1. The suspect is relieved he hasn't been shot ... yet.

3. he is smilling because they did not kill him or beat him up.

At least not in this picture.

5. the optics are HORRIBLE

8. Hours later and I am still gobsmacked.

They had to know how it would look. This had to be intentional staging on their part - and not as police seen with captive kind of shot either.

They either told the man to smile or he was just happy to still be alive.

I just....can't.

6. "silly photo op"?! - "he posed"?! - "Mississippi" ----------how can so-many-levels be so obvious?!

7. they're so proud of themselves...

their ideas of policing, and what I thought was policing are oceans apart. Taking pleasure in brutality and death seems to be a job requirement.

9. Pigs being pigs.

10. posing for this picture is a very bad decision

it prompts the question: what OTHER bad decisions to these cops make?
