found: Wikipedia, June 10, 2010(Rochester 1964 race riot; The Rochester 1964 riot was a riot that occurred in 1964 in Rochester, N.Y. In the early evening of Friday, July 24, 1964, the Rochester Police Department attempted to arrest a 19 year-old intoxicated black male at a street block party and dance. The police response to the call included a K-9 Corps dog. Rumors alleging police brutality action against African-Americans spread quickly, and an angry crowd formed on Joseph Avenue and became violent. The riot broke out in two of Rochester's predominantly African-American wards, near the location of the intersection of Nassau Street and Joseph Avenue, as well as downtown. Peace was restored after three days, but only after Governor Nelson Rockefeller called out the New York National Guard, the first such use of the Guard in a northern city. By the time the disturbance was over, four were dead (three in a helicopter crash) and 350 injured. Almost a thousand people were arrested and 204 stores were either looted or damaged.)
