in the Detroit riot, 600,000 blacks were confined to living in a very small area of the city, literally living on top of each other. L.B.J. promised them the world, and when it didn’t materialize, a lot of Major cities went up. Detroit Police also had a special unit called the “Big 4”...they really cracked heads....
I got pulled over by the ‘big four’ once on the way to a softball game with most of the team crammed in the car. They thought we were going to a gang fight. The two big harness cops pulled the seats out of the car while the two ‘dicks’ grilled us about the ball bats in the trunk. When they found balls, mitts and catchers’ gear too, they climbed back in their plain black Buick sedan and left us with the job of reassembling my car.
