However, the image the Trump campaign used is not from the US – or from this year. It was uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia’s public-domain media archive, in 2014 with the label “a police officer attacked by protesters during clashes in Ukraine, Kyiv. Events of February 18, 2014.”
The photographer, Mstyslav Chernov, confirmed to Business Insider that this was his photo from Ukraine in 2014.
“Photography has always been used to manipulate public opinion. And with the rise of social media and the rise of populism, this is happening even more,” he said.

A source close to Facebook told Business Insider that the company does not plan to remove the ad.
