In the foreground, helmeted police armed with clubs escort a collapsing officer as, in the background, other police confront a wall of demonstrators during the National Chicano Moratorium in Laguna Park (renamed Salazar Park) on August 29, 1970. Paper, aluminum cans and handmade signs litter the grass. A line of tall palm trees in the distance marks the edge of the park.
