- kelnos 5y agoWow, I'd never heard about this, but just read the Wikipedia blurb[0]. It doesn't appear to be established fact that the bomb was indeed placed by the police, but it doesn't seem like it would have been surprising if they had. Pretty shameful that Mayor Alioto override the Supes and caved to the police's demands rather than calling in the National Guard and taking the entire striking force into custody. But I guess people don't always make the best decisions while their lives are being threatened...
