Black and white image of a cop riot in process. On the left hand side of the image, officers brandishing billy clubs are lined up, ready to strike. one officer raises his hand barking orders, while others swing their clubs at men on the ground. On the right, a crowd of janitors in distress, many of them on the ground, brace themselves. Their pickets are strewn in the street.
