520 |a Thirty years ago, three black men were killed and nine other people brutally beaten by, as John Hersey describes it , an "aggregate of Detroit police, Michigan State Troopers, National Guardsmen, and private guards who had been directed to the scene."

By the time the interrogators left, three men had been shot to death and the others, including the women, beaten.
