It swims nothing to do. I saw the situation and began to shooting a roll of film. Only have a few pictures. I token 6 or 7 not more, using a 17 mm. wide angle to catch all the action. The woman stop the beat of the police with a stick. All happened in seconds, but I will never forget the moment. Two women fell to the floor injuried and the policemen entered the car and left them thrown there, injuried, with blood falling for the head.
