Based on the article, many photography stores would advertise the pictures with white cops or whites committing violent crimes against black people because they sold more often than a regular picture of protesters standing and marching with signs in their hands. They used this tactic of manipulation as a way to make more money as soon as they realized the benefits. They noticed that people were attracted to the drama and negativity behind these images. I feel as if this is wrong for the simple fact that if these are the only images you are advertising those people who have trouble keeping up with the news or times will think or may be confused into thinking that this is the only current and occurring events happening and with that being said it could fuel violence from both blacks and whites against each other. If anything all this is doing is making the greedy rich and instigating a race war and only causing hate, now don’t get me wrong yes those things in the image happened but it is immorally wrong to use these images just to put money in your pockets knowing what the consequences could be.
