What a photo!
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.

The list of democratic offenses and disregards is substantial. Now this?
Get off your ass, Congress, and stop him. Trump is rewriting our country by burning its principles.
