Last night did have a late ‘60s feel to it.


The age of citizen reporters - clear vivid footage of a cop crushing the neck of a forgery suspect with a smirk and his hand casually in his pocket, or several years ago, a woman broadcasting live a play by play of the death of her boyfriend after a cop shot him, her kid in the back seat.

Imagine what the 1968 riots would have been like if cell phone footage of Dr. King’s assassination had gone viral. It’s so easy to light the kindling nowadays.
