i was 9 years old during the 1967 Detroit Riot...lived on the far west side. Everybody in the neighborhood was quite scared...some left town til it was over. They blamed the Detroit Police as the main reason for the unrest. They had a undercover unit called S.T.R.E.S.S..”STOP THE ROBBERIES..ENJOY SAFE STREETS. Also had a unit nicknamed the “BIG FOUR’..4 man plainclothes cars,,,and..they were bad asses....no doubt about it. But i see a much more similar brew stirring that caused alot of the unrest simmering today. The 60’s riots were mostly in the latter part of the decade, well into Lyndon Johnson’s failed “NEW SOCIETY” policies...promising things that simply could never be accomplished. Sound familiar today?..People actually believed the Obama non-sense....now its a failed vision..a promise broken. Also with the Supreme Courts voting act rollback..social media connecting everyone..this could get real ugly.

I was 10 years old and I had forgotten about “STRESS”. Wow, that brings back powerful memories...thanks.
