Scope and content
Three plain-clothes cops capturing a student. One is looking back at Raymond Tucker who is taking the photo. The baton in the hand of a cop to the left is not being used, perhaps because they knew Raymond was there with his camera. Many photos that were published in the newspapers showed the batons being used to bash students.
