Just by the time, Vice-President Herbert Humphrey was declared as the presidential candidate, The protesters strongly objected to this announcement and there was bloodshed all over the streets of Chicago which involved the Police, Protesters, and Bystanders.
By the time night arrived, the protest was even more fired up as there was a direct confrontation between the police and protesters and police was clearing the crowd by thrashing bystanders also.
