Phoenix once had a black, anti-draft riot during World War II. A reporter from The Phoenix Gazette (long defunct) attended, but other than a brief, two sentence, mention in the “truss ads” at the time, the full story went unpublished until the 1970s.
In any event, the blacks in South Phoenix rioted. The response was not made by the police, but the National Guard, who sprayed the asphalt in front of the rioters with .30 caliber, M1919 Browning machine gun fire.
Many were injured by very high speed chunks of asphalt flying at them. Ducking into an alley, the reporter lost the heel of his shoe, knocked off either by asphalt or a ricochet. Because of wartime censorship, not much was said at the time about the event.
The good old days.
Street justice administered by the forces of law and order. In Autobiography of Malcolm X he says all the black guys in the ghetto tried to get out of the draft one way or another. Weren’t gonna fight no damn white man’s war (WW2)
