Baltimore

If I were the photographer I would be kind of scared, because the protesters are being very violent and vandalizing buildings and harming people. Yet this photo is very significant, because this picture shows the damage people are doing to protest. The protesters feel the should have justice when it comes to police killing African-American people when they did not deserve to be killed.
