Kent State shootings
I was a grad student at UW in Seattle in 1970 when the Kent State shootings happened. Just prior to that there was a police riot on campus by hooded off-duty cops. They beat up hippies with their clubs, so we were already damn pissed off when the Kent State news broke. There a huge gathering on campus outside the HUB, boiling with all the outrage we could muster. Then we marched in force from there to downtown and the Federal Building to register our complaint. It was a remarkable time.

Interstate 5 gets invaded by protesters.

Coragyps is right. Cops hated hippies. I was attacked on the street in 1970 by two Nixonian pricks for having a peace sign on my backpack. They called it "the footprint of the American chicken." I threw my bicycle up on the hood their car and scratched it up pretty good. When the cops came they sided with the pricks.
