Suburban Riots

There were several of these sort of 'police vs. hippies' "riots" that took place around the country in the late '60s and early '70s. The most famous, of course, was the Sunset Strip riots in L.A. that inspired Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth". Other similar disturbances in the Detroit area that I can remember took place in Balduck Park and Hines Park.
