DoJ releases its Tulsa race massacre report over 100 years after initial review
DoJ report acknowledges attack ‘was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence’
DoJ report acknowledges attack ‘was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence’
The DoJ’s findings acknowledged the role of Tulsa law enforcement in the massacre, including that of Tulsa police who “deputized hundreds of white residents, many of whom – immediately before being awarded a badge – had been drinking and agitating for [a lynching]”. According to the report, more than 500 men were deputized in less than 30 minutes.
he was told he “could now ‘go out and shoot any [N-word] you see and the law’ll be behind you’”.
NOW TEACH IT IN SCHOOLS SO WE ALL KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE
In Oklahoma? With Trump in the White House?
Good luck with that. It took an HBO superhero series for most people in Tulsa to learn about it.
SO WE ALL KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE
'Are'? They're dead. 'Were'.
Or are you going after some sins-of-the-father thing?
Americans: “Did the police use the Tulsa massacre as an excuse to murder black people?”
DOJ: “We’ll investigate it.”
Americans: “Well?”
DOJ: “Nope.”
Americans: “Are you sure?”
DOJ: “Sure.”
Americans: “Show us your findings.”
DOJ: “We can’t do that.”
Americans: “Are you hiding something?”
DOJ: “Nope.”
2025
DOJ: “Okay, yeah, the police used the Tulsa Massacre as an excuse to murder black people.”
Americans: “Do something about it!”
DOJ: “But that was 100 years ago, the damage is done.”
This is what Israel is trying to do with Palestine, too lol.
What do you mean "trying"?
I realize that right up there is a DOJ report, but I read this article in about 2020 and found it at the time to be one of the most horrifyingly complete accounts of what happened that I'd seen.
Would this report help Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Fletcher, the only two living survivors of the massacre, with their lawsuit that was thrown out of the Oklahoma Supreme Court last June?
One would hope so, but it IS Oklahoma..
the only two living survivors of the massacre
That are aware of. We have no idea how many infants were displaced or what happened to them.
In other words, expect Special Counsel Jack Smith's report to stay hidden for the next hundred years.
Being released wouldn't change anything. Mueller's report was released and nothing meaningful happened. We're significantly farther down the fascist path now too. I expect even less will happen when Smith's report is eventually released.
mueller's investigation was neutered by donvict before it even began.
The bastard Trump Turds would like to repeat 1924 Tulsa on a much larger scale. US history is full of mass violence events involving police brutality and murder. Just examine the early days of the worker unions.
Oh, well if the law said I could do it I guess that means it’s okay 🙄
Just tie it up in the court system for a hundred years.
Not only ok, it means you should do it
Gonna help? Teams are always more efficient
Embarrassing.
DOJ is a piece of shit.
DOJ: Does the right thing
You: DOJ is a piece of shit.
he was told he “could now ‘go out and shoot any [N-word] you see and the law’ll be behind you’”.
So basically the same as today.
