A powerful and brutal image, make you stop and think.

Ok -- the officer cuffing has really creep eyes! Man, look at that guys arm! Two guns down? The dirt on the door. I want to know the story behind this one. Seems like a lot to stage, but having the gun so near the guy's hand seems bizarre. A lot to discover here.

A real scene or a movie scene? The one on the right looks like the movie guy and the others look very real. The shadow adds another element to the scene. A story to be told.

it seems far to bright but it has good intensity, the guy with the ar-15 type with his bulging biceps and his tight trousers and old boots are at contrast with what i'd assume he'd be wearing looser fitting combats and magnum types with aggresive treaded soles. the prostrated guy also has black combats on and both handguns appear to be glocks so im guessing this is a staged or practice not an atual apprehension plus youre far to close if it was a real situation.

OMG this cannot be real?
If anything it is horrifying and interesting and a tribute to the philosophy of Ubique. High contrast B&W would have nailed this.

I'm hoping this is staged because that one gun is still far too close to the gent who's being handcuffed. And I gotta think they'd not be very thrilled about you being close enough to shoot with a flash. But then again, I just make up stories to go with the pictures sometimes...

Thought provocative for sure.

Oh, how I know Ubique likes some drama! His words of advice to me have included getting in close and dirty, especially when it kicks off. It can't be real though can it? That pistol is in grabbling distance, even if a grab would lead to a head shot.

It looks convincing though so I have to consider that possibility...

Very interesting image.

Holy cow. And scary. So many guns. Definite story here.

This can't be real, but it does look Weegee-ish so well done you. Why not real? Surely cop1 is not going to be cuffing a guy who has a pistol within easy grasp of his free hand? And surely cop2 will, if he fires that silly assault rifle at that range, be likely to splash a bit of collateral damage into cop1? On the other hand, these could be Cory's New Mexico cops, in which case any madness is possible. But whatever, it is interesting, so for that I thank you.
