A demonstrator kisses a riot police officer on November 16, 2013 during a protest in Susa against the high-speed train.
Maybe all we really do need is love?
An Agence France-Presse photographer snapped this image of a
protestor during a demonstration over the construction of a high-speed
rail in Susa, a tiny town in northwestern, Italy near the French-Swiss
Alps.
Protestors descended on the tiny Alpine village Saturday to rally
against the construction of a planned high-speed line between Milan and
Paris, which critics say is too expensive and comes at great
environmental cost.
While previous protests have turned violent with police responding by
using tear gas, last weekend’s protest was a peaceful march.
Photographer Marco Bertorello said he watched a young woman run up to
one of the riot-equipped policemen, throw her arms around him and lay a
kiss on his plexi-glass visor. The young officer closed his eyes and
embraced the fleeting moment before pushing her off as it were an
attack.
