The track and field of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum are viewed from the stands. The curve of the track passes across the bottom edge. Spectators sit in the stands lining the track in the lower left corner. Dozens of police vehicles line the inside curb of the track and face out towards camera. They follow the turn of the track from left and towards the right, extending out-of-frame. Farther back, the field stretches back through the stadium. Along the near edge of the field, four men stand with flags. Behind them, police officers stand in formation on the field. One of the track's straight-a ways lines the left edge of the field. At the far left side of the track, more people file through a tunnel and onto the track. Stands line the perimeter of the stadium as they stretch across the background.
