This is Kasabian´s great ´reason is treason´ music video.

despite the excellent images and composition -I love the parody of police, wall street and the monkey execs counting money, new orleans looting and 1950s nuclear scare (there´s some images from vietnam war era protests too- all giving the feeling of impending armageddon and despair, superbly assembled

around minute 2:25 there´s images of a violent racial rioting and at 2:57 there´s images of what seems like French police (B&W) with large sticks hitting people trying to pass through a gate

any idea of what historical footage are those two segments from?. I´m asking bc I´d like to obtain longer segments of these two for another project of mine

TIA :)
