"Johnson assured those at the news conference that police would not enforce the curfew with armored trucks and tear gas but would communicate with protesters and give them ample opportunity to leave. Nixon and Johnson were flanked by numerous local elected officials, including U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., who urged Johnson to be flexible with the midnight curfew."

"On Friday night, Greg Thomas didn’t see the familiar faces of protesters who have taken to the streets each night this week. Instead, he saw new people, younger, more eager for a confrontation with police. The 28-year-old former Marine said he left as quickly as he could when he heard people talking about getting their handguns.
“There’s three agendas out there,” Thomas said. “People who want to party, people who want to be martyrs and get killed by police, and the people here to protest.”"
"Nixon said the U.S. Department of Justice is beefing up its civil rights investigation of the shooting."
I realize that the timelines are a bit off but does anyone else get a strange,deja vu creepy feeling when reading an article from 2014 including the names Nixon,Johnson,& the Black Panthers.And then Justice Department and civil rights investigation?
It's almost like a bad Hollywood re-make joke.
