Kamala Harris–Tim Walz DNC: The only thing that could kill the vibes at the Democratic National Convention.

Slate  

The 2024 Democratic National Convention starts this week, but the date lurking in the back of everyone’s mind is 1968. The 1968 convention is remembered primarily for the riots that raged over the course of five days, as protesters battled with an astonishing force of police and military stationed around the event site: 11,900 Chicago police; 7,500 Army troops; 7,500 Illinois National Guardsmen; and 1,000 Secret Service agents. On the night before the convention began, anti-war protesters, who had set up an encampment in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, 10 miles from the amphitheater, were besieged by police wielding billy clubs and tear gas. The police violence escalated throughout the week and crested on the convention’s penultimate day, in what has been called “the battle of Michigan Avenue.” There, cops severely assaulted a number of innocent bystanders, medical professionals and doctors, members of the press, and anti-war protesters—all of which was recorded live and broadcast on national television.
