1967 Detroit Riots: the National Guard and the Army were sent into the Black
community. A friend of mine who lived there at the time described how the
national guard arrived in tanks that went down narrow streets, flattening any
cars in the way. He said that he witnessed a sniper shoot at the tanks and they
turned the tank guns towards the top of that building and blew it to
smithereens. This kind of thing would never make it to the 5:00 news.
The National Guard was also sent to Newark during the 1967 riots, to Watts
during the 1965 riots, to Liberty City in Miami during the 1980 riots and to
Los Angeles during the 1992 riots.
