This picture depicts a scene of fights. Judging by the picture, this is probably a riot or a street protest turned nasty in a western country as the picture only shows a big group of Caucasian men. On the right of the picture, a particularly big group of men are trying to rebel the policemen blocking them but to no avail. This shows the policemen are not only efficient to be able to arrive on time to prevent the fight from going bloody, but also well trained to be able to restrain the angry civilians. From the look of the man in a red shirt, I can say that he is quite determined to fight for his rights. I think the policeman restraining him also feels that way as he is only concentrating to prevent him from going anywhere. The amount of strength he uses can be seen from his red face.
On the left of the picture, a man is kneeling on the ground, being held by another policeman who is, at the same time, pointing his weapon at a topless man in front of him. Judging from the camera man in the center of the picture, I think the fight may be quite serious as he has a cautious look on his face while trying to get pictures of the fight. Behind him is also another photographer. This can also elaborate on the seriousness of the fight.
On the left background of the picture, there is a big group of bystanders gawking at the scene. This can show that the fight is taking place in a well-populated place.
In conclusion, I feel that riots, street protests or fights such as this is not necessary at all. They can turn out to be nasty and bloody if the police did not turn up. There are better and safer ways to settle things. I hope that in the future there will be no need for this to happen.
