Yep. Read about this in one of my history classes.
The 60s were really a dangerous time in this country's history.
Wondering how this time compares to then.
Wondering if I'm thinking what my dad must have been thinking.

It is close to that. In those days at least they put up a fight. Despite what some think is outside federal control, Johnson sent in the 82nd I believe into Detroit to put down the rioting there. Tanks in some cities were common place. Today, the pansies in our government are
“concerned” how bad that would look. I see, it is better to see whole malls and parts of cities looted and burning rather than restoring order and if need be killing the damn rioters. The NJ national guard in Newark had to be restocked with ammo so much 30 cal had been fired for instance. By 70 the race riots had morphed into anti war riots.

Of a vintage that i lived through the 60’s.
Difference, you didn’t have the outright assault on police in terms of defunding
There were enough of us whose Fathers and Grandfathers fought in the world wars, and abhorred the uniformed demonstrators.
Many of us are Vets and know how the MSM treated those who served their country during the Vietnam Era.
We served and fought besides all races, creed, religions in real life situations, not these “ coddled” anarchy demonstrations that harm law abiding citizens...
For the most part the 60’s protestors were home grown and not supported by other entities such as Soros et al....
Hope this gives some perspective from an “ old timer”
P.S. My dad was a navy medic at the Normandy Invasion he saw the real horrors of tyranny.
He was still alive seeing the 60’s stuff and commented then that this isn’t what I and others fought for , put our lives on the line , for people to act like fools...
he would be even more disappointed today.
