WASHINGTON, April 5 -- President Johnson ordered 4,000 regular Army and National Guard troops into the nation's capital tonight to try to end riotous looting, burglarizing and burning by roving bands of Negro youths.
The arson and looting began yesterday after the murder of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.
The White House announced at 5 P.M. that because the President had determined that ``a condition of domestic violence and disorder'' existed, he had issued a proclamation and an Executive order mobilizing combat-equipped troops in Washington. Some of the troops were sent to guard the Capital and the White House.
Reinforcements numbering 2,500 riot-trained soldiers - a brigade of the 82d Airborne Division from Ft. Bragg, N.C. _ were airlifted to nearby Andrews Air Force Base, to be held in reserve this weekend.
It was the first time regular Army troops had been ordered into Washington for a civil disturbance since 1932, when cavalry under the late Gen. Douglas MacArthur drove hundreds of protesting bonus marchers from a squatters' encampment on the Anacostia River.

We all know the word the New York Times' headline writer wanted to use.
Of course the Chicago Police under Mayor Daily handled the situation, their way!
"Summer of 2020—Let’s do it again, Democrat, Mayors and Governors!"
Not much has changed with the 12%, I see.
The headline proves that The New York Times has always been racist. They must be shut down.
Great catch. Next thing you know, someone will accuse Robert Byrd of being racist..

The Police Riot as the commission termed it.
The current clowns are pygmys compared to a world class thug like King Richard.
Was it Eisenhower? Or maybe Nixon? No? What?! It was Democrat President Lyndon Johnson??
