The Racist Origins Of Trump’s ‘When The Looting Starts, The Shooting Starts’ Quote | HuffPost
Trump did not coin the phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” The line is half a century old, and combative Miami Police Chief Walter Headley Jr. originally used it during the height of civil rights protests in the 1960s.
Headley led the Florida city’s law enforcement from 1948 until his sudden death in 1968. He attracted national attention and condemnation in December 1967, when he threatened to step up already severe policing practices that included use of tear gas and an aggressive stop-and-frisk policy.
“This is war,” Headley told reporters, according to a United Press International article from the time. He described his problem with “young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign.”
“We don’t mind being accused of police brutality,” Headley said. “They haven’t seen anything yet.”
Citing DemoRats doesn’t strengthen your argument. Funny tho
But you quoting a right wing trumper is sacrosanct?
Your comment makes it seem as if you think an ad hominem attack substitutes for an actual debate. Facts and the truth are still facts and the truth no matter how much you deflect.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Calls Out Trump 'THUGS' Tweet
“Let me say this, weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions,” Frey said in response. “Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis. We are strong as hell.”
