress.

This is the moment that any photo journalist lives for. To capture a moment in an image that speaks for itself far beyond the image. There is a story behind the image. And a great pic invites one to ask as many questions as the pic answers. This pic does that and so much more.

Give this Reuters photog a Pulitzer.

And that woman is my favorite heroine.

 :whatever:

I would care about it if it were video of them dragging her off in handcuffs.

Otherwise, not so much.

Looks to me like she had worked it out in advance with the photog. He set his (or she/her) camera to burst mode, she suddenly stepped forward, causing the police officers to step back in surprise, and the photographer chose just the right frame for the pre-planned desired effect. Digital cameras are handy for set-up shots like that - the perfect shot, with no context showing how it really happened.

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I believe this is being passed around as 'Like the Tianamen Square Tank Dude.'  No, it isn't, not even close.  This gal is looking at a modest fine and a couple of hours getting processed and released AT THE VERY MOST.  The guy in China had no reason to believe the tank wouldn't just run over his ass, and if he survived the massacre, I'm sure the Chinese government tracked him down later for the political crime of embarrassing them.

Nothing on any news or social feed, nor water cooler talk or anything else.  It wasn't even accurate ; her arms are not crossed..and the "flowing dress" is just too fairytale-ey.   Get a grip.

For all they could have known this person suddenly stepped forward to create a distraction or worse yet detonate a suicide device.

Besides my normal cynicism and my distrust of MSM types, the way her dress billows out - the front an back in opposite directions - is part of why I think she had just taken an unexpected step forward.

Pretty much.  :II:  I guess dead is too much to hope for.

...and none of it matters, as long, as the narrative drivers are able to spin it for the stupid.

I saw this pic and then looked at her facebook profile.  She is a serious self centered selfie monster.  All the comments on the new story called her an attention ho :whistling:
