The southside was more than half black and when I graduated from St. Petersburg High School in 1968 my class was about 40% black. Whites and black got along for the most part and we respected the police. I think it's just a cop out when people excuse this attitude and behavior as a 'ghetto thing'.

I don't think you can compare St. Petersburg 45 years ago to present day Miami. I grew up in Miami and I wouldn't even compare 1968 Miami to 2013 Miami.
