Wow, how times have changed. Too bad you can't be like this again. A show of force and you get the job done. Looks like it was the fun times.
That........... Was............ AWESOME
Shit ton of ISRs, top brass will be happy
I was there!!!!!
Learned not to throw a teargas canister without a thick leather glove.
But I was a civilian then.
It was NOT a police riot. Some of those people NEEDED their heads whacked.
Hey man , why not ?
That would surely divert attention .
White shirts in the front! Those are true leaders!!
BTW SCC have you talked about this??
http://www.policeforum.org/assets/reengineeringtraining1.pdf
There is a large organize push to change the use of force! I knew this was in the talks but didn't realize how many departments are already adopting this dangerous way of thinking!
Medium cool...
Saw 2 of my sergeants, but not are retired now (and one has passed).
I saw nothing wrong. (Better mayor back then, too).
I know some of the offending police, but I will only call the BLACK PHONE.
That video is concerning
Maybe Rahm can score the 2020 Democrat National Convention for Chicago?
It won't be the 50th Anniversary, but it will be close enough for CPS graduates.
The Thin Blue Line held, and the Democratic Convention continued...
The Chicago Police Department need NEVER apologize to anyone for what happened.
Wasn't that Chicago's finest hour?
>Grin!<
Wooden Shampoo in the park...and it's FREE!
That's the way it should be.
Now THAT makes me smile. Oh, no.......now we have shithead thugs getting in the faces of hard-core, tough, city street cops WITHOUT the normal "wood shampoo" they deserve. Ah, well......happiness is fleeting.
That video is "concerning"
Bunch of useless hippies. How much you wanna bet they're all republicans now? These same clowns who were preaching social change back then are now the ones who live in gated homogenous communities where people clutch their wallets and purses at the site of the first saggy pantsed, cocked bb cap wearing, loud mouthed tatted urban tumbleweed doing the gangster stroll down the block. Same ones who want us to go out and check out that aforementioned "suspicious" looking character the minute he steps foot anywhere near their manicured and very expensive abodes.
Ah, the good old days. Don't get excited kiddies, it was real. Now days White shirts are busy watching you, not getting whacked like one in the video. Then, white shirts were for lieutenants and above only.
Can some CPD who there at the 68 convention give us some personal tips on what it was like?
It looks to me like most of the CPD men were underdressed - just in short sleeve shirts, not full riot gear.
Haven't laughed that hard in a while
Everyone one of those officers would have been stripped with this current pussy regime. It looked like so much fun.
Coming of age in the sixties, I knew that something historic and drastic was going on in this country and society. I also knew that we, as a country, were great enough to get through it and move on. Nowadays, I really have to wonder.
Well I didn't see the part where the yippies were breaking windows of cars on Michigan Ave. parked in front of the Conrad Hilton, of the Conrad and moving north, breaking glass in other establishments. That was when the police charge took off from the north headed south down Michigan to confront them. Loved the fools that climbed up into the trees. But I can watch that 100 times and not get tired of it or be disturbed by it. Baltimore is what happened when the police are not aggressive against criminals demonstrating under the guise of peaceful protest; as we all saw in Baltimore. Secondy, our Mayor now is more like the Mayor of Baltimore and Chicago than old man Daley was. Both Chicago and Baltimore have a couple of assholes for Mayors now.
Tears come to my eyes seeing that.
Those rough and tumble veteran officer taking control with a bicycle helmet,gun and a wooden baton.
I don't see anyone with a whistle in any footage from that time.
Well it is all good as long as RAHM squirms!
You won the battle, but lost the war. These former hippies now run the Democratic Party and the country.....Clinton, Jarrett, Obama, et al.
That was fucking great.... old time policing .
The Thin Blue Line held, and the Democratic Convention continued...
The Chicago Police Department need NEVER apologize to anyone for what happened
be careful, that pos from DC, loves to apologize!
I saw old man Walton there carrying a black comb, oops!
Back then, and the picture u show, are northshore rich brats who didn't want
togo to Viet Nam, your westside and southside rats were 2 busy burning down there hoods!
It made the 10:pm news great to watch !!
How many of those protesters have just moved inside to infest City Hall?
They are still trying to tell everyone else how to live. Unfortunately, they now have the police backing up their edicts. Who do you think wants bike trails? Red light cameras? Who do you think are the busy bodies telling you that joke is forbidden and tell it again and you will be fired? It is the same communists that were agitating in the streets in 1968.
Just ask Professor Dr. Bill Ayers, "Guilty as sin and Free as a Bird!"
History does repeat itself.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Those spoiled brats in the street, are now the leaders of the Democrat Party. Hillary, Bill, John Kerry, Ayers(who took it to the extreme and bombed places), Sanders, they ALL were active in the anti-war movement. They all hated America then and they hate it now, they want to change it and they have and will. We let them ruin the American Dream, and all that follow us will pay a Terrible Price to be citizens of the world; rather than Americans. Baby"G"
oh ... that's funny SCC ... you're a funny guy (or girl or transgender)

I would bet they are anything but Republicans, take a look at the nut Bernie Colonel Sanders. Republicans have jobs and not time to protest like useless Democrats and Socialists.
Now that's how you disperse a crowd of agitators and assholes.
Supes new nickname should be, Eddie..."The Stripper"...Johnson
YEEEEEEE HAAAAWWWWWWWW.......That was some fun times back then........
Awesome!!!! I don't need no stinking riot gear!!! Just my club and helmet!!!!!! F&$@ing hippies!!!!
The good ol' days
The good ole days when the police were the police !!!!!
1st class of 1966 here, good work, good times, good 33 years; only aggravation was having to find out someone named Burke was in the academy at the same time...no one ever saw him...
“ The police aren’t here to create disorder; the police are here to preserve disorder. ”
In case anyone doesn't know already, those are leaders (notice they are in front leading and supporting) in the White shirts, those fine looking men in the Blue shirts (notice they are following their leaders) are Police Officers! They are POLICING a situation where some citizens did not want to follow lawful orders (civil unrest/rioting/ or in today's terms organized protesting) and they took control. That is how you maintain law and order. I know most of us get it, just helping out a few who don't (and probably never will) get it.
My dad was one of the officers working that night. Great video. That's what should happen to the protesters today too.
Every officer there knew a relative, a friend, a neighbor, a coworker serving in Vietnam. Those rich commies from the burbs knew none. What did the the rich kids think would happen when the police saw them waving North Vietnamse flags. Bravo CPD
I'm betting that most of those long-haired freaks are now liberal educators filling the kids' heads with the bullshit dictated by the newest version of the Peace and Love crowd. Maybe Bill Ayres was in the crowd shot if he wasn't already hiding in Canada waiting for his Commonwealth Edison daddy to fix things for his return home. I remember that night well.
Nothing of concern here. I saw a bunch of spoiled draft dodgers getting what they deserved. My old FTO was a ppo that night after returning home from Vietnam. I'm still on the job and well versed in the wood shampoo.
Free Shamppo's for Everyone!
OMG ! Grandpa !
That was a fucking beautiful video... proud to have served as a cop!
Nice to see the good ole days of wood provided shampoos! Love to see the white shirt get clocked standing around just supervising the scene. Get ready boys and girls in white shirts summer is coming and there isn't enough blue shirts to cover you!!
"White shirts in the front! Those are true leaders!!"
Back then Sgts wore blue shirt with stripes.
LT & above wore white shirts.
So it was true leaders in front.
I remember seeing the squad cars with the taped up windows in the parking lot at Area 6 when it was on Damen and Grace. But that may have been for a later riot.
That looks like fun!
"Bunch of useless hippies. How much you wanna bet they're all republicans now?" You're dead on with that comment. Abbie Hoffman, of the Chicago 7, LOVED the Reagan era and thrived in it as a member of the "establishment". Some journalist asked him if he felt like a hypocrite with his two-kids, two-car upper middle class lifestyle and he pretty much told him to STFU.
My Dad was there.... but he retired 20 years ago.
Rahm and Eddie: go fuck yourselves!
Was that Bernie Sanders punching the Lt.?
To My Understanding, Not One Person Was Killed, During These Incidents.
Most newer guys on the job have no idea about this incident. To them the CPD began when they got hired.
"1968??? Shit, my parents weren't even born then!"
"Six areas??? Bullshit, we only have three."
"Call boxes??? Why not just use your iphone?"
Hell, to them Chicago didn't even exist until they arrived.
"Humboldt Park??? No, I live in Bucktown West."

Worked in 007 years ago, when police were "the police" the shitheads knew their place,disturbance call? The shitheads shuttered, gang units, sos, roll in they would cower and run like the cowards they are. I worked 711-713 in the 1980's was busy, but we had beat 735 where the "normal" law abiding black people lived that is where you went for a respite! Really miss the real type of policing that will never return, unless God willing Trump gets elected we get criminal hillary expect more and worse the war on police will look like a nuclear explosion took place we will be so hated!
Saw all my mentors and heroes from 20 was in high school, signed up to be police cadet, along with manny others.
Look at the Chicago Police Nazi Party
i distinctly heard one of the hippies say "if you want the street take it"
I was there. Good time was had by all.
Learned new tricks on how to communicate using wood.
A lot of young people -young police- don't realize that there were troops in the streets of Chicago. YOUTUBE has some interesting videos of the west side King riots. Different era. I started in the late 70's and worked with a lot of guys who were at those events. Those were really challenging times.

LOVE IT!!!!
We have the lawful authority to keep the street and public passages open and flowing for use by all. Protesters have no right, nor authority to obstruct the public way. They can protest all they want, THAT is their constitutionally guaranteed right, and rightfully so. Keep shouting, chanting and carrying signs to establish your point, and attempt to make change, but keep moving and keep the public way flowing. If not; fall in on me-- Drumstep, Drumstep, move move move, jab, jab, jab, grab, pull to the rear and arrest.
The golden pansies and political hacks will never do it. Ah, old school!
Supt. Johnson wants to go back and strip the pensions and benefits from the Officers for Mayor Rahms peoples! I thought I saw Phather Phaker in the background!
Blue blender!
Ah The Good Old Days, Where Police were the Police.
Thanks for the fun vid!!!
This should be a training video for future protesters. I bet they will think twice before they decide to get out of hand.
8 police officers were indicted for federal civil rights violations during the 1968 DNC riot. They were all acquitted but let's not pretend the good old days were the gold standard for law and order. Throwing coppers under the bus is nothing new.
I was lucky enough to have an FTO who was a viet nam vet, and my 1st regular partner for years, was a viet nam vet.
Lucky indeed.
When politicians were men, lead by example.
Get off the street, or get a wood shampoo. "FUCK YOU COP!" *DING!* time to ring a hippie's bell...
watch them all run like lemmings...
Compare and contrast with the Trump-bullshit that happened recently... so sad what's happened to Chicago...
"The police are not there to create disorder. The police are there to preserve disorder."

I came on in 1965 and went thru the MLK riots, the Democratic Convention, Division Street riots, humboldt park riots, the Weathmen, not to mention the Black Panthers and their shoot out with the police at their headquarters atWestern and Madison and I really feel the job is more challenging now because of all the bullshit. Was completely different because of the attitude of both the po's and the bosses
That 311 Office is full of s---!! You can't get a hold of right place if one's call should be redirected...but the recorded message will tell you to call in Sept. for a one day only request for a new furnace. Give me break...Stupid,stupid. Where is that Rahm??....probably riding around in his baby brother's Uber car as baby makes tons of money and puts Taxi Drivers out of work...

4/27/2016 05:39:00 AM
What riot gear. I was there. We had no riot gear. You did with what you had. During the MLK riots you had shit until they finally handed out some old civil defense helmets like the British used in WW2 when the were bombing England. Rode 4 in a car everyone carried any shotgun, carbine or any weapon you brought from home. No vest, no radios and now whining
There are many excellent comments on here, but there are few that discredit what actually happened. Many police knew someone who was there that night. I do believe it looks like fun, but there would be guns, gangs, and black bloc in the protestors now. Looks like some cops could have easily been swept up in the crowd. But then there is this comment that goes beyond pride on this job and discredits the whole thread-
"My dad was one of the officers working that night. Great video. That's what should happen to the protesters today too."
I'm not discrediting your father. I have a problem with the fact that you said "that's what should happen to the protestors today too." That is the pure opposite of what this country stands for. If you protest your government you are exercising your constitutional right. As cops as a whole, we need to get thicker skin. Protestors are not bad. Vandalism and destruction of property discredits the protest. To say you would like to do this to protestors shows your ignorance to what was happening at the time. I have been on both sides of these lines. I bet you never served in the military ( just a guess) but your comment points more toward someone who just wanted to be a cop, but ended up in the wrong era. You are not your dad. If you do this to ptotestors now, it may be fun, but undermines the fundamental foundation this country was founded on. I'm not saying that pieces of shit on a day to day basis don't need the shit knocked out of them, but in situations like this, talk all the shit you want, just don't touch me. When the order to clear the street is given, clear the street. Refusal to move, grab, drag back, arrest- next. Line moves forward like a vacuum. Grab people who throw shit. If you can't, duck and move on.
12:21pm - Yes sir, there were NO fatalities in Chicago but 4 were killed during the Republican convention rioting in Miami. The lame stream media back then supported Nixon instead of Humphrey because of CPD's tactics and Lyndon Johnson's continuation of the bombing in Vietnam.
To this day, the convention is described as a police riot & Miami is never even mentioned.
Just ask Walter Jacobson.
My dad was there rip just used his big hands, he said I have kids of my own he told me, ww2 vet.
Let's not compare protesters from the 60's to protesters of today. In the 60's they wanted confrontations and a fight. Prior to the convention protesters gathered and practiced tactics. They practices snake lines and how confront the police many had gas masks and other had filters for the gas which they expected to get. Today the protesters aren't usually armed. This idiots were armed. They had baseball bats with nails sticking out among other weapons
Protesters have the right to protest within the law. Get a permit and abide by your protest permit. Laying down in the street, looting, arson, blocking the doors to merchants places of business are not lawful protest they are law breaking protest. Your right to protest does not give you the right to disrupt the lives of working tax paying residents. The police should beat you and your law breaking savages into submission. This would not be called a police state it would be called a lawful civilized society. When your arrested for just speaking out against authority without breaking any laws, that would be a police state. Get a job and provide for yourself and those you created and you will soon appreciate the service provided by the police.
Webbed barb wire battering rams, hate to be the bug caught in that web.
Saw a lot of assholes attacking the cops - even a white shirt got punched by some jag. They definitely were in need of a good kick in the ass. Sad to think that now you'd see all the coward bosses locked away safely in their fusion center or command trailer while they order the troops to let the protesters beat their asses and retreat.

That's correct. There is actually a book by the name NO ONE WAS KILLED about the '68 convention.
I was there wearing one of those green uniforms. Man I just loved those jeeps with the barbed wire cages on the front. I remember pushing a few thousand people north on Michigan Ave. from about 18th back to Grant Park. Hell, we almost ran out of CS!!
Ah the good old days. We could never drive past Michigan & Balbo without my partner yelling CHARGE!
I was there. Big fun. Lots of wooden shampoos.
Those were the days!!!!
When Police were Police !

"Today the protestors aren't usually armed." Hell yes they are!
Urine filled jars, rocks they bring with them or pre-plant, razor knives to cut the bridles or legs of police horses and even fiebombs. Yes many do come armed and will mixed in with a non-violent group, do damage, whip them up then escape into the crowd after goading cops into reactions caught on video.
Cool! When police could be the police!
My have times changed
God bless you all~ you have a very tough job!
