I have seen the picture of a man defacating on a police car all over the internet. Does anyone have an answer for this photo? I need help to overcome some very nasty and small minded posters on one of my forums. thanks.
The copies I've seen online include a caption with the photographer's name, Stefan Jeremiah, in the lower left hand corner. He does take credit for the photo on his website. http://www.bearwitnesspictures.com/news52191.html The photo doesn't prove a damn thing. No one should assume it's representative of OWS. It was taken by a professional photograhpher and could have been easily staged. It's interesting that you can't eliminate James O'Keefe as the defecator because of what's visible. But there isn't enough visible to say that it was definitely him.
If it's important enough, the photographer is where to start looking. I'm not an expert in photograhphic forensics but the police car which is only partially visible does appear to match one of the models currently used by the NYPD.
I heard it was from the Republican convention in NYC a few years ago, not from OWS. Not sure if that is true.
Personally, I think it looks like it could be James O'Keefe and O'Keefe showed up at the protest a day or two after the photo surfaced. That's what I've been saying, LOL. Prove to me that isn't James O'Keefe.
In fact, prove to me when the photo was actually taken, who the man is, was he really with the protest, why does he look like he is intentionally hiding his face (which makes the photo look posed), why did the "original" post of that photo say that two women reported to the nearest police officer what the guy was doing and the police did nothing, that seems really suspect, too.
And so on. There's no proof as to what we are really seeing in that photo and whether or not it is actually connected to OWS. New York is a big city.
But hey, taken from the many people who have meandered by Zucotti Park, it could be one you, given the high level of stink in the area.
It is true. He was creating another OWSr.
What I really think is that he was a right wing scat fetisher.
He was showing his support for the "movement"
