In case it hasn’t been evident, I’ll take this moment to make it clear: I am not here for white supremacists/nationalists, racists, misogynists, homophobes, antisemites, antiziganists, xenophobes, TERFs, SWERFs, or any manifestation of fascism or social darwinism.
The other side of the story... @Regrann from @time - "It humbled me a whole lot, just seeing how a picture like that can reveal so much," said officer Darius Nash during an Aug. 14 portrait session with @ruddyroye in #Charlottesville. Two days earlier, a picture of Nash patrolling a KKK rally in July had found new online momentum as the Virginia college town erupted over a rally of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen. The image was shared widely online, with some of those who did so appearing to think it was made that day.⠀ ⠀ In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of photographs to be grabbed and shared without credit or context. Social networks are now minefields for information-gatherers. Photographers lose control of their work while those who rip and share it can reap the rewards: retweets, likes, followers. Images are separated from their intended meaning, and can even take on a new one. Nash, a school resource officer at Charlottesville High School, told Roye "it also brought my family closer in that they were able to see what I and other officers have to go through on a daily basis."⠀ ⠀ Read the full story about the viral photo and the search for the photographer on TIME.com.⠀ ⠀ Photograph by @ruddyroye for TIME
@Regrann from @time - The officer stands calmly as a group of white supremacists act out behind him. The provocative scene one Saturday afternoon in #Charlottesville, shot with an iPhone, was shared online with a modest public following but would attract a wide audience. "A picture worth a thousand words," one commenter wrote on Aug. 12, 2017. "A black police officer protecting a group of men who wish him harm. Incredible,” wrote another, prefacing that remark with a question common during breaking news: “Who took this photo?” And when was it taken?⠀ ⠀ The picture went viral in recent days as the Virginia college town was rocked by unrest over the planned “Unite the Right” rally. As intense images emerged of the street clashes between white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen who faced off against counterprotesters, this one stood out. But as the retweets entered into the tens of thousands, doubts emerged that this image was from Saturday. In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of images to be grabbed and shared online without credit or context.⠀ ⠀ And so began a search for the photographer, a hunt that started on Twitter and wound through Google, Reddit and Facebook until stopping on Instagram, where it appeared on the feed of Jill Mumie (@lil_mooms). That's where the story behind this photo begins.⠀ ⠀ Read an interview with the photographer and the officer in the picture on TIME.com.⠀ ⠀ Photograph by Jill Mumie (@lil_mooms)
