A photo depicting the current reality of Baltimore streets has been called everything from "cute" to "heartwarming," but the person who snapped the picture says she still views the viral photo as heartbreaking.
Here's the story behind that striking photo of Baltimore girl, armed Guardsman Girl-national-guardsman-baltimore-today-150504-tz_67666b345235060e9fca5aa0d3924b14.today-inline-large Amanda Moore / MandaWritesThings
This photo received more than 2 million views on Reddit website.

"Everyone thinks this picture is cute. I took it, and I think it's tragic," Amanda Moore wrote in a tweet about the photo she took Friday, which she hashtagged #BaltimoreUprising, just hours after city authorities announced criminal charges against six officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray.
The photo shows a young girl playing with a glow stick while kneeling in front of a National Guardsman. The soldier, sitting relaxed and leaning back amid a wall of riot shields, appears amused. His assault rifle rests upon his body, with the front of the weapon pointed on the ground just inches away from the girl.
"I just thought it was really strange, and it really was sad," Moore told TODAY.com. "It was sad for the National Guardsmen because they had to be there, it was sad for Baltimore. And it was sad to explain to your children what's going on."

They're images you expect to see in a battle zone, not in a major U.S. city ...
