What we see here is a fully-equipped riot
police officer spraying pepper gas on a seemingly graceful young woman in a red
dress. Is it just that?
No it isn’t. But no one in those days will
know that this picture, which was taken by a Turkish correspondent for Reuters,
would be the main symbol of the Gezi Park incident. This is the most ultimate
example of the monstrous police brutality that has been imposed on the
protesters during the first day of the incident.
The truth is pepper gas, although made from
black pepper, is 1000 times stronger than the real thing, and people have known
to die from it. She is really lucky that she lived to show the incident after
eating 10000 peppers in the face!
On the other hand, I believe that the lady
in red is a beautiful woman with a career ahead of her, but I guess is that her
life will change after that crazy incident. It is not unusual for people who
are just ordinary to have a makeover of their lives after being pushed into the
spotlight of popular culture.
And not to forget the rest of the people in
the picture; I think you have only to see into their eyes to enjoy and catch
that moment to truth.
