Here is a higher-quality, less-cropped, and pre-shopped version of this image. Here is the source. Per there:

> A mounted police officer raises their baton as police horses ride along Whitehall, past the entrance to Downing Street, in an attempt to disperse protestors gathered in central London on June 6, 2020, during a demonstration to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis. - The United States braced Friday for massive weekend protests against racism and police brutality, as outrage soared over the latest law enforcement abuses against demonstrators that were caught on camera. With protests over last week's police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, surging into a second weekend, President Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy by saying it was a "great day" for Floyd.

Here adds:

> In July 2021, a widely-shared tweet appeared to show a remarkable moment of symmetry during a demonstration in the United Kingdom — a police officer on horseback, swinging a baton, facing a protester wearing a jacket with the Ralph Lauren Polo logo of a polo player on horseback swinging a mallet.

> The poster, Tom Moylan, added the humorous caption, "Never meet your heroes"...

> The "Polo" logo — first introduced by Ralph Lauren in 1971 — was digitally added by Marijn Achternaam, a graphic designer who specializes in fake, ironic brand advertising and product tie-ins on their Instagram page, which they describe as "Bridging the gap between art and advertising."
