...major Negro riot, open housing marches led by Martin Luther King, counter-demonstrations by George Lincoln Rockwell, and the Speck massacre: each crisis made the policeman's job more hectic and trying. But during the summer, the police faced another, less-noticed problem-the rise of the Mighty Blackstone Rangers, a well-organized, tightly - disciplined street gang, which, according to police statistics, is the toughest and most violent teenage group ever to roam Chicago's South Side.
