Anyone see this news story this morning? Tottenham violence over someone being fatally shot by police. At first glance, I thought this was from a film - the dramatic explosion, the colours, the size of building... all adds up to something that has been staged, controlled and safe. 
Because of this, it hasn't really struck me that this was a real photograph. I wonder how many of the violent protesters worried about who may be inside that building, or how much this would cost someone. 
It continues to amaze me how much we take life for granted and how the same species of being can think so differently about the values of life.
