[cabot]

Definitely iconic

1. My God..what must be going through his mind

[potone]

2. It is painful to look at this.

That poor policeman!

[cabot]

3. Agreed

But it is one of those images that will end up defining what happened today. At least I think so.

8. Just posted the same sentiment, cabot - one photo says it all...and, in fact, it has already

been posted on DU and all over twitter time and again today - GOOD

[cabot]

10. It needs to be seen!

I'm not on social media - a bit of a luddite.

[hibbing]

15. You are using a very offensive term in a thread about bigotry n/t

[Leghorn21]

5. This photo's going to be iconic/viral/historic, eh? It's too sad and insane and moving to look

at for too long...

OH

[madaboutharry]

6. The true irony

is that the miscreants standing behind him think they are superior to him.

This photo should get nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

[cabot]

7. Absolutely

It deserves a Pulitzer. It is one of those photos that really does affect a person.

9. That photo is one for the ages

11. And to think he puts his life on the line even for these assholes!

So sad in so many ways....

[Not Ruth]

12. Those colors

Make me think of a Pepsi can.

A red KKK hood? Washed it in hot?

18. Colors have significance in that organization

Red robes are worn by members who recruit, or "kleagles." Purple robes are worn by the chapter president (what this member is called depends on the chapter; every group seems to have a different name for their head racist), and white ones are worn by ordinary members.

13. I wonder what is going on in the police officers mind?

It sucks that he would be responsible for protecting people who think his race should be destroyed or enslaved.

[OutaHere]

14. Heil Dumbasses!

Sieg Heil!

17. Where is that photo from?

Who gets the credit for that one?
