Recall the riots in Chicago in 1968 during the Democratic Convention.

From Wiki:

After the Chicago protests, the demonstrators were confident that the majority of Americans would side with them over what had happened in Chicago, especially because of police behavior. They were shocked to learn that controversy over the war in Vietnam overshadowed their cause. [13] Daley shared he had received 135,000 letters supporting his actions and only 5000 condemning them. Public opinion polls demonstrated that the majority of Americans supported the Mayor's tactics. [29] It was often commented through the popular media that on that evening, America decided to vote for Richard Nixon. [30]
