Overview The "Alger Motel Incident" from the night of July 26 to the early morning of July 26, 1967 occurred in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The hotel is only one mile away from 12th Street where the riots took place. The suspicious point of the incident so far is that three black male teenagers were shot and killed. There are many explanations for the whole incident. This article refers to the wiki and the memoirs of the person concerned, and only seeks to restore it objectively, so as to save everyone the time to check and translate the information. After all, I am neither the person involved nor a journalist. Finally, let me talk about my own views. -----------------------------------------Basically equivalent to the history of spoilers- -------------------------------------------------- - The background of the incident The incident occurred during the famous 12th Street Riot in Detroit. The cause of the 12th Street riots was that the Detroit police raided an illegally operating underground bar (Blind Pig). At that time, the Detroit police consisted of 93% of white people, and bars were opened by blacks, with mostly black customers. At that time, they were receiving the wind for a soldier who had returned from the Vietnam War. Therefore, the task of "checking illegally operating taverns" was unreasonable by drunken customers. The behavior, the brutal police words and deeds, and the instigation of onlookers turned into a riot of an ethnic conflict. One of the prominent conflicts was that the son of the owner of Blind Pig threw a glass bottle at the police in the chaos, which is also widely believed to be the fuse of the incident. The government’s negative handling of the incident (including setting curfews, etc.) did not effectively control the riots. On the contrary, the blacks who had already suffered from racial differentiation and discrimination began to gradually lose control. A large number of buildings were burned down, and there were also attacks on police and police. Firefighter incident. The Michigan government even used the National Guard, state police, and army forces to control the development of the riots. Algiers Motel (Algiers Motel) Algiers Motel is a joint operation of two black owners. It is famous for drug abuse, harbouring criminal gangs, and allowing sex transactions, so it is often checked by the police. The hotel is in the shape of a'U', with an office, a swimming pool, and a terrace on the left, and a two-story guest room on the right. The parking lot is surrounded by it. The core story of the movie takes place in the manor house at the bottom of the U shape. The manor house faces the street, so you can see the blocks in the distance. The core characters (the movie counterparts in parentheses) At that time, the hotel was a mixed bag, and later on, many official forces stepped in, so I first sort out. Three dead: Carl Cooper (headband man, shot across the street in the movie, was the first to be killed), 17 years old, died of shooting. Aubrey Pollard (white clothes in the movie, the second killed), 19 years old, died of shooting. Fred Temple, 18 years old, died of gunshot (the green shirt in the movie was released by the army through the back door). Two white women: Juli Hysell (the one who was more sturdy after being bullied in the movie, and then the corner of his eye was knocked out), 18 years old. Karen Malloy (screaming wildly in the movie, and then getting her skirt torn off), 18 years old. A veteran: Robert Greene (played by the handsome Anthony Mackie! In the movie, he just wanted to have sex but was framed as a pimp), 26 years old, participated in the Vietnam War. Two singers: Larry Reed (a male lead who loves to sing and pick up girls), a member of the group'The Dramatics'. Roderick Davis (the little brother who has no girl's love), the combination of'The Dramatics' member three police officers: David Senak (devil brother), Robert Paille (North American Zhu Xiaotian), Ronald August (the honest man back the pot). A security guard: Melvin Dismukes (good-hearted old man). Four armies: Pillip Martin, John Fonger, Archie Davies, and Hubert Rosema. Other guests: Michael Clark, Lee Forsythe, James Sortor, and Charles Moore. According to testimony, a group of young people headed by Carl was listening to music on the second floor. Carl fired two shots out of the window with a starting gun. It didn’t take long for real bullets to fly out of the window, breaking the windows of the room. . A group of young people were frightened and went back to their rooms. The building was quickly surrounded by gun teams. At this time, the first shooting occurred. Carl fell down. People who entered the building later said in their testimony that Carl had died when they entered the door. So far, no one has explained why Carl was killed, but judging from the wounds and bullets, he was injured by a gun issued by the Detroit Police Department. As the National Guard, state police, and security guards who entered the building relatively later said that Carl had died when they arrived. In the subsequent trial, the police's lawyers have been trying to prove that Carl was killed by the tenant of the hotel, and the two policemen who first entered the building refused to admit to the murder, and Carl's death became an unsolved case. Then came the longest pen and ink part of the film: all the guests were lined up facing the wall, violent, arraigned, intimidated, and threatened respectively. Many of them were forced to pick knives from the ground in order to make excuses for the police to kill. The two women were stripped naked and were also called'nigger lover'. During the interrogation, a policeman brought a teenager into the room, ordered him to be quiet, then fired a shot, then returned to the corridor and declared the teenager dead. After that, several police officers and guards repeated their old tricks until Ronald August brought 19-year-old Aubrey into the room and actually shot him. Later, as gunshots continued to occur in other places, most of the police force shifted. The last two police officers threatened the remaining guests one by one, saying that if they remained silent, they would not die. Afterwards, the guests all escaped from the hotel. Temple, who was only 18 years old, never returned until he was found in a room in the corpse hotel the next day. On the second day of the incident, the police officer did not report the death to the police station until the body was found by the security guards. After the incident was exposed by the media, all those interviewed anonymously said that no one shot the gun among the dead. After the three corpses were examined by a pathologist, they were all believed to have been killed by two consecutive shots from a close range of the back. Dismukes, a black security guard, was accused of assaulting two guests. Pay 1500 bail to leave. Police officers August and Paille later pleaded guilty, saying that they had participated in the shooting and spent one day in jail. They were released on bail of $5,000. In the subsequent trial, a guard identified two police officers, August and Senak, and shot and violently killed them respectively. August’s reasoning was that he fired the gun out of legitimate self-defense. Senak said he did not see any police officers shooting. As the testimony of the parties later subpoenaed was not uniform, Judge DeMascio convicted August of homicide, and the case of Paille and Senak was put on hold. In August of that year, Dismukes, Paille, and Senak were arrested for conspiracy, but the case was eventually disbanded. At the end, police officer Paille (Zhu Xiaotian in North America) did a lot of physical work and sold insurance. Officer Senak (the Great Devil) opened a construction company. Officer August resigned. Security guard Dismukes was threatened by the Black Panthers' death many times and eventually moved out of Detroit. Lippitt, the notorious defense lawyer at the time, became a judge in Oakland County and now enforces law in Michigan. Larry never returned to the group, but was the lead singer in the church choir. -------------------------------------------------- ---Some afterthoughts------------------------------------------- ------------------ one. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with class. Although the Detroit riots are still labeled as racial conflicts, after reading it, I always feel that it is black and white, and vice versa. In the final analysis, the conflict begins with the class itself. Because the class is so stable, the black people who are forced to desperately burn their homes even in the riots. What a desperate resistance. Since home is no longer a home, since there is no way out, it is better to simply destroy everything. It is a pity that there is always no shortage of people who are too honest. If you go to the supermarket to buy something, you will be killed by the police as criminals. Some people are too radical, just like sabotage and arson, and don't care about the purpose. I can’t help wondering, why in China’s so many class struggles, the oppressed always win out in the end, and there hasn’t been an organized and large-scale armed struggle since the blacks have fought. The conclusion is that black people who believe in God will be more honest than Chinese people who believe in God. The history of the United States is like this. At first, black people did not even have human rights. Later, after the Civil War, they had human rights. Later, it was discovered that companions with human rights were still at the bottom of society, so they began to protest. We want social security and we want fair competition. What about the US government? Let me introduce you to trouble for a while, knowing that you will only do damage, and when the damage is almost done, the suppression that should be suppressed, the comfort that should be soothed, and then symbolically change one or two decree, just like this, you can still support ten more. Years, fifty years. Fifty years later, the reason for the riots was forgotten. The black people celebrated their increasing rights, so they thought it was the right way. Until now, they have continued the same crying, two making trouble, three hanging, beating. The habit of making trouble to reform. And looking at the peasant uprisings of the past generations in our country, it has never been'we should ask the government more what we want', but,'mother, you can't live anymore, brothers and gangs copy the guys, let's overthrow it! '. The starting point is different, the morale is very different. Moreover, the Chinese people have been paranoid about their own land since ancient times, so they can sacrifice everything for their own land, and the king and Lao Tzu are not afraid. The honest and kind black people have been instilled since childhood. Our long history of oppression is that our heroes are all fighters like Martin Luther King Jr. who helped us improve our status in the white society. Therefore, we have to strike more and more. To engage in demonstrations, we must fight for class rights. As everyone knows, in a'democratic' society, the meaning given to strikes and demonstrations is no different from that of crying children asking for candy. They firmly believe that the purpose of the struggle is to make the government evenly distribute the sugar in its hands, not to think that they should grab the sugar and become the one who divides the sugar. So I say they are kind and honest, and a little timid and lazy. Of course, they have never been forced to jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, I can get the subsistence allowance, find a job, have more children, and work more jobs to make ends meet. In the ancient peasant uprisings in our country, it was known for a long time that they would die if they didn't overthrow the regime, they would face the possibility of starvation. Therefore, the US government has always been good at boiling frogs in warm water. You jump up and down to beg for food. Yes, I cook you while feeding you something to eat. Before you are cooked, you feel that you are about to come and eat something amazing. Over time, I think my life pursuit is to eat, rather than jumping out of this pot. horrible. horrible. Think about the black people in the bars, wearing clothes that have been popular in the upper class, drinking, smoking, and playing billiards, and they feel cute. Do you still want to live like this? Live like a person who oppresses you but is envious of you. horrible. 2. Checks and balances of rights It is the superior of the National Guard who has a deep memory. When he saw the police officer's crazy behavior in the hotel, he told his subordinates who came to beg to come forward. The police also have human rights. Let them take care of this case by themselves. Then waved to retreat. There were also army soldiers who had discovered their conscience. They put towels on the stripped girls and escorted them to a safe place, but they did not stand up to stop the atrocities all night. If you don't mix things up, is it also aiding the abuse? 3. The hateful middleman climbed to the roof of the car during the riot, and the black congressman who persuaded everyone to calmly resist was smashed into the car by the mob. The security guard Dismukes, who wanted to mediate the conflict, was despised by his companions, thinking that he was kneeling and licking the police, and he was living in death threats all the time. Members and security guards are smart people. They know that in some cases, life-saving comes first, and posture comes second. And such people are always despised by both ends. The police thought, okay, there is a face-to-face, then we will give you a push and give you a back. The young guy who was rescued by him and the guests of the hotel felt like, which side is your boy on, and why do you want to do things for them in a humble manner? The middleman is often kind and smart, but very lonely. Because they have no teammates. On the top is the power system of collusion between officials and officials, and on the bottom are the puzzled people. The parliamentarians mediating and the security sending coffee to the army are clever lobbyists, trying to erase the hatred of the two groups and understand each other. But no one understands them. They can only live in solitude. 4. Some unforgettable scenes 1. The little girl opened the blinds to look at the army. The scared soldier thought it was a sniper, and fired anxiously. 2. The young man who had been shot twice in the back lay under the car, begging grandma not to call the police with his last strength, because it was the police who wanted to kill him. 3. The security guard Dismukes poured coffee for the soldiers. The two looked at the dead street and asked,'How long do you say it will be like this', and replied,'I don't know either.' 4. When a veteran was interrogated by a police officer, he took out his retirement certificate. The madman policeman said,'Fake? '5. The frightened travelers began to pray one after another. 6. The madman police officer stuck the gun into the girl's skirt. 7. The foreman of the church choir said to Larry who came to apply for the job, "You are so good, why don't you go to those clubs to sing." Larry said,'There are policemen over there, it's not safe'. 8. During the trial, when faced with questions from lawyers, all the parties seemed to have made a mistake, stammering and lacking confidence. After being found not guilty, Senak, the madman police officer, shook hands with his colleagues who came to congratulate him. Conclusion: Riot in New Yorker magazine has an article that director Kathryn Bigelow in the opening part of the black riot is too conceptual, does not highlight the individual in the group, is a typical white director's perspective. On the contrary, I think the best thing about the movie is the restoration of the riot without a protagonist at the beginning. Riots are called riots because they are unorganized, undisciplined, and do not have a clear face. Maybe some people just want to smash a car after drinking too much, and some people just want to get a piece of the pie when they see the shop being robbed. Some people just like chaos, some just want to be handsome in front of their friends, so they fired two starting guns across the street. Everyone only did a little bit of evil. If you were standing on the roof of the car and giving a speech, you wouldn't know who yelled out the words "shameless" at you, or who smashed the street light. Yes, you can arrest everyone. But the result? The police station is full, the prison is full, and everyone is not guilty of death. Just like those who were killed by online violence, every perpetrator felt that they were just fanning the flames. The movie featured the black boy who threw a bottle at the policeman. History also believes that this is the initiator of the riots. But is this really because of a bottle? What makes an ordinary search tense? What makes black people can only meet in an underground bar? What makes the police always act rough when facing black people, with fear and a sense of superiority? What makes black people gather in one area? What makes Detroit so hierarchical? What makes black people work as workers, security guards, and entertainers? Everyone knows it well, but no one can explain it. This is the riot. It obviously has a deeper cause, but it is attributed to a wine bottle smashed by the police. According to history, it is the fault of the bottle. The bottle is broken, and history is still playing today. 'I asked you, why did you shoot him? ''How do I know why he runs so fast, maybe there is a gun in his bag. 'Is this familiar? He'may' have a gun. But from beginning to end, whose waist is the gun? Whose body is the bullet in? I hope everyone keeps your eyes open, the story of Detroit, 50 years later, will still happen around us.
