Wow, that is way to do a prank, and the correct non response from the city.

Agreed, police responses should be proportional to the threat. Personally I think the Detroit riot of 67 could have been prevented if police had ignored the party in the blind pig for that one night and taken it up with the owner the next day. That's not to blame the police, as I recall the owner admitted that he was at least partially responsible because he incited the growing crowd and threw the first bottle.

While I know nothing of the Blind Pig, I think I have to disagree with you.

I was in Cincinnati in 67, my dad was CDR of AFEES there. I remember the riots happening and going through the city seeing signs in windows saying “Soul Brother”, I had to ask my parents what that meant as I was only 12.

These riots happened around the country, it was more that just a one place incident.
