Protestor gets dragged off street by police - May Day Protests 2001 - London

Any comments?

Good shot, Richard

Not a bad shot. I also thought of taking the day off work to snap the protestors. But as I expected, the police were too well organised this year to get anything really interesting. That pic of that punk on the roof of the car in 1999 was the one I really wanted :) I saw a bit of it on the telly and in some places I think there were more photogs than protestors. Just praying for a bit of blood. Bit sick, really.

 

taking pictures of real shit happening is not a sick thing. but it is the photos we ought to be more concerned about. here, it would have been much more interesting and impressive if the cops were caught really beating the guy.

Great journalistic capture.

It would have been better if you could have moved closer, plus I would like to see all of the cops leg. And use a smaller DOF, IMO I think the other people are distracting
