What BLM now need to do, is to extend their cry to 'All Lives Matter',
Good Luck with that.

And yet only the photograph differentiates her from everyone else who's also faced off with police. Only the fact that the photograph was captured so well. The quote pretty much acknowledges this.. That's why I find the reaction and praise a bit disproportionate.
I do think she did something that took a lot bravery.

It definitely looks staged, I belive staged by [Jonathan Bachman] the camera man who has been working for ruters for the last few days.
The police did what everyone knows they will do if someone steps upto them in the road.
You cant see any other prorestors there, the police dont care that she looks elegant and unthreatening.
If your not allowed to stand where she was standing the police will move you. I dont belive the police needed to be in on it. The person who set this up already knew the police would be in on it as they are doing exactly what they should be doing.
If it was anyone else the police would do the same thing.
According to the BBC the photo is been hailed as legendary.

This picture just adds to the rhetoric that all cops are evil, encouraging violence against police officers.
Not all law enforcement officers are bad. Of course some are, but not all.
This anti-cop hate needs to end now.

What's going on in that picture? Did she knock them back with the Force or something?
The moment occurred on Saturday, July 9th, 2016, after the Baton Rouge Police Department in Louisiana ordered protesters to clear the public roadway or risk being arrested. The woman in the frame, identified as a 28-year-old nurse named Ieshia Evans, decided to take a stand by stepping in the street and getting arrested.

More important question no one's asked yet -- what's the context of this picture?
Seriously. Without context, the picture is useless. They could all be vying for her undying love for all I know without proper explanation of what went on to render this group together like this.

She was breaking the law. People were illegally blocking the street, and I guess because she was dressed nice she thought that somehow she was above the law. That was my take on it.
