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’”.
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.”
