From a photographic standpoint this picture concisely captures the moment. The background is a touch busy, but for a photojournalistic shot that's not necessarily a bad thing.
From a procedural standpoint (and this is what struck me at first glance) this officer is setting himself up to be shot. The gun holster is unbuttoned, and the suspect's fingers look like they're extended toward the gun. Not a good situation (even if it isn't real), but still a very good photo.
I'd not heard of the SKID program before. I think that it could make a big difference if some of the schools in my area tried something similar. Thanks for sharing the photos. |
