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.
Photographers and journalists are two separate groups though. Photographers are the admirable ones for collecting facts and putting themselves in actual danger.
Journalists, however, oftentimes take these facts and spin them for ad revenue, political gain, or their own career advancement
