Reply To: For Anyone who was a Teen/Adult in the 60s

Dear Health,
Chas V’shalom that I would accuse you of making it up. My point was we could invent a case just to hear your point. Maybe it was to compare it to today. [In Minneapolis Police Brutality riots of 2020, the Police were accused of escalating protests (True or not, I do not know.) The National Guard was called in, and the riots dissipated.]
Back to history. Every race riot that I found in the early to mid sixties, only got worse with the involvement of the National Guard. Watts, Detroit, and Newark. The only instances of success was during the Holy Week Uprisings. But mainly in the rust belt cities. Other cities (Washington D. C.) where total disasters, or simply (NYC) avoided any uprising, by the white mayor going out and declaring that the murder of MLK was wrong.
