1968 was preceded by the Summer of Love.......................
I saw a documentary on the Summer of Love which interviewed a number of San Francisco cops who were on duty at the time.
It was anything but a “Summer of Love”. Idealistic youngsters from the Midwest getting off the Greyhound and being beaten, robbed, raped by the local thug community. More overdose deaths and kids sky-high on dope falling out of windows than any of them wished to recall.
