In Detroit, we always had a local cop with every squad or platoon to “give guidance and permission.”
In Chicago, the local cops were doing a good enough job of headbeating on the unwashed punks, we BNCO and staff all changed into civies and went to Playboy Club and a place out near airport called SOPs!
SOPs was across street from United Airlines Stewardess Training School..... It was like walking into a woman's prison with a handful of pardons....
I remember that place...I think.
That might be the best story from the Chicago DNC Riots I’ve ever read.
In the aftermath of hurricane Andrew, the 82nd Airborne Division was dispatched to south Florida. They were also sent to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.
