National Commission on Violence investigators labeled Chicago confrontations outside the Democratic convention a police riot citing overwhelming police violence. Mayor Daley defended officers while Abbie Hoffman praised the findings, and the commission stressed the report was preliminary and not officially approved.
Daley defends police after report calls DNC actions a riot
Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley responded tersely to a national commission report labeling the August disorders at the Democratic National Convention a police riot. The panel credited most officers with restraint but criticized some orders and noted a killer stance in the press. Daley supported the study overall though he raised reservations about parts of the summary. Abbie Hoffman welcomed the report while doubting its practical impact on policing. Supt Conlisk declined to comment on the 113 000 worn document while civil liberties groups voiced mixed reactions. Senator Percy called the report provocative and controversial yet potentially useful for apportioning past blame.
