Protests in Puerto Rico

This photograph, captured immediately after the first shots were fired in Ponce, undercut the governor's version of events. He claimed that the nationalists (in black on the right) were armed and fired the first shots on a peaceful police force (wielding guns in tan, bottom center).

The photograph displays a different reality, showing an officer firing on civilians, despite no detectable injuries among the police force. All told, 20 people were killed and nearly 200 injured at the hands of the police in Ponce.
