Reed and Clark, charged last week with the 1970 slaying of officer James Sackett, came of age in the tumultuous '60s when many young people, black and white, distrusted the police and defied the "establishment." Those were days of rage, fueled by antiwar sentiments, oppression and poverty.

I think thjose days were more fueled by the thoughts of partying and getting l**d. Days of rage, oppression, and poverty? Did they think they were living in the Soviet Union?

I was 17 in 1968. The only rage I remember was by the anti-war crowds on campus. I never felt oppressed. Poverty?
