COPENHAGEN — InvestigateWest photographer Christopher Crow had barely started shooting today, capturing the sprint of demonstrators who tried to break through police lines and storm the United Nations climate treaty talks, before he was arrested. Here are a few images he shot in those brief and chaotic moments:
