Portland boy hugs cop

[PDXFonz]

Remember how I told you guys I had a really chill Portland police officer as my skydiving instructor?

He's the officer in the photo!

I'm not big on anyone younger than 50 wearing a fedora, but that kid pulls it off without coming across all hipster douchebag...

The touching hug photo from Ferguson protests is a blatant lie

The camera is a superb liar. It only shows one moment, and has no obligation to explain the bigger picture behind it. The selective use of photographs can therefore replace truth with whatever visual detail we choose to fix on. Horror or schmaltz, the effect is the same, to simplify reality and turn a story into a deceptively straightforward image.

_^^^^^^^ the author's picture is a lie because he looks like a total douche. Wait, that picture IS true then.

Ha! Yes there are more than one side to this issue and more than one fix needed.
