I remember when this occurred ... I don't have the clip, but I do remember seeing on the news an African-American grandmother in tears holding her grandchild in front of their bombed-out home saying to the child "This is America!!!"

I found it interesting the use of the word "demonstrations" in the piece

1. The word "riot"
has replaced demonstration. Makes it easier to justify the accompanying police brutality.
