I think this photograph appropriately reflects many of the political and financial issues that have arisen in the last 6 months. Not to start shouting my political views on the blog but I think its humorous that peaceful protest results in direct pepper spray to the face, regardless of the nature of the protest. This photograph clearly portrays this and gives the viewer a sense of helplessness for those protesters being sprayed. It also portrays the police officers as being diabolical not only in their method of handling protesters, but as almost "bullying" the protesters with a large show of force behind the two officers in the forefront of the picture. With the officers gathered almost in a circle around the two officers, the intentions of the taking the photograph are fulfilled with the effective capture of a "riot" moment.
