Origin

Kevin Liptak O @Kevinliptakcnn Apparent origin of the "looting starts, shooting starts" is Miami police chief in 1967, who said "we don't mind being accused of police brutality." (via NYT archive) The chief said 58 crimes of violence were committed in the area over the Christmas week- end. "We don't mind being ac- cused of police brutality,", he told the news conference. "They haven't seen anything yet. Com- munity relations and all that sort of thing have failed. We have done everything we could, sending speakers out and meet- ing with N---- leaders. But it has amounted to nothing." Looting and Shooting "We haven't had any serious problems with civil uprising and looting," the chief said, “because i've let the word filter down that when the loot- ing starts, the shooting starts." 8:30 AM - May 29, 2020 - Twitter Web App
