Top of the Ticket tells us that the cops on duty at that time are planning a reunion, and may be joined by some of the whompees:
And so naturally, Chicago being Chicago, today in Obama's adopted hometown the aging city policemen who were on duty that violent week and their contemporary colleagues are gathering for a fun reunion for old time's sake at the Fraternal Order of Police Hall out on West Washington.That may end up looking like the Maxine Waters/David Obey "Battle of the Geriatric Congresspersons" on the House floor yesterday.
And you'll never guess what else?
The aging, long-haired protesters who so angered the father of today's Chicago mayor (Richard M. Daley) are also gathering in that city now to -- wait for it -- protest the officers celebrating the reunion for beating up the same folks who were protesting back then.
The protesters protesting the police who beat the protesters held a news conference this week to denounce what they call provocative language used by the police who say they're celebrating officers "for their contributions toward maintaining law and order -- and for taking a stand against Anarchy."
The protesters' news conference this week had folks from the old National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam and relatives of Black Panthers. Lots of old faces were there; and we do mean old.
Even Don Rose was there, a committee spokesman, oh, those many years ago. And he's sure got a whole lot less hair now.
The whole gang of protesters is gonna gather this evening at Union Park and then, you guessed it, they're gonna march out to confront the police at the reunion celebrating their last confrontation last century.
It should be a great time sharing old memories.
Hopefully, someone remembers to bring the tear gas and bags of human excrement so they can have something familiar to throw at each other again just like the old days.
