The Spectacle of Pepper Spray, Sexualized Females and the Police

The image above was taken by a photographer by the name of Tyler Shields. His work is often considered to be controversial as it contains a significant amount of violence, drugs, sex and exploitation.
This image in particular, I found to be extremely interesting.
The first thing I notice when I look at the picture is the front female spraying the pepper spray. Her stance is powerful and in charge and it is evident that she is purposely dressed as a sexualized blonde bombshell for the rhetoric purposes of the image.
Next I notice the men who are sitting on the ground. These men, clearly meant to represent the police, are the ones being sprayed with the pepper spray which is of course the reverse of what is usually supposed to happen.
This image, I believe, is playing on the recent allegations of police brutality that have made the news over the past couple of years from the G20 Summit in Toronto, the recent occupy movements in New York and multiple other cities, and in particular the University of California pepper spraying of students. (Video can be found here.)
I believe that Shields used sexualized females within the photograph since they are usually seen as the victim whereas here they are the ones in charge and this was meant to create a dramatic and irrational parody in a way of the police behavior. The police here are sitting down in the exact same way as the students were in the UC Davis incident and look defeated with no intention of getting up.
The men in the background taking pictures also play an important role. While men like this would usually be seen as taking photographs of the women, they are in fact focusing their cameras on the police. I feel like the purpose of this is to emphasize the spectacle of police authority acting in ways that seem irrational and out of context which is exactly what was considered of the police behavior in the previously mentioned scenarios.

This is what I got out of this image and I would love to hear what you think of it as well as I find it to be controversial and relevant in regards to the news coverage we have seen over the past couple years on police behavior!
