Detroit Inquiry Finds Racist Tension Fueled Unplanned Riots
A governor's fact finding panel says last June’s Detroit race disturbances were not premeditated or directed by any group. It cites racial tension inflamed by isolated incidents and a false rumor by Leo Tipton that whites killed a black woman and child on Belle Isle. Thirty four died and hundreds injured. The report blames random youths on both sides and notes Tipton’s incitement sparked looting and violence. Prosecution officials say evidence has not supported a grand jury probe. The panel believes the riot could have been limited if not for Tipton’s statement.
