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.

For real. This is photo of the year material.
And it’s only January 17. I don’t look forward to the horrors to which we will bear witness the rest of the year.
