Ois avow a Is of violence have been made r peatedly by many top American offi,ials. Pre sident Johnson and Vice President Humphrey, for example, have denounced rioting and rioters on a number of occasions, and so have mony civil -rights figures. However, police officials, local political leaders and som e members of Congress cite statements such as those above as part of the climate tha t hos fostered violence. In addition are the pamphlets and other publications flowing into Negro areas and openly inciting slum dwellers to guerrilla war. One pamphlet from Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM) says : "Weapons of defense employed by AfroAmerican freedom fighters must consist of a p oor man's arsenal. Gasoline fire bombs (Molotov cocktails), lye or acid bombs (made by injecting lye or acid in the metal end of light bulbsl can be used extensively Ex tensive sabotag e 1s possible ." �DIAGNOSIS OF A RIOT CLEVELAND-A grand jury's report makes this diagnosis of the racial violence that ra mpaged through Cleveland this summer, killing four and causing millions of dollars in p roperty damage: Trained profession als.
