When Your Childhood Friend Comes At You In Riot Gear
This is the moment the protestor recognized that the officer with the baton was his childhood friend.
True story. Long before Jacques Gourmelen took this photo on April 6, 1972 in Saint-Brieuc (France), the worker, Guy Burmieux, and the riot policeman, Jean-Yvon Antignac, had grown up together. The two had gone to high school together. Partied together. One article called them "best friends". Guy himself is quoted as calling them "inseparable."
