How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

Really? Really? I suppose you could argue that 'the man' shouldn't get in the way of people who want to stab and run over people going about their lives.

One of the pictures on the news reports showed a man who'd perhaps fallen or been thrown by the car's impact into a set of stairs leading into the embankment. Looked pretty grim
Someone shared some footage of people lying injured, possibly dead. One was under a bus. It was pretty bad and I reported it to Facebook. I don't know what the fuck possesses anyone to walk past a load of injured or dying people and film it and then upload it to Facebook. Sick.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
The ex foreign minister of Poland - chap called Sikorski - was driving past in a taxi as the car mounted the pavement and people were being hit and thrown left, right and centre. He decided to take the opportunity to film the event...

You could have sided the pots before taking that picture. Standards.They aren't showing c4+1 news? It started, then cut to this?

Reuters have posted some indefensible pictures of this on their Instagram account.
I honestly detest the people who go about photographing people in their moments of distress, crisis and vulnerability. Detest them. There's something altogether callous which makes people think they have the right to photograph others in such states and to spread them online when they can't possibly have their consent is fucking low. If I saw it happening I'd like to think I'd fuck their phones off the bridge.
But I'm probably too mild mannered to do that

According to the BBC news he gave CPR for 15 mins. And, judging by the photo, got the victim's blood on his face and around his mouth.
Me? I think that deserves some respect.

You may well be right there. The post you replied to (hopefully) said more about the media than the man.

yes, even if you took the images in the 'spur of the moment' then editing and putting them on social media is just not right.

It's defensible, I think, for Reuters/PA/AFP etc to upload raw stuff up onto the news wires. Their instagram account, not so much perhaps.

There was a really bad one I saw from Reuters (retweeted by the @nytimesphoto account on Twitter, which has a number of them) with an injured women lying on the ground, being helped by somebody, looking at the camera. That particularly got to me. I still don't think those sort of pictures should be restricted in any way though.

The i Paper was going with this rather strong image as their cover tomorrow, but after feedback editor Oly Duff appears to have decided that a redesign is in order:

FFS! Not sure if that that was someone who died or 'just' injured, doesn't really matter. Somehow worse by just showing a detail. You can't run a paper with the question of 'what would the victim's family think about that', but sometimes...

It's a shitty clichéd "strong image". Doesn't surprise me at all that they were going to use it.

It's a funny thing isn't it. I think most of us will 'happily' (for want of a better word) watch mobile phone footage of a major news event shot by witnesses. Not necessarily gory of course, but one that shows the heat of the moment. And yet, I can't help thinking you'd have to be a bit of a wrong'un to be filming casualties on the ground or people in panic/distress, even if it didn't show any graphic details.
I'd certainly would like to think I'd never consider getting my phone out and start filming if I got caught up in such situation. And yet I feel guilty by being grateful (again, for want of a better word) that others did just that, especially if theirs was the only footage available of that particular aspect of the incident.

I saw a distressed-looking man on top of a building in central London a couple of years ago and loads of twats had their mobiles out filming him. I can kind of understand the situations that you describe above, but that was sheer prurience at someone's evident distress and potential suicide.

i suppose it is good that people film incidents like this though, as they might be useful as evidence. Publishing them on social media is a different matter.

but also:
People don't view reality through their smartphones. They film it, but don't address the real situation. Like watching a distant war on TV. You aren't there. You won't get harmed - it doesn't affect you.
Those of us watching on the internet are probably closer to the truth than the person filming in a way. Other sources are conveying much more information for us to build the truth from. Things correlate, it makes sense. The person filming won't be receiving nearly as much background info'.
That and the fact that all smartphone users know they have to film events to prove they were there on Facebook later.

Middle paragraph is okay. The others are rubbish.
