The thing is, the man with the gun referred to in the "For What It's
Worth" lyric mentioned above IS 'the man', e.g. a cop; the song was
written after the police went on a wild rampage against a group of college
kids who were having a peaceful block party one summer day, resulting in
the death of one of the party-goers as the result of the police firing
into the unarmed crowd...
So the 'growing anti-cop sentiment' was NOT all that 'absurd'...

You obviously did not live thru those times...
'Hippies' were self-centered, only interested in what made them
individually 'feel good', and whose political and social awareness only
extended to what was personally comfortable, and no further...they would
rather sit around and 'think good thoughts' than put any effort into
making any substantial change in the world, especially if such change
meant THEY would have to make any sacrifices...
Hippies evolved into yuppies...
