It was close to rioting in the early 90's with the police beating death of Malice Green, but that was local and right after Rodney King.
I hear ya, but it still seems strange. My experience — granted 35 yrs ago — was a lot of racial discord. Plus, a lot of leftist strategists/brainiacs...think WU or SDS. Didn’t one of those groups originate in Port Huron? Maybe Det is just where “they” send out the leftist marching orders!
