I was 8 yrs. old then and could hear gunfire and see flames from my upstairs bedroom window. It was a very sad time. I also recall the military pulling up in their tanks and taking over. No films of the US military there?
Look up "The Woolies". They did the score for this film. Garage bands were big in the mid to late Sixties and they did some instrumentals that were killer. Not "beats" either; they hand-made their music. I think this and Part 1 are not all of the film. I'd like to see a better print of this put on UA-cam. You may have to get the Michigan State Police to send a reel to someone for cleaning and editing. Else it's a good video.

Can you post the whole thing or is this all? Fascinating footage that I haven't seen before. Thanks for posting!

The accompanying music is absotively outta sight! They just don't play like that anymore!
I find it interesting that this one and the riot in Newark were almost happening at the same time. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Love that music.
People involved in the riot would be in their 60's by now. Any of them still alive and still there?
