That’s disappointing to know. It’s still a dynamic photo that evokes emotion and acts as a snapshot for an event making it Pulitzer worthy.

I’m not disagreeing with you at all. I actually think the contrast adds to the image. It’s ALL cops. I’m not blaming the photographer for the fact ALL cops are like this

I feel like him having made mistakes doesn’t discredit that what he did was heroic also

Wrong. Three VERIFIED things against him. It’s actually closer to 15 accusations, only THREE OF WHICH were found to be conclusively “unfounded.”

And that’s just the ILLEGAL parts. Here’s some of the Perfectly Legal Things the NYPD was doing over the past 20 years: Beating back Occupy Wall Street, beating back BLM protestors in 2020, beating back BLM protestors in 2014 after the NYPD killed Eric Gardner, planting evidence in Flushing, NY, the “rape cops” scandal, the Stop and Frisk scandal, illegal surevillance and stalking of muslims after 9/11, evidence falsification, corruption in multiple precincts, the “arrest quota game,” etc!

Combine THAT with this propublica reporting from 2024, and suddenly, “12 credible accusations in 20 years” seems like A FUCKIN LOT, doesn’t it?

Yeah 3 verified wrongdoings over the course of 20+ years pretty good. Not many would be willing to put themselves in harms way like that so I respect it

and while you’re at it - read what ACTUALLY HAPPENED during one of those “verified wrongdoings.” cause just reducing THIS to two words is… emotionally convenient, right? lets you totally ignore the sheer. fucking. violence.
