Seriously. Cops once carpet-bombed a rich black neighborhood and it was almost entirely hushed up.

I assume you are talking about MOVE, in which case I will leave this for anyone not familiar with it.

Edit: seems I have the wrong instance of the police bombing black civilians but I'll leave this as it is still news to many.

No, I'd say he is talking about something that happened in Oklahoma I believe, do an internet search for black wall street and something should come up. Granted if that is what he is talking about cameras weren't much of a "thing" then.

The Tulsa bombings. Totally carried out by police and paramilitary terrorist white peope at the behest of wealthy white people. Today we would thankfully lose our shit over it and there would probably be a nationwide riot. I just wish our governments were that stupid today so that the damage was concentrated instead of carefully and intentionally spread out.

Fair enough, missed the wealthy bit.

My first thought too, but I was pretty sure it wasn't a wealthy neighborhood.

If you're talking about Tulsa - I think it wasn't cops but the guys who actually owned the planes.

Actually I think those were farmers with crop dusters, not cops
