“I don’t know how old you are, but when I was a kid, cops were doing this kind of stuff, or much worse, only there were no cameras around to catch it.”

I grew up in NYC in the 60’s in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city. This was at a time when busing blacks to white schools started to happen. Cops walked a beat by my house and in my building alone there were two cop families.

These riots we are seeing now have been going on for more than a generation. Look up the Harlem riot of 1964.

Yes, and in some ways, these riots are pretty tame. I knew somebody who was in Tulsa during the riot in the early 1920s, when hundreds of people were killed, and dynamite and other explosive devices were being dropped out of airplanes onto people and buildings. In Tulsa's case, they did a really good job of officially covering up their role in it (the cops assisting in the murders, the fire department refusing to put out fires, etc.).
