Army Uses Numeric Tactics to Quell Riot Violence
Washington reports that the Army has found it better to outnumber rioters than to outshoot them as civil disorder sweeps across more than 100 cities after the death of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Swift mobilization of federal troops and National Guardsmen targeted looting and arson, with tear gas widely used and gunfire largely avoided. The force included about 66,000 soldiers nationwide and 32,000 guardsmen, while casualties ran high in previous riots in Newark and Detroit.

The movement gains momentum after Dutschke is shot, provoking wider unrest.
