I’m in my late fifty’s and I was commenting about my thoughts at the time I read it. And I still wonder what he saw at the time that made him want to write a story about such a future. If I remember it was about ten years after the race riots so that made it probably during Carter’s term as president. Unemployment was high and the economy sucked but I don’t recall Police over-reach then as I see happening now.

I do and did a lot of reading and also my job put me in contact with Government people including police every day.
The attitude even then were that there are two sides, one side Government the other side the natives.
In the earlier days, even in the 60s a policeman did pretty much according to his own conscience and most of them were pretty good but due to a few mistakes, lawsuits and etc they have developed procedure which have taken away any human conscience.
