A clash between Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter demonstrations over the weekend in Smithtown, Long Island, ended with at least two arrests. Demonstrations like these have been documented across the U.S. in the past year. This altercation was captured by an introductory photojournalism class at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.

Wasim Ahmad, a Quinnipiac journalism professor, said the class went to Long Island to get their feet wet using a camera but learned a lesson about how to capture conflict.
