The two AP/AFP photos - one with a black person 'looting' for food, and the other with two white people 'finding' food has hit the mainstream.
Here's their response:
"When we see people go into businesses and come out with goods, we call it looting," said Santiago Lyon, AP's director of photography. "When we just see them carrying things down the road, we call it carrying items."
Sadly, there is another photograph with a white woman coming directly out of a store with a bag of 'stuff', while a black man leaves with nothing in his hand. No mention of looting.
I doubt they remember this picture but, at best, it shows they have no policy. At worst, it shows their entire statement is a lie.
I am attempting to contact Mr. Lyon for a comment.
