What's Wrong With This Picture? #HandsUpDontShoot

News media ran a back to school article last week with this photo under this headline:

CHILDREN ARE PROTECTED ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL IN CHICAGO


Does this African American student look like she feels safer having these armed white men with bullet proof vests walking in front of her elementary school?

It's hard to tell how the woman with her is feeling or even what she is doing. Perhaps she is giving her daughter advice on how to stay safe in the face of violent patriarchy. Or maybe just giving her lunch money.

Can you write a better caption for this photo?
