PHOTO OF THE WEEK ‘High Emotion’

This is a great breaking-news photograph from staff photographer Kent Treptow. The image, of Costa Mesa Police officers detaining a distraught woman who had barricaded herself inside a Costa Mesa office park for nearly three hours Thursday morning, captures the emotion on the woman’s face as she’s escorted from the building by officers Mike Balsis and Eugene Kim. The photo also shows some of the items used by officers in these situations: the officer in front is holding a gun used to launch gas canisters, and a riot shield can be seen to the left of the frame.
