Sent to me in email from a very gullible source:

No date, no names from the El Paso police department, no identifiable
businesses in the background, and it really doesn't look like
acceptable police protocol to straddle a suspect and point a gun at
him when he could move and potentially kick one of your legs. This
looks like real photos, fake story. Can anyone here help debunk it?

I am hesitant to click on a linked with the name ShavedLongCock. Just
call me overly cautious I guess.

A quick Google reveals that the location is not El Paso. People have
noticed that some of the images in the email show a "Gravia" store, and
all their stores are in Brazil. It's also been noted that the El Paso
police use Glock 22s, and the cop in the pics seems to be using a
Beretta, and wearing a badge that doesn't match the El Paso police
badge. Brazil also uses green phone booths like the one shown.

Nobody seems to have managed to trace an original news report that
matches.
