Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is weird - this is one of the most iconic photos in the history of war (or even of photography in general)....
Capa Spanish Civil War Photo Likely Staged: Researchers
MADRID — Robert Capa's photograph of a falling Spanish Civil War militiaman became one of the most famous and enduring images of conflict in the 20th century. Now, Spanish researchers who have studied events surrounding the picture believe it may have been staged.
When first published in September 1936 by French magazine Vu, and later in Life magazine, the caption on the legendary photojournalist's "Falling Militiaman" said it depicted the moment a Republican rifleman was mortally wounded.
The location was given as Cerro Muriano on the Cordoba front, where forces backing Gen. Francisco Franco were engaged in fierce fighting with soldiers loyal to the elected Republican government.
...
For Spaniards, "Falling Militiaman" is a searing reminder of a 1936-39 internal conflict that deeply divided a nation along political lines and cost at least 500,000 lives. For Capa it was the image that catapulted his career as the world's foremost war photographer.

Tommy, I don't know what it's news to the Huffington Post, but I think the belief that the photo was staged has been around for a while.
