Everyone is saying it is AI, and it might be, but I suspect not. A big tell for me is that the hand in the smoke seems pretty cohesive with the rest of him. I would expect some artifacting.
I do think it’s edited though. Everyone seems to have forgotten that you can just modify pictures without full AI generation.
The framing is weird, if this was actual protest why are they the only people there? The camo pattern isn’t real, the his equipment doesn’t make sense. Hes way too far to be using pepper spray and not even pointing it at the guy, the guy with the leaf blower is way too casual. The cloud is completely wrong, not following the stream of the leaf blower and pepper spray isn’t a whispy smoke like that (specifically because they don’t want it blowing around in the wind) and the text on the leaf blower doesn’t look right.
Edit: also look at the brand name of the leaf blower. And there’s also a Gemini logo in the bottom right lol.

100% AI

Yeah, it is AI. Someone found the original that doesn’t have the compression.
It’s weird that he’d carry around a leaf blower that says self defense on it, but not wear any personal protective equipment.
Also you don’t see the secret police reaching for his sidearm.
He holds it weird too
If it wasn’t ai it would be in the news
I doubt it. The news has shown very little of protests.
