Riot Control Training 101 — a memoir

Not surprisingly, given the circumstances in South Africa now, earlier today my wife and I were discussing the violence as well as the newly ordered deployment of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). This deployment is now being carried out in several parts of the nation in response to a growing tide of violence, looting, and more general civil turmoil. What, exactly, SANDF personnel are going to do, what kind of orders and assignments will they have, what training might they have had, and how they will carry out their mission all became big questions in our conversation. As it turns out, improbable as it may seem to some, I actually had first-hand experience (and training) in demonstrations and riot/crowd control efforts and from both sides of the barricades. Through the early part of the 1970s, university student protests against the Vietnam conflict were becoming increasingly routine on many US campuses, and those were in addition to a series of major protest ralli

51 Years Later, Brother Of Kent State Victim Reflects On Iconic Photo — And One That Just Emerged

Originally published on May 19, 2021 6:18 pm One of the most iconic photos in American history was taken 51 years ago on May 4, 1970. It was the day when armed National Guard troops were called to confront unarmed college students at a peaceful anti-Vietnam War protest at Kent State University in Ohio. Over 13 seconds, they fired 67 shots, grievously injuring nine students and killing four, including 20-year-old Jeffrey Miller. Kneeling over Jeffrey Miller in that unforgettable photograph sometimes referred to as the Kent State Pietà is 14-year-old runaway Mary Ann Vecchio, her arms extended in anguish as he dies. Jeffrey Miller’s brother, Russ Miller, can’t escape the picture, taken by John Filo, that freezes his brother in time. But recently, a new photograph that he has never seen before brought him joy.

The first is that other American soldiers and I stationed in what was then South Vietnam in spring 1970 cheered President Nixon when on April 30 he announced the invasion of Cambodia.

Piece of Mind: A Photo Changed The Nation

John Filo Does the name Mary Ann Vecchio ring a bell with you? Does it strike a familiar note? Hmmm … ? It didn’t hit me, either, until I opened up a story online from the Washington Post Magazine. I read about Mary Ann Vecchio, who as the author of the Post piece described her, was the most well-known mystery person on Earth. You’ve seen the picture, yes? That’s her, kneeling over a young Kent State University student who had just been shot by National Guard troops on the Ohio campus. The students were protesting the Vietnam War on May 4, 1970. I had thought all along that Vecchio was one of those student protesters. She wasn’t. She just happened to be, as the saying goes, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
