Work Published: People

A few days ago People published a couple of my photos from the I-94 shutdown, which protested the unjust police killing of Philando Castile.

I’m disappointed that People spent most of the first half of the article effectively providing free PR for the St. Paul police. Having witnessed (and obviously photographed) it firsthand, I can say confidently that it was not a “full-scale riot” as the St. Paul city attorney described. For an accurate account of the protest, please see this Unicorn Riot post.

The police did not so much as flinch when this or other fireworks went off near them. In fact, they did not seem to react at all except to look back at it. Makes you wonder.
