Oct 12, 2011 11:41 | #1 I just saw this article.. The NYPD is allowing the protestors, but after bad press (from photos and video of heavy handed cops) they are cracking down on photographers: 7D | 300D | G1X | Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 | EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 | EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro | EF 85mm f/1.8 | 70-200 f/2.8L MkII -- flickr

Of course, we may not have the full story in the story. Of course it is anti-democratic and anti-freedom. The police are like most of the country's institutions. They serve the well-to-do more than the have-nots. That's pretty much what the protest is about. A photo I took HERE published in National GeographicTime on your hands? Then HERE'S plenty more photos to nibble on

Try to connect with them as individuals, recognize them as human, let them know your human too. Humor is your friend:  IMG_6628_Flicker by lthnmsrtkn, on FlickrSo far I've had no issues with the police either photographing them or bad treatment, and have seen them be very courteous to journalists of both video and photography. I've seen them show significant restraint as well. That may just be the region I'm in, or isolated experience that isn't representative though. I think it's worth trying to put yourself in their shoes, they have a job to do too. Sometimes a pretty dangerous job, with immense consequences for any mistakes. On the other hand I think we should document what happens, try to keep everyone honest and accountable. If you look close, you'll probably see them taking video/photos of you, so make it a two way street.

Sort of a way to say "Hi, if you're hungry here's some food. We don't think we need to be hostile to each other."- at least that's my take on it. Now maybe Ramen was a deliberately silly choice (or a religious choice from an FSM disciple), but maybe it was just what was on hand. I observed several protesters offering food to all including the police, the ramen seemed funny though.

I don't have a problem with them filming protests, certainly makes it a lot easier if something happens, anyways, you've got rights to photograph people in public places SO DO THEY! I wish I could be out getting pictures of the Occupy Wall Street Protests. Facebook
