Ken White can tell you the story from a military and police standpoint, since he was on the professional team that went in and managed to bring some order to chaos.from David
Now a long time ago, how about the deployment of US troops in the USA, during the rioting in Detroit and elsewhere? Was preparation for criminal trials excluded?
My experience was post-Ken's (by a couple of weeks), as part of the editorial team from Michigan Law Review that investigated and wrote up a report on the legal aspects - which I don't think is online.
Very simply, Detroit in its legal aspects (particularly, perservation of evidence) was well beyond "Fugged up".
