Did Trump get "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" from a segregationist police chief?

It appears that Trump took his "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" Twitter tag line this morning from Miami Police Chief Walter E. Headley's 1967 announcement of a "get tough" policy in black neighborhoods. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1967/12/28/issue.html

He, of course, doesn't get shit from anywhere, it's fed to him by the more book-smart racists in his admin. Why do I have a feeling "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" was also Stephen Miller's yearbook picture quote?

1. Yes. It is intentional

3. You nailed it. These "treasures of wisdom" come from Stephen Miller is my guess

like this new legislation allowing hunters to shoot bear and wolf cubs in their dens. Fucking evil people. Get ready for the onslaught because they have nothing left but to wear us down and try to break our spirits.

4. Thanks couldn't remember who said that

As I was watching the news this morning and heard that tweet, I thought to myself "we have that Sheriff Bull from turning the hoses on peaceful protesters in the White House."

Your post shows it was a different white supremacist southern sheriff as pRresident. Sadly, there are so many of these KKK types hiding in plain sight, it is hard to keep them straight.

5. The son of a Klansman learned well

and that's all he knows

6. Yes, as per CNN this very minute.

They also pointed it out earlier.

7. Rep. Maxine Waters calls them the Trump Klan.

That is perfect.

8. I sure am noticing a lot of white guys around every place

that’s been burned or looted. Things that make you hmmm

9. Trump, or Stephen Miller. Miller is more likely.

Trump's personal tweets are generally ungrammatical, poorly spelled, and incoherent. When Stephen Miller tweets on Trump's account, you can see the difference.
