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’”.
Shouldn’t’ve released it at all then, right?
It’s good that it was released, and completely fucked that it took 100 years. Multiple things can be true at the same time.
I’m glad you’re recognizing that
Never once did I imply what you assumed. It’s always good when injustice is uncovered. However the DOJ is the same corrupt bullshit as cops. They proved over the last 100 years.
