      It is, I don’t know how he stayed calm enough to get that focus on the eyes of his attacker.

      And yet…

      I can’t not say it …

      “Eh, looks like the fascist coward pretty much couldn’t miss, with the way that spray spreads out over his victim. A mediocre shot at best.”

        Probably pulled focus as the dickhole was getting ready to spray, did a burst shot, and picked the best out of the group

            I’ve got a bottom-of-professional level Sony flash that can strobe up to 10 times a second for 4 seconds.

            I can only imagine that would be like a diet flashbang at close range, so I hope he did indeed burst

        It’s expected nowadays for mirrorless pro cameras to recognize eyes and autofocus on them.

    He really captures the vapid, ho-hum, space cadet, business-as-usual, “this is fine” look in his eyes.

    Pepper-spraying people isn’t an “of course” event. It’s an off-course event. This part of the world is broken — and anyone who takes blithe satisfaction and daily pay from it is a broken person.

      If books still exist in the future, this’ll be in the historic photos from this era.

      This is the kind of photo that does damage to their reputation.

      Pictures are powerful, and this one is very much so.

    I wonder how cheaply and effectively you could make a high powered fan rig/battery backpack thing that would move air fast enough to change the direction of this spray

    This would make a great target picture. For you know, practice. BB gun, blow darts, sling shot…

    The splashes of toxic chemicals look almost exactly like a bunch of embers. Kinda fitting, considering the horrible effect they have
