The scene starts with a close up on MPs or military police in formation holding rifles. A man on megaphone giving orders to a crowd to disperse. The crowd surrounds an army Jeep, and the army threatens to use force. The crowd disperses and the camera takes a wider shot. The sound changes to voice-over by instructor, and three men remain to slowly walk away after the protest ends.There’s high wide establishing shot of a street with a line of military police pushing back a crowd, with lots of reinforcements behind them. The reinforcements come in formation, then break to join the front line pushing the protesters. The MPs create a V-shape, vanguard formation and push the crowd into an intersection. The camera takes a bird’s eye shot of the intersection. The crowd shakes fists and yells, but slowly moves back. Then there’s wide shot of the crowd being pushed into smaller groups, divided into the different streets off the intersection. Afterwards, more Jeeps come in behind the MPs in a straight line.
