(31,493 posts)The 1967 Detroit riot, also known as the 12th Street riot, was a violent public disorder that turned into a civil disturbance in Detroit, Michigan. It began on a Saturday night in the early morning hours of July 23, 1967. The precipitating event was a police raid of an unlicensed, after-hours bar then known as a blind pig, on the corner of 12th (today Rosa Parks Boulevard) and Clairmount streets on the city's Near West Side. Police confrontations with patrons and observers on the street evolved into one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in United States history, lasting five days and surpassing the violence and property destruction of Detroit's 1943 race riot.
To help end the disturbance, Governor George W. Romney ordered the Michigan National Guard into Detroit, and President Lyndon B. Johnson sent in Army troops. The result was 43 dead, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than 2,000 buildings destroyed. The scale of the riot was surpassed only by the New York City draft riots, during the U.S. Civil War,[1] and the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

(21,925 posts)Oatman was a retarded 16 year old boy picked up by the police down in Georgia and thrown in jail. He was murdered and tortured in the Richmond County jail, with cigarette burns covering his body. The police autopsy (a fraud) showed death by a fall and didn't mention the burns. A private autopsy paid for by the family indicated the cause of death as a blow to the head with a blunt object. The next day, the black community of Augusta, Georgia rose up in protest and 6 were shot and killed by the police along with 11 wounded. it barely made a blip in the news in those days.
