Wow. That’s an unbelievable read.
And below that with the info about the other riots.
So more than college riots out of hand, it was city wide riots.
It’s also surprising that someone said their mother said now was worse. That’s exactly what I was wondering too. People who lived it and people who are educated about it.
Thanks y’all

No one could accuse the Chicago cops of discrimination.
They savagely attacked hippies, yippies, New Leftists, revolutionaries, dissident Democrats, newsmen, photographers, passers-by, clergymen and at least one cripple.

he ordered the cops to "shoot to kill" arsonists and to "shoot to maim or cripple" looters.

Fortunately, there was no shooting.
quote:
"The force used was the force that was necessary," insisted Police Superintendent James Conlisk Jr.
He could point to the fortunate fact that no one was killed.
He also pointed out -- almost with pride -- that the casualties included 152 cops.
