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.

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.
