President Trump told reporters Friday evening that he didn't know the racially charged history behind the phrase "when the l**ting starts, the shooting starts." Trump tweeted the phrase Friday morning in reference to the clashes between protesters and police in Minneapolis following G****e F***d's death. It dates back to the civil rights era and is known to have been invoked by a white police chief cracking down on protests and a segregationist politician.

In 1967, Miami police Chief Walter Headley used the phrase "when the l**ting starts, the shooting starts" during hearings about crime in the Florida city, invoking angry reactions from civil rights leaders, according to a news report at the time.

"He had a long history of bigotry against the black community," according to professor Clarence Lusane of Howard University.

"The NAACP and other black organizations had for years complained about the treatment of the black community by Miami police. At this hearing, in discussing how he would deal with what he called crime and thugs and threats by young black people, he issued this statement that the reason Miami had not had any r**ts up to that point, was because of the message he had sent out that 'when the l**ting starts, the shooting starts,' " Lusane said.

Headley was head of the police force for 20 years and referred to his "get tough" policy on crime during a 1967 news conference as a war on "young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. ... We don't mind being accused of police brutality."

According to Lusane, Headley may have borrowed the phrase from Eugene "Bull" Connor, who had been the notorious public safety commissioner in Birmingham, Ala. Connor was a segregationist who directed the use of police dogs and fire hoses against black demonstrators.

The late 1960s saw major r**ts and uprisings in cities such as Detroit in response to police action against the black community.

Headley's use of the phrase is thought to have contributed to intensified race r**ts, including one of the most serious ones in Miami in 1980, when a black man, Arthur McDuffie, was beaten into a coma by up to a dozen white Dade County police officers after he ran a red light on his motorcycle. He later died from his injuries.

Segregationist p**********l candidate George Wallace also used the phrase during the 1968 campaign.

I haven't seen much shooting during the l**ting myself. Looks to me like they've been given free reign to burn, and l**t their own neighborhoods.

It's kinda funny, (but not really), the fact that now, they'll have to drive 20 miles to use their foodstamps, or money to buy groceries, and get their medicine, but they can't fix their cars because they burned down all of those r****t parts stores, and pharmacies.
Now they're in a real fix, huh?

My opinion is that if a minigun were applied to l**ters like we've recently seen, and made a policy, it would be a good preventative.

The building, and merchandise is already lost, so what would be the harm in tearing it up with bullets?

Might make people think.

Well Cubby, if I owned one of these businesses and some pants d**gging asshole or some hood wearing skinhead tried to l**t my business - they would have to be carried out. I'm not sure why these assholes are allowed to destroy public or private property with impunity. I'm a right wing conservative and if I read you correctly you are a left wing liberal. Are we, you and I really so far apart on this issue? I'm not talking about civil protests, I'm talking about young thugs who have no respect for anything or anyone and I have to wonder...how many of these delinquents have any idea who G****e F***d is. I'm watching these stupid assholes try to destroy CNN building in Atlanta...sad situation we find ourselves in.
SGM B out.

Civil rights leaders lead no one. The are all race baiters making money off their own people.

When I was growing up black people were marching for e******y and anti-segregation. Why do they self segregate themselves with black owned this and black owned that? Why do the call themselves black, and not just blend in and become people. They make up about 15 percent of the population yet they are in every TV commercial made today. Pre-Obama, they almost were blended in.

National, as well as local companies, seem to believe that every couple in the country are mixed race couples.
That is true black power. Black people in this country have it better than anywhere else in the world and they are not the only poor and uneducated people in this country, but if you listen to MSM you would think black people are the only people in the country that have bad things happen to them.
