My point is - I could show you a handcuffed guy and tell you he is Putin’s personal slave. Heck, the Palestinians will show you any number of body parts of dead children and tell you that the Israelis cooked them to bake matzohs. That photo showed a guy chained to a post, with a riot police shield and some generic guy in the background. Was he a protestor being held before processing? Was he a pro-Yanukovich official posing for the camera? Nobody knows. We’ll find out how the Ukrainian people really feel when elections are held in May 2014.
It's a legit photo. A governor of a province is a known person. Here is his bio, with a photo. And here is the article, see for yourself. I will quote a little here:
Volyn governor beat hard on the eyes of 30,000 protestersThe official was seized by protesters during the storming of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs
Real violence perpetrated protesters Ukrainian Lutsk. Volyn region governor Alexander Bashkalenko tried to appease a mob, but no amount of persuasion had no effect. Politics was severely beaten and then handcuffed on the central square in the eyes 30 thousand people and doused with cold water. There is information that the protesters went to the house of the governor for his family.
