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.

Amazing shot
Also I can’t help but laugh at the idea that the photographer in this moment was in fact not taking the guy’s camera…but instead, getting the shot
This is the shot Pulitzer’s are made of TBF.
That camera looks like it was in flight.
