He confirmed that the department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives were investigating the fire as an act of arson…

In Ohio there weren’t many peaceful demonstrations but brick & stones being tossed at Columbus PD officers. Ah the fragrance of tear gas in the air. Brings back memories.
First snoot-full of tear gas I got was in high school. That was one of several race riots, rather than an anti-war demonstration.
If they had not been there, the bricks and stones would not have been thrown at them.
Lansing, MI came up with an interesting idea: an annual football game, between hippies and policemen, billed as “Pigs vs Freaks”, with the proceeds going to charity. That event ran for several years in the 70s.
According to the Michigan History Center’s Rachel Clark, the story began with a 9-1-1 call in about a group of people playing football on the field at East Lansing High School.
“Someone called the cops and said that some “hippies” were trespassing," Clark said. “So East Lansing police arrive and tell them to stop playing and that they have to leave. And the young people refuse. And they actually not only refuse, but they challenge the East Lansing police officers to a game and the officers accept.”
And unfortunately this trend appears to be migrating to the town where I live outside the city limits.
