Title supplied by cataloger. Photographer's caption reads, "Two motorcycle cops, three police cruisers, and an unmarked green Chevy pulled over the blue Ford F150 with Maine plates. They hauled out three young men and at gunpoint forced them spreadeagle on the pavement. Eventually, the cops cinched up the handcuffs and hoisted the trio upright. The three young men were placed far apart face-first against the stucco of an east-facing hotel wall. It was late, cold, dark, and lonely. From an uncertain distance up the dark street I heard a male voice: "So, you got to subjugate the black man." But only one of the three was black."
