When students covered their eyes with their clothing, police forced open their mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several of these students were hospitalized … One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat, was still coughing up blood.

Retired Philadelphia Police Captain, Ray Lewis, being arrested on  November 17th, 2011 at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York  City. Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia  police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests  - being arrested by the NYPD. Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD’s wrongful use of violence against peaceful protesters. From what I have seen, Ray Lewis’ conduct defines honor, bravery, and dignity. There is a media blackout on images of his participation in the protest, and on his arrest: It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot of former  Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere.  I  was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY  papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph.  One of the  only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located at the NYC Observer
