Photo depicts: A police officer wearing riot gear and wielding a gun to shoot gas canisters, uses it to move a photographer out of Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkeley campus. Another officer carrying a baton walks behind him. The photographer carries his camera, wears boots and a helmet with a face shield; the helmet has the word PRESS written on it. A large group has gathered around the perimeter of the plaza just visible in the photo. A gas mask dangles from another photographer's wrist in the corner of the photo.
