The most important Baltimore riot photo you'll see today

This photo is being widely shared online as people try to highlight the other side of Baltimore in the wake of the recent riots.

As residents took to the streets yesterday to begin cleaning up, Bishop Cromartie, a senior pastor at Prophetic Deliverance Ministries, took this photo of a young boy handing out bottles of water to the police in riot gear standing by.

Cromartie told Bustle.com that he shared the picture as “a way to show that Baltimore is not as bad and that the people who riot are just a handful, that clearly you have, statewide, people who actually care.

"He (the boy) actually was the only one handing out water. What was so intriguing was he was doing it on his own. It showed that he had a mind of his own that, despite everything that was going on, that he still wanted to make sure the police were okay and he may be realizing that someday he’s going to need the police."

Mr Cromartie said the policeman did not accept the water.
