 It took me a while to name this image.
The officers are actually blocking off a road from soon-to-be-arriving protesters. Im not sure what they were protesting (maybe the price of Louis Vitton bags had risen too much).

I'm glad people had a laugh with this one

Man if that were true the world over wouldn't it be something to smile about :-}
I like the composition and the B&W for this shot it's a clean image and you are compelled to read on for the real truth behind the headline. Great shot, good luck.
