Earl - this first time the police removed him, he wasn't arrested. But then he came back and was shouting and running in the direction of the War Monument.... that is when he got arrested. Maybe he was on "medication"... or something like that.

Some interesting journalism. I especially like the concerned look in the policeman's face.

Dave - thank you. When things start happening right in front of you, it is easy to take a few shots. (I should have changed the ISO setting... now the photo's are a little blurred....)

Mervo - thank you. No, I didn't send this picture to any newspaper. I used to work as a photo-journalist, but todays photo-editors are managers and don't have a clue about photography. So they don't get my pictures anymore.

Liz - thank you. The policemen wanted to get this done fast and without too much noise, because there was still that memorial going on...

I think it is very good shot as well.....I really like how you have the subject in some good aceptable sharp focus but the second one on the radio is blurred showing good action! Good angle and work catching the background and not having it destract from the subject. I would think this would be even a greater shot in Black and white! Either way its a great shot and some excellent journalistic photography!
Congrats!

Pilgrim - .... maybe because there are just a few colors in the photo. (Why don't you have any pictures online?)
