12 Horrible Crimes Committed by the Ku Klux Klan [site:name]

The existence of the Ku Klux Klan alone is reason enough to be concerned and query our federal government as to why an overtly racist, hate-filled organization was allowed to exist for therefore long. Apparently, conservative media personality Tomi Lahren didn’t get the memo.
Lahren appeared in Daily program with Trevor Noah on Wednesday night, and when Noah modified the subject of the conversation to her baseless criticism of the Black Lives Matter Movement, she foolishly tried to defend her tactic of describing the modern civil rights organization as “the new Ku Klux Klan.”
“When the Black Lives Matter movement comes out with signs saying ‘fry them like bacon’ and ‘down with the police’ and when they come out and say ‘if you see a white person, target them’ … that’s what happens, Trevor,” she said.
The most embarrassing moment in Lahren’s speech got here when she tried to reduce the Ku Klux Klan’s brutal history of racist attacks, inhumane murders and torture.
“So when that becomes the narrative and you start looting and burning and rioting… what did the KKK do?” Lahren asked. Naturally, her bogus query was met with a barrage of “boohoos” from the audience and a surprised look from Noah himself.
In an effort to remind Tomi Lahren and anyone else who seems to suffer from a little bit of amnesia about the history of brutal crimes committed by the Ku Klux Klan in America, let’s take a have a look at a number of of them.

The authorities reported that three of the 10 prisoners who escaped from the prison in Nowy Orlean at the starting of this month were arrested again on Monday in two different states after over per week Lam.
One of the men was arrested at the Rouge Baton in Louisian by the local police and two others were arrested in Walker in Texas by officials, the Stani police in Louisiana published on Platform X.
Stan police said that two more prisoners are still running away. No other details have been immediately published about Monday arrests.

Distrust in law enforcement agencies complicates the search for an escape of a prison in Nowy Orleans

When the authorities search the recent Orlean in search of refugees from the daring Jailbreak, additionally they confront the strengthened distrust in law enforcement agencies and the justice system in criminal matters.
Almost a week after 10 prisoners opened the defective door of the cell in a city prison and moved the toilet to squeeze through the hole, five remained on the lama. The police superintendent said that almost all of the fugitives were probably still in the city, because greater than 200 employees of law enforcement agencies are working on finding them.
Complication of efforts is the history of improper proceedings and racial prejudices against black by the city police, a state of state police with excessive strength and a prison system that violates constitutional rights.
Officials raised the fears that men receive help from the community after two people were reserved on Wednesday on charges of accessories, and the third was reserved on Thursday. The authorities offered $ 20,000 for suggestions resulting in the arrest of fugitives, many of which were accused of crimes using violence, including murder.
“If we thought that law enforcement agencies were here to help us, we would help them,” said Mario Westbrook, 48 years old. He understood only after the arrest of Escape Dkenan Dennis that he unwittingly talked to the fugitive that day in front of the corner store.
Westbrook compared the rush to capture Dennis near the Westbrook house with the continuously stayed hours of law enforcement agencies in his neighborhood in New Orleans East, a long marginalized section of most of the Black City.
“Our community, the police returns here, has no respect for us as people,” said Westbrook.
By throwing a package near the place where the police bounced the streets before capturing Escapee Corey Boyd, a 36 -year -old driver of Brandy Peters, said that there was surprised authorities who caught everyone “because normally a crime here becomes unsolved.”
“If you ask me, they bend more towards the French district, protecting and serving more there, making sure that when people come from the city, they are there,” she said about law enforcement agencies.
Many residents, annoyed by what they perceive as an incompetence of city management, mocks the outrageous escape. An area Dirty Coast clothing store, a reliable mood barometer, even sells a T -shirt based on mockery “to easy lol” written above the hole in which they escaped.

The police say they’re improving
In a statement for the Associated Press, Prosecutor General Louisiana Liz Murill described law enforcement agencies as “amazing work in building trust and relationships in communities they serve” and dealing on detaining “brutal and dangerous” refugees.
The Police Department in Nowy Orleans, which he transformed to the society, which he transformed, directed inquiries to the State Police in Louisiana, saying that he was searching.
The agency “is still trying to improve our relationships with our communities,” wrote state police spokesman Jared Sandifer We -mail. He added that “all residents are encouraged to cooperate with law enforcement agencies” in order to capture fugitives.
The Sheriff’s Office of the Orleans parish, which is prison, didn’t reply to requests for comment. But Susan Hutson sheriff said in a statement at the starting of this week that she was involved in “protecting our deputies, protecting society and restoring trust in the justice system that must act for everyone.”
Legislators from Louisiana are considering provisions that require sheriffs to instantly notify the state and native law enforcement agencies and the audience about the escape because of how long it lasted after Jailbreak from New Orleans.
History of racial police and improper behavior
According to all accounts, the Police Department in Nowy Orlean has recorded a drastic improvement over the past decade.
It was subject to what the city called the “most expansive” federal supervision plan since the Department of Justice of the United States found evidence of racial prejudices, improper proceedings and impunity. It was one of the first major police forces in the US to implement body cameras.
But the inhabitants are five times more exposed to a negative view of the city police as a positive, showed a survey in 2024 of the criminal coalition in Nowy Orleans.
Some still do not forget that Bullet lidddddddddddled in the early Nineties, when officers were often criminals feeding in the city. Dozens of officers were arrested for bank robbery, rape, theft of cars and other crimes when the recent Orlean ran the country in complaints about police brutality.
The low point was probably in 1994, when the recent Orlean recorded unusual 421 killings and saw the execution of a young woman, Kim Groves, who was the grandmother of Derrick Growes.
Many years later, after Hurricane Katrina, 20 officers were accused of a number of civil rights investigations. The officers shot and killed two unarmed people and hurt 4 others on the Danziger bridge in 2005, after which they organized covering up.

Safety problems and violence in the New Orleans prison
A member of the City Council Freddie King III regretted during a public meeting this week that several refugees were first closed as teenagers and remained involved in the justice system in criminal matters as adults.
“Do we do enough as a society as a city to ensure that our young, especially black men, will not go to prison?” He said.
For over a decade, the prison in Nowy Orleana was subject to federal monitoring, which is geared toward improving the conditions.
Safety problems and violence lasted even after opening the Justice Center Orleans in 2015, replacing the decomposing prison with their very own string of escapes and deaths.
“There is bad blood and the history of bad blood in relation to the parish imprisonment systems in Orleans,” said Stella Coken, an independent police monitor in Nowy Orleans.
State police are aggressive
He also observed that the inhabitants can “reluctantly” cooperate with the State Police in Louisiana, which operates with a large hand in the city, including the performance of the homeless camp.
The agency has the history of excessive strength, described in detail at the starting of this 12 months in the report on the chat of the US Department of Justice. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice announced that he “withdraws” the findings of Biden administration regarding constitutional violations.
And this month, the Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry signed a directive to enable state law enforcement agencies to implement federal immigration law.
“I think that in the current political climate people may want to think twice before they put themselves in a situation in which they unnecessarily interact with the police, because our civic freedoms may not be respected,” said Toni Jones, chairwoman of New Orleans on the supervision of the police, a bottom -up network of police responsibility.
“Almost like a joke”
Tyler Cross, who lives in the district of St. Roch, where the SWAT team unsuccessfully sought fugitives, perceives Jailbreak as indicating “significant system problems” with the system of law enforcement and justice in criminal matters.
“It’s almost like a joke that talks about how people think about the police in this area,” said Cross. “The whole situation is simply funny.”
Westbrook, a resident of Nowy Orleans, said that the police were “very active” in his neighborhood since the escape.
“They are looking for someone for a real one, so you can’t call it harassment,” said Westbrook. “But we’ll still bite him in the back room.”
