Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
This was a unique moment in February 1983; the horse is now dead, and the moment cannot be recaptured
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image is of a smaller size than others copies of the original. It is a cropped version of the one in the original source
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The copyright of a photograph taken by a outlawed organisation as part of a crime and sent to the police is unclear, and any commercial opportunities are correspondingly limited. The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. No commercial use is attached to the use by Wikipedia.
