Pictures truly speak louder than words

So I'm sure just about everyone who keep up with current events is aware of the riots that took place in Vancouver a couple weeks ago.  Now out of those riots came something really great. When humanity shows it's ugly side, there is always something to shows just a tiny little bit of light in the dark things we are capable of doing.  And it is this. One of the best photographs ever taken.

A man comforting his girlfriend with a kiss after she was knocked down and injured by the riot police. Everyone knows the story by now, I'm sure. But I can't get over just how wonderful this picture is and what it shows. This is a photo that will surely be one for the history books and perhaps even more interesting is that the photographer snapped the photo by accident while being pushed back by riot police. I call that providence if there ever is such a thing.

So here it is. What is certainly going to be one of my favorite photographs ever.

A split second of compassion happening during absolute chaos.
