August 26, 1968, Chicago Police Ruthlessly Attack Vietnam War Protesters - Today In Crime History
On August 26, 1968, as the Democratic National Convention got underway in Chicago, thousands of antiwar demonstrators took to Chicago's streets to protest the Vietnam War and its support by the top Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

Chicago Police and National Guardsmen clashed with protesters outside the International Amphitheater, and hundreds of people, including innocent bystanders, were beaten by the Chicago police. The violence even spilled into the convention hall, as officers roughed up delegates and members of the press, including CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, who was punched in the face.

In the convention's aftermath, a federal commission investigating the convention described one of the confrontations as a "police riot" and blamed Chicago Mayor Richard Daley for inciting his police to violence.

So some ignorant libtard calls it a "police riot".

BFD.

If you don't disperse when you are TOLD to disperse, you're going to get caught up in the crossfire.

And just for having long hair being the reason you got a billy club to the scull is not something that EVER happened and your biased article didn't prove jack shit.

you do know how government works, right? a democrat controlled congress/senate has to vote on all these bills in order for the president to sign them. so unless you're trying to intimate that those particular democrats were all stupid and brainwashed by nixon, they were complicit in it as well.

I'm saying he's become a publicity whore. he's trying to turn the 'ESTABLISHMENTS' war on drugs as some sort of GOP endeavor against protestors and minorities when you damned well know that it was BOTH democrats and republicans doing it. but don't let your own fucked up partisanship idiocy keep you from realizing the truth.

Bullshit.
Nixon created the DEA and infused it with great power.
Nixon also listed pot as a schedule 1 (most dangerous )
drug.
He didn't need Congress to do either.
Why are you disputing Erlichman?
Seems pretty partisan to me.
Prove me wrong.
Calling me ignorant proves nothing other than your desperation.

I am saying it IS a GOP design in spite of your weak sauce denials.
There simply is no question.

Bi-partisan attempts to decrim were ignored by Nixon,
Carter was elected on a decrim platform and Nixon's cousin Bush I got the CIA and military more involved in the early '80s.
Sorry but the facts are agin you.

you cannot be that fucking stupid. The president AND congress has to delegate specific authority to any law enforcement agency.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration
The Drug Enforcement Administration was established on July 1, 1973, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973, signed by President Richard Nixon on July 28.[2] It proposed the creation of a single federal agency to enforce the federal drug laws as well as consolidate and coordinate the government's drug control activities. Congress accepted the proposal, as they were concerned with the growing availability of drugs.[3]

if you'd notice, my dispute is about how it ONLY benefited the GOP. It benefited ALL of the federal government by expanding its power over groups of people......reps AND dems.

My gawd. You're ignorance of the Chicago convention is appalling. It's not "some libtard" .
It's a federal commission
On September 4, 1968, Milton Eisenhower, chair of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, announced that the commission would investigate the violence at the Chicago convention and report its findings to President Lyndon Johnson. A Chicago lawyer, Daniel Walker, headed the team of over 200 members, who interviewed more than 1,400 witnesses to the events and studied FBI reports and film of the confrontations. The report released on December 1, 1968, characterized the convention violence as a “police riot” and recommended prosecution of police who used indiscriminate violence.

Daley wouldn't let the protestors march without permits, and then refused to issue permits.
