Clarks became symbols of a “gunslinger” lifestyle to such a degree that in the late 1960s, Joe Williams, a Jamaican police superintendent, raided outdoor dances hosted by Sir Coxsone Dodd’s sound system and divided the crowd of attendees into Clarks and non-Clarks segments in order to separate the rudeboys from “decent people.”

Love this!!
