These riots were co-opted by various Leftist Groups like the Black Panthers and Weather Underground. You have returning men and women in Uniform from Vietnam being attacked. Police stations were being bombed. Political assassinations were happening of various public and civic leaders. Plus, we have the pendulum swinging. It swings from hands on policing to hands off policing. People think the police are harsh and want us hands off. So we go hands off and shit gets bad. Then they plead for strong enforcement of the law and love us when we do it. That happened in the 1960s and the pendulum swung the other way by the late 1980s with the war on drugs. As for the political side of getting leftists into positions like Attorney Generals, DA, SAs, etc.... same deal. It happened back in the past. You have radical Leftists elected into various public offices. The economy was starting to slow down and jobs were getting hard. Again, same deal right now. Times right now suck. But this country survived the 1960s. We will survive this. Where are all the white commies in these pictures? Not quite the same thing I'm thinking.
