detroit
I lied through the riot in Detroit, I was 17 at the time
and saw the army jeeps with machine guns on back
patrolling my street. I also saw white and black people
together looting stores laughing at the police who were ordered to do nothing. My father was on the police reserve and was told to ride on a fire truck with his 12
gage shotgun, when people were sniping with rifles
from tall buildings. My good friend in the army reserves
came to get my 30-30 to guard the gasoline tanks, he was given a gun from the army with no bullets. It was the worst time in memory in what at the time was a decent city. I have no desire to relive that time, every house on my block had a gun close at hand, it was a week of sleepless nights.
