As a labor historian it might have been more complete to mention the dynamite bomb thrown at the police in the 1886 Haymarket Affair which killed 8 police officers. Interesting omission.
Wikipedia: On June 26, 1893, Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld signed pardons for Fielden, Neebe, and Schwab after having concluded all eight defendants were innocent. The governor said the reason for the bombing was the city of Chicago's failure to hold Pinkerton guards responsible for shooting workers. The pardons ended his political career. The police commander who ordered the dispersal was later convicted of police corruption. The bomb thrower was never identified.
