At the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, anti-Vietnam War protesters clashed with police officers whose brutal role in the confrontation was later described by a federal commission as a police riot hijacking the focus of the convention.
Before the convention, Rennie Davis, one of the organizers, told The New York Times, 'No denial of a permit is going to prevent the tens of thousands of people who are coming to Chicago from expressing their convictions on these issues.'
