The Detriot Riot of 1967 was a riot that was started after police tried to break up a party for a veteran that was happening after drinking hours. There were around eight people at the bar and the police tried to arrest them all. People began to protest around the bar and try to fight off the police. This happened in a primarly black neighborhood, and racism was still a problem. The police were very brutal in trying to make this arrest. As the word spread about the arrest people began to set fires and vandalize. It only took 48 hours for the national guard to be called in. It took five days for the police to get the city back under control. After this happened 43 people had died, 1189 had been injured, and then 7000 people were arrested.
