Some more thinking about this photo..This is America, 2011!?
Where cops freely spray faces of protesters who are doing no harm?
Where the ‘threat’ from kneeling demonstrators force a cop to pepper spray without inhibition?
This should be front page, top of the fold.. TIME mag cover material. This should be first story on every news cast.
But alas, it’s not.
Why would it be, after all? It’s the new norm…No shame. No fear. The world order is … here. New or old. It’s here.
