(53,219 posts)yes it was accurate, though I think things were far worse than the movie portrays. Mayor Daley was like a mob boss and the way he treated the delegates at the convention was appalling. Then he set his thugs on the protestors in the park. He gave police the authority to be violent and even lethal. The police were randomly bashing heads.
We didn't know how bad some of it was until footage came out much later. I've only voted republican one time in my life and that was to vote against that monster.
Yes, I'm sure there has always been a war against the left and it is more in the public eye when the left fights back like in the sixties. It is really a resistance to change and the ongoing struggle between those in power against those who threaten that power.
