Citizens protecting Baltimore police


Credit to @VBagate; hat tip to reader Kniffler who found the source, which TinEye couldn't locate last night.

What an amazing contrast to the set of twelve photos (examples below) posted at imgur of looting inside a 7-Eleven store (which has garnered 2 million views and been discussed with 15,000 comments at Reddit).  I hope the above photo gets equal attention.

    Taken by @VBagate, an ABC photographer, and almost instantly viralised without attribution :(
