The Grammy-Nominated Music video of Romain Gavras: Jay-Z & Kanye West performing "No Church In The Wild" feat. Frank Ocean & The-Dream. © 2012 Roc-A-Fella Records, LLC.
Romain drew inspiration from the Greek anti-austerity protests in Athens Syntagma square followed by violent riots & massive clashes with the Greek Riot Police.
He actually used Hellenic Police badges (ΕΛ.ΑΣ) at the uniforms of the Riot Police as you can see at the framegrabs below extracted from various scenes of the music video.
