People may be missing the use of the camera by the Left.
A camera rarely tells the truth. Still photos, distorted angle (St. Floyd was choked, you know), choice of subject matter. The Left loves the camera because it lies and people trust their eyes. It doesn’t hurt that the world is full of Lefties with cameras.
A picture often does not tell the complete or even accurate story.
That is a fact.
That image was used by the anti Vietnam war movement to show how horrible this war was.
But if you tell the reader that the guy about to get shot in the head was a Viet Cong captain that had been caught murdering the family of members of the national police in Saigon during the Tet Offensive of 1968, suddenly your sympathy for this guy fades.
Context matters.a
