You might wish to check into the facts behind what became known in '65 as the Watts riots. While there was a litany of other socio-economic issues to be addressed* it frankly wouldn't have likely escalated if the young man's mom hadn't intervened while he was being peacably arrested for drunk driving (and admitted it) - so mom got hooked up as well after she jumped on the officer and began beating his head. Not very civil-rightish - just bad behavior but civil rights sure plays good as an excuse, then and now. The same types of groups we see today shortly offered bounties on the CHP officer involved. 34 dead, 25 of them black. I suppose war depends on which end of the Molatov cocktail you're on.

I do distinctly remember the smoke visible above the Santa Monica hills and that M2AP was $5/100, a bit more if already in bandos.

* And under the 'reign' of a "progressive" libtard governor...
