This is absolutely amazing.. Everybody in that room should be facing extensive criminal charges.. Losing their jobs should be the very least of their problems..
bye bye job, bye bye freedom!
I agree, HulkSmash. Good God, this is chilling.
@@mygunisinnocent8028And exactly where did you earn your law degree?
@@mygunisinnocent8028 Definitely on sick eagle. But nothing illegal, did you watch the video? Guy checked with his lawyer ahead of time to make sure that the voice recorder was ok.
@@mygunisinnocent8028 "ill eagle" lololol
Instead of a council meeting they were having a clan meeting.
Better start checking that county sand for missing people.
Klan meeting and check "Mud Creek" for BLK bones, any bones, whites did it!!!
honestly, in some places there's no difference. murdering black people is council business.
Clan meeting? you're being much too polite regarding this cesspool, calling themselves public officials.
why do you think i was never interested in city politics? i understood early the game.
This is why more support is needed for local, independent news. They nailed George Santos, now they got these ghouls.
Sounds like the Gazette has more stories on these guys. Might be cool to see if we can get a hold of those stories.
yes, well said.
Yet he still holds his seat and is talking about running again. What good is it knowing everything we do and not being able to correct it. 😡😡😡 . It's maddening,imo.
@@garfield2439 But he will be voted out, even the Republicans hate him.
But since they believe they're in a war they won't actually DO anything about these guys. In wars you hand out medals not prosecute crimes. Thank you Fox News 🙄
And that's why you need local media.
Without local Media, independent local media, democracy dies.
Can gossip replace local media?
You are absolutely right.
Facts
@@bennybronco76 Yep!
everything these people had their hands in needs to be reinvestigated
Everything they have touched is now questionable because of this recording
Yes
Think about how many guilty people will now get out of prison because of their actions. It's because of this reason alone they should be prosecuted.
That part.
Every single case, their whole lives need to be spread open and examined
My mom's family is from rural Oklahoma, and I've been living here for 12 years. I've heard this crap said all over the state. There are still Sundown towns here. For a state that has church on every block, few people would know Jesus if he was standing right in front of them.
"Few people would know Jesus even if he was standing in front of them."
Probably because Jesus would be a person of color.
They would probably try to deport him.
You talkin’ ‘bout that Jewish fella?
Amen!
@@jerryeberts3726 With the olive skin!
They speak so openly, so brazenly. No fear of being overheard or shame in their voice. I want to say I’m surprised but I’m not, just disappointed that we collectively still deal with stains like these people. It’s horrifying. And I have NO doubt they’ve hurt innocents before. Lord help us.
These type of conversations are commonplace within the GOP.
Not to mention, this type of behavior all while using federal and state dollars. I can imagine how many minorities these government organizations have framed on trumped up charges.
@Dorothy Washington I'm white and believe me I've heard these conversations my whole life, even within my family
Now it makes me wonder are our or these government elected officials did they really run for office to effect change for the better for all or did they run to know they have ulterior motives to make things worse for certain groups of people. OMG be careful who you elect into office it could very well backfire.
@Dorothy Washington These are government elected officials, for the people by the people. This is alarmingly disheartening. How did individuals like this get elected? So for the most part they ran for office not for the people but to use their governing abuse of powers to cause havoc for certain groups of people?
OMG, what on earth is wrong with those people? Hold them accountable.
So Jennings knows 2-3 hit men? And it’s just ok that these hit men walk the streets? Whoever recorded this needs to be protected. These people need to be charged for conspiring to commit murder. Absolutely disgusting.
The same publisher that they were talking about killing was the person who recorded it.
Quiet men. From Louisiana. You know. The Bayou Brigade.
He pays them and gives them a badge too, I'll bet.
Totally agree
@@gabby2979 yup the cops here make a lot of people disappear and nobody ever does anything about it
This recording should be published, broadcast over the national news on every network television, radio, online, make sure nobody in the world can deny knowing about it.
Like Jan 6? The world saw that happening live and people still deny it.
I would much rather prefer that every small town editor supply the same evidence to their own community, expose the corruption and pure evil of your own area to your public.
It's OKLAHOMA and A rural area. What would the rest of the world do about it?? Or need to know?? They have their own wars and real genocide going on!!
Some states have made stuff like this illegal to protect the powerful -- a blatant first amendment violation! Where are all the constitutional Republicans? Oh right
Want'a live down south with old crazies with guns and white overlord wannabe dudes (with power and clout) who long for the days when lenching and false imprisonment was the right of 'white election?' I think not, but some are stuck there and subjected to this mindset, day in and day out. Good for you Gov. Stit--now fire them and suspend their pensions. Then prosecute their potentially powerless, mean-spirited, soul-less selves and remove their source of income and power. The ones they wish to harm have equal rights and that is what drove their malevolent conversation.
Conspiracy to commit murder? Isn't that a crime?
These people are genuine psychopaths.
Fact. They talk about this crap like most people talk about the weather!
Yep, sounds like an admission of a crime to me. Lock 'em up!
Conspiracy would require them take a significant step towards making it happen. Otherwise it's just talking.
Lock them up regardless. The thoughts were there
@What Guitars That's not how it works in a court room. Sorry.
I am from Texas. I am mixed race and work international. Recently coming back home to Texas. My own Cousin talking like these cops. Telling me "how hard it was on him, scraping by, and how all these minorities got it so easy with social programs", typical white rage, white resentment. They turned my little cousin into a white nationalist. It breaks my heart. I can only pray for him now.
White Hispanic or white Mexicans...for sure!!!..
I'm on your cousin's side...what has entitlement brought except misery and death...folks need to sink or swim, without my tax dollar being wasted on them in either regard...
@@JohnPublic-dk7zd You think "entitlements" are the reasons for your less than desirable life? Try reading up on the history of how Republican presidents increase our national debt while reducing programs for citizens, and Democrats decrease the. national debt while increasing programs for the people. Your understanding of what is going on and why is a bunch of malarky spewed by Republican machines who want you to believe that. I blame people like you for not taking the time to find out facts and real history and what's really going on, then voting for the grifters who keep grifting and convincing people like you it's the other guys' fault. Then all of you feel justified in your hate, hate, and more hate because it's all everyone else fault but you keep voting for the same people. Trump gave the uber rich tax breaks that resulted in an increase to the national debt of $2 TRILLION dollars, now the republicans are blaming the Democrats for debt. President Clinton brought the national debt to ZERO! while increasing social programs. Check it out so you can rid yourself of your misinformation that justifies your racist hate.
Thats heartbreaking to see. I am sorry your own family cant see the humanity in people with a different experience than them
Praying is what got him where he's at.
There’s no doubt that this kind of conversation happens all over this country when people think no one is listening in.
Yeah, blacks speak the same way.
@@mikehawk4714 You are gonna need a voice recording for evidence with this claim Mike. Get to work. If you do not attain one, we are gonna chalk this up to just another statement pulled out of your butt hole. Your statements stink Mike.
I stopped talking with some of my relatives after they cut loose with that kind of nonsense (apropos of nothing) at a barbecue. Don't need that kind of trash in my life.
@@mikehawk4714 REALLY? All those entitled spewing this hate. They don’t care if you are black white brown or purple. They just hate.
@@mikehawk4714 Um, no we do not.
I'm glad this is coming out in the media, finally.
It is not an isolated incident, but getting caught in the act is.
These are comments that happen every day in many government rooms!! They just got caught this time
Yes
@@cornballsack6271 maybe you should be asking the people who got caught saying that s***.
@@1Kent Your country is Barbaric
Respect to these dedicated local journalists. Thank you for highlighting their work.
yes well done.
Lol are u serious
@@christerry1773 deadly serious. Be afraid.
@@christerry1773 I'm a local news editor. That's shocking stuff. You're either a troll or a fool.
@@christerry1773 What exactly do you object to about the comment?
They’ve definitely had these kinds of conversations before.
The public, heard a live klans meeting!..
I agree and these types of sentiments, "rolled" off their tongue's way to easy.
There are literally thousands of small towns like this all over America with people just like that
Yup. I come from upstate NY, a blue state, and our small town was made up of many people just like this bunch of low lives. This stuff is EVERYWHERE in this country....all Republicans and 99% MAGAts.
Really? Where?
We should make these people face the wall.
It'll be interesting to see how the GOP and their watchdogs will blame this on wokeness.
🤣true THAT !
Oh, they definitely will. They love passing the buck, while claiming to be the party of personal responsibility. But we all know republicans don't know what words mean.
That and Critical Race Theory and drag shows.
MAGA patrol is getting restless
Bu bu but Obama....Biden....Hunter Biden laptop....blah blah blah
What do you mean resign? they need to be in prison, now!🤷♂️
out of office at the least
How authoritarian of you.
@@blakethegreatone2058 they literally committed a crime. So yes, locked up is where they need to be
@@blakethegreatone2058 You're right, let's just let all crime run rampant, no arresting anyone for anything.
this is why you need to teach about true history, imagine what their kids have heard at home
That's the hardest thing for them to accept, the fact that blacks have as many rights as white people.
They call giving anyone equal rights as “special rights” to obfuscate and make it seem like preferential treatment (over the oppressed white people).
I can't believe people actually think like this.
Forced Birth Cattle have no human rights. Black males still have some rights, but not for long.
Someone said equality feels like oppression to old white men
MAGA, essentially what it means to these degenerates
Thanks for exposing this.
How can anyone even watch this person. She's unwatchable.
@gridsleep We can both thank the local newspaper for doing the original work and MSNBC for bringing it to a larger audience.
Thank god he left that recorder there. But man I can’t imagine listening to that for the first time.
Hope they are held accountable!
They better be held accountable.
I think we should hear the whole conversation instead of snippets from a known liar like Rachel.
@@blakethegreatone2058 You can hear the entire recording on the newspapers website. As for "known liar", you're thinking of Fox, not MSNBC.
I could not be more proud of the journalists and publishers of the McCurtain Gazette. Thank you for having the stones to shine a light on local corruption and racism! ❤
I hope FBI will fallow up on this and not just do paperwork!!!
They have the tapes already.. And the civil rights division at that
You can make a formal complaint, I don’t understand why people don’t.
They won't. Merrick Garland is the top supervisor of the FBI. He won't do diddly.
@@catalinacurio Cops are useless.
"They're got more rights than we got."
No, just the same amount. But I guess this is still a threatening concept to some ppl.
To those used to privilege, equality for others feels like persecution for them.
This from people used to literally getting away with murder.
@@marcforrester7738 yeah A LOT of murder in Oklahoma by the police and it needs to stop! People just disappear here….
Black people have the bare minimum.
Hi Andrew, I would like to ask people who make such statements if they would like to wake up tomorrow morning, look in the mirror, and discover that overnight they had become a person of color...
This is absolutely horrific. Resign? No! Fire them so they can’t get pensions & jail is the only place for them. Plus, this isn’t the only place or people who actually think this way. Great job on the reporter to have the suspicion & foresight to do this!!!!! Shame on them🤬
I would think there is room for the FBI to come onboard with their own raft of civil rights violations
McCourtain County officials: Well, if a black supreme court justice can get away with all his crimes, so can we. We got more rights than him. We only talked about it, we didn't actually do nothing.
More like lock them up for conspiracy to murder
@@NoToBigBro is that seriously what they said or responded with? Also, pretty sure Thomas didnt conspire to murder members of the press. Different levels of corruption and crimes in this discussion so not all things are equal. Good lord!
Couldn't they be charged with conspiracy to commit murder?
“They got more rights than we got” omggggg
As a small town journalist for many years, I can attest that it is common practice for many local governments to continue conducting business while in-camera and after adjourning. It is a serious issue that has never been properly addressed. As far as elected officials being violent, racist and associating with criminals - nothing new there
My sentiment exactly.. thanks for sharing
Yep. Early in my journalism career it seemed I spent half my time catching local elected bodies cheating on the open meetings act in Texas.
Yea i was more sad than surprised to hear that recording
Sounds like you're saying we need Federal Rico investigations of every small town government.
Well why are they still elected officials? You don’t care ? 😂😂
It’s all the things we feared and couldn’t believe, but racism is still alive. People say it’s dead - nope - people say we have done enough - nope.
If someone says racism is dead they're definitely at least a little racist.
It was just our imagination. Yeah, right.
I would suggest racism is to kind of a word to use in this case. 🤔😒🤨Maybe KKK Members are still alive in 2023. Some in the House Of Representatives of our US Congress! Like MTG, and McCarthy! To bad we cannot get recordings of their private Conversations!
Or when I hear politicians say "This is not who we are... This is not what America is". This is exactly what America is. Denying it, only aggravates the situation
It's around. It's just being hidden.
The saddest part is most people in authority share this sheriff's sentiment in this state.
It's all over this country in police departments
^^^.. .. and they say he suspected what he already knew 🤔 ??? ... 😔
Why do you assume that "all cops share his sentiment"? That's a big accusation.
@@matthewstearns289 that's very presumptuous of you. Yes, I've talked to some conservatives and watched many videos of theirs yet I haven't heard of any such person advocating for violence based on race. So now I'm going to need sources on your bold claim. I've had many of my Conspiracy theories become Conspiracy Facts so I had my receipts when people asked me. I said my predictions through super chats and IRL. So I'm just wondering what makes you think there's people out there out to get another group of people like that. That's some Crusades type thinking. That's like living in the Medieval Times when people were literally scared all the time and there was constant death because of Savages and all the pillaging some people did back then. Sorry, I don't see the hate in Big cities. Maybe you've experienced some racism or been a witness to one but all I see in big cities is biracial couples and people loving each other.
Also please don't bring up Nick Fuentes or such a divisive individual. Even conservatives hate him. Like I said before, one person doesn't represent a nation.
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 You haven't seen or heard calls for violence based on race, therefore it doesn't happen often? Well, given your innate, totally not egocentric omniscience, it's hard to argue against your point.
After all, no one understands society as well as you!
I am just appalled and disgusted. How did these people get into office???
Thank you Rachel for this eye opener.
Voted for by other White supremacist ls
The absolute craziest thing about this is that even in 2023, this is not shocking or surprising in the least.
🦆 "They are literally hunting us every time we leave the house'
LeBwrong James
@@davidcohen7106 Ralph Yarl agrees with LeRight James.
''They got more rights now than we do.'' Racism is their religion, they're teaching generation after generation to pray on the altar of Racism. It'll NEVER DIE
Babies are not born with racism - they only get taught it later by mentally defective adults. And if those adults weren't around to poison young minds, the world would be a better place.
I'm just sad at the fact that they still think having equal rights equates to having 'more' rights. Sure makes ya wonder just how many people they've been judge, jury and executioner of.
So true
And taking their kids to NRA conventions to try out a gun
Their religion is built on racism. Its just one of the reasons I left their cult.
Next time someone is in a public debate with someone over "CRT" they should pull out a pocket player and say "let's listen to our non-existent systemic racism for a second" and play this recording. THIS is what we heard--but this hate is everywhere with these people, it drips from them every day.
Won't matter. They'll just regurgitate, "Bad apples..." argument. Not sure why you think slapping them upside the face with "facts" will suddenly make them care. *They.Don't.Care* Period. They don't care as long as they have influence and can coast with no real effort involved, other than stoking fears over pretty much nothing that actually affects them.
The problem with CRT is not that its wrong... But that it provides no solution to the problem. "The spirit of the south" has lived on for hundreds of years, lasted countless anti racist laws and even managed to still be a thing after an outright civil war.
To be honest, this tape alone would only be part of the picture. If you'd really like to give them a balanced view I'd go through these 3 videos:
1) _"Why Louisiana Stays so Poor"_ (available on yt):
This video explains precisely the way in which the government is organized to encourage this kind of behavior.
2) _Sheriffs by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver_ (available on YT)
This explains how the sheriff system across the US encourages this outcome.
3) _This video_
Then finish off by playing this video.
All combined it really gives you a sense of how all the pieces of the puzzle for together.
So I'm a young black woman, and I live in Georgia. I have so many white friends and family members. So I don't really view racism as white people.
But when u hear this stuff, it almost always seems to be bout black people. We live rent free in their minds, and it baffles me that people who were just kids during civil rights and segregation hate black people SOOO MUCH. I mean they really hate us, it's almost unfathomable.
The next time you bring up "CRT" perhaps you should learn exactly what that is before you do. (Hint: Its not what your internet buddies have told you it is).
This should be broadcast all over the world. These people are monsters in leadership position.
Wow this is WOW!!! This is still happening today. These officials and the Sheriff Kevin Clardy needs to be replaced and or imprisoned for even thinking along these lines ASAP!!!! WOW!!!! Keep up the good work Rachel and keep me posted on this outcome.
🦆Math is racist. We called this years ago. Why these people haven't been hunted down and put down is beyond me. 🦆Never forget...." Joe Biden Apologized for being white ''
🐦" Why can't they just shoot them in the leg ? " Democrat Joe Biden.
It's been happening, but, people keep or try keep it in the dark racist racism. Good reporting. Now what are they gonna do besides just say resign, they should be put in handcuffs already
Don't know where you live but this sort of thing is fairly widespread and particularly common in areas run by republicans. They hate the very idea that POC have any rights and think "those" people should "know their place." The bigotry and racism haven't ever decreased for a lot of white people who sincerely think they are superior. To them granting equal rights to all people is unjust to their feelings of privilege and superiority. I don't know how our society will ever rid ourselves of such nasty people.
In central Kentucky, housing is still divided by the railroad tracks.
Take it further, that Governor's reaction was almost as bad. He should have sent the State Bureau of Investigation in too.
These people should be locked up.
And keys permanently thrown away.

I am from Texas, and this area of Oklahoma has a lot of beautiful cabins that you can rent and enjoy family time during holidays, summers, vacations, etc. We have done it 2 or 3 years now. Its sad because as a black person knowing this, I dont to be in that county knowing this is how Law Enforcement things and feels.
Oklahoma has always been like that. It is well known by POC, to never get pulled over in that state. I’m so tired of white Americans denying that racism doesn’t exist.
No white person I know deny that! In fact, Many white people are appalled and ashamed we didn't understand this all along. What can we do beside vote for Democrats?
Over the past weekend, lots of people on your side thought stealing and breaking up buildings would be a fun thing to do.
I'm so tired of white Americans denying that racism DOES exist. (The typo needs to be fixed, otherwise it reads like you think racism does not exist but white Americans claim it does.)
When I drive cross country I make sure to stay out of Oklahoma and Nebraska. Both states call the 6th grade their "senior year".

Some of your buddies rioted in a couple cities this past weekend, for no reason.
The saddest part for me is that, although it made me so sad and angry listening to those monsters in human suits, I'm really not shocked anymore to learn this stuff is going on. This is one in a long line of clear systemic disregard for morals, ethics and the very law and order they 'cherish' I've witnessed lately, from a force powered by authoritarian, racist, corrupt criminals who've been given freedom to oppress, torture and murder anyone who stands in their way! None of it's new, but technology has put us in a position to witness with our own eyes and ears what we pretty much all knew deep down.
And what Black people have been saying for centuries...Still so many need recordings to believe it. Then they pretend it's an isolated incidence, because, "This doesn't happen in my family or community, we don't see color". 🙄
Sad Days America Sad Days in the Land We Love 🇺🇲💯
Technology is the reason we’re seeing this happen on a daily basis. It has pretty much been kept under wraps for decades in the rural south where everybody knows everybody’s secret lives but nobody talks about it. Now it’s being exposed. Just look at Tennessee…less than a month ago a house member from Sparta TN proposed a bill to make lynching legal, again. Does anyone not believe that isn’t racist?
True. Unsurprising, but what a feast to have them on tape in a time where said tape then actually gets through to the public!
@@Weirdkauz oh absolutely! I’m just so tired of hearing the same old whining from these snowflakes that everyone on the left is accusing that all white republicans are racist. Let the facts and videos and the texts and the indictments speak for themselves. The right can for sure dish it out but they can’t take one iota of pushback!
When you hear them say, "WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!" *this* is what they mean.

Welcome to a lot of small southern towns. It's never ending. Evil people with power.
Can you imagine a world where these maniacs run a town? I paused the video to actually read the newspaper article and I was afraid the audio was going to include the part titled "The Death of Danette Stowe." A man set a woman's house on fire and she ran back in the house to save her dogs and she and the dogs all perished. The sheriff then recounted the scene where he went into gruesome detail about collecting the woman's body and how he and he and his deputy son told jokes about it at the crime scene. These people are absolute psychopaths and need to be put away.
Dukes of Hazard?
Yes, those people on the recording certainly are psychopaths. Oklahoma is more than 90% MAGA Republicans who, in my opinion are psychopaths. No wonder our country is in such bad political shape.
White silence is deafening to this white woman! We must crack, charge, fire, and jail every redneck Sheriff, and County employee in charge of other's behaving like these backwards indignant righteous white hillbilly mentality in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, by corrupt, racist Governor's like deSantis, Abbott and Huckobee Sanders, shoving their own ignorant ideology, conspiracy theories, and bigotry into our politics, public schools, colleges, businesses, and Supreme Court justices! Alito and his three stooges and both Thomas's must step down immediately or jail awaits you traitor's!

She is the follow the science person.. she backed pharmaceutical companies that had very little research.. but she never told you about the DRs that took bribes to push the vaccines. I wonder why she won’t educate her flock on Hillary?
@@kenwhite6449 instead of educating yourself you choose to insult.. yeah! That seems about right 🤭🤡
@@kenwhite6449 It seems that these SOBs are the ones that are butt hurt, and you're with them, huh? How's that lil' chocolate starfish holding up?
You scared they're gonna come for you? Better get that great big ol' shotgun out and start waving' it at those good folks, huh?
Resignations are not enough
That's terrifying, I hope those officials are not only investigated but are also arrested. They were planning to murder a family, who knows what else they have done
No one cares what you hope.
Well it seems they've got pre-dug holes for something. Sick
How many suspicious deaths have been written off as innocent in that area?
@@DeborahWalkerXOXO Don't know. How many?
We should hear the full tape instead of just snippets from a known liar like Rachel.
I’m 68. After a lifetime with long hair and a beard, and a thirst for travel on a shoestring, I’ve had many interactions with small town authorities. They are, for the most part in red areas, trash who should never be given important work.
Right on brother. Oh the stories of hitching through Texas, or driving a Deadhead van through Oklahoma.
Stay in Chicago.
@@jasong428Be scared of that city ..CHICAGO!!!...
@@lalapo5304 My buddy was a defense attorney in Southern California in the late 70’s through the eighties. Also a dedicated deadhead. Actually worked in a number of capacities for the local productions. I’ve always admired you guys. That’s wearing the patch. Blue skies for you.
I grew up in OK and have been telling people for YeARS that race issues still exist in small rural communities. It’s insanity. I’m disgusted and embarrassed.
.. racism still exists in major rural communities as well as corporations
Hello Rachel, Good morning
It's not just Oklahoma.
Don't be embarrassed at all. Racism is everywhere regardless of location. It's a huge problem in cities.
It has always been at the surface, never dead.
Any Unsolved Murders in that County ?
Guns and racism define the USA. I couldn't be more horrified and embarrassed. Thank you Rachel. 🇺🇸
Sad but truer than ever with the rise in right wing propaganda

This human garbage are the same Republicans who feign outrage when called racists to their face. They also pretend to be Christians. If Jesus ever did return these good ol' boys would hang him.
RESIGN! THEY SHOULD BE FIRED AND PROSECUTED!
People like this can and will VOTE, folks. Yours matters as much as theirs, make sure their voices are not louder than yours.
And their response was " that recording was illegal "
"They got more rights than we got!" They want to be the victim so bad.
The whiteflight town values in real-time.
I don't think here, they want to be the victim. No! They want the freedom to do atrocities to human beings without being called out or punished for their actions. The diagnosis is pure evil. In the end EVERYONE will be judged. Count on it!
@@readingladyNo, they still want to be the victim while doing the atrocities.
There should be people going to trial for this and losing their jobs at a MINIMUM.
Yes
GO TO JAIL at a minimum. This is a threat. A conspiracy to commit murder. Others have gone to jail for this very thing.
What a smart and brave journalist for leaving the recorder...without it, he would have never known that people were planning a hit on him and his son. Unfreakenbelievable!!!!
That was God in the works.
@@loriannrichardson7644 Amen.
They got more rights then we got. In what galaxy
...and they were going to blame it on the wife!! This is exactly why I trust trust feds way more than local cops.
You actually think the Feds are any better?
Yep, don't be fooled into thinking this is a one off. This is happening across the country right now. Oh ya and in case anyone forgot, these people were all elected.
Yup. They were ALL elected by the people who know them. Makes you wonder what it must be like living in rural America today. I did...for almost 50 years, and nothing has changed.
This is the Republican Party. THIS is who they ALL are. ALL of them.
💯
Oh...it's hardly just them. All humans are the same.
The party of law and order onto others by republican hands and never any accountability for themselves.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979. Sorry. No. Republicans are by definition racist. I’m not.
Rules for thee, not for me
This is nothing new the whole state is racist, I live in a small town named Fairview, Oklahoma and they are racist to.
They all need to be fired and lose all benefits including pensions. Every conviction needs to be reviewed. All these individuals need to be investigated and tried for any crimes they have committed.
Thats hilarious and will mever happen
As a McCurtain County resident I can say that will never happen! The county courthouse and sheriff's office is one of the most corrupt places. It will only get worse unfortunately
The immense importance of brave, honest local reporters can't be exaggerated!
Those alleged "news reporters" over at Fox should take lessons from those two fellas in Idabel, OK. Those guys have more integrity in their pinky fingers than the talking heads at Fox have in their entire bodies.
I am shocked the reporters' lives were threatened and saddened the racial ignorance of these folks exists. Whippin' black folks and tossing them in jail? Killing reporters via hit men. This is sickening and scary!
Freedom of the PRESS
Now that is some actual reporting. Ballsy and brave on the reporters end. This shows that rural cops need to be monitored for extremism and dismissed. These officials acted corruptly, cowardly, and with dereliction for their duty.
Is that not conspiracy to murder
I can't imagine the energy it takes to hate that much? They must be exhausted🤷🏿♀️
There plenty more where that came form in your barbaric country
Who best to break the law and commit the unsolvable murders than the "law men" that would "investigate" them.
@@sandburgmartin7947 Most cops in the USA are dirty
No they have the power of Satan working for them!!!!!
@@sandburgmartin7947 I live in Alaska we have more than our share of missing persons I wounder how many cops have to do with that , the state is mostly wilderness be real easy for dirty cops to get rid of bodies where no one would ever find them.
Rachel Maddow is simply the best Investigative Journalist not just on MSNBC but in the NEWS business.
I definitely agree 👏🏾👏🏾
She's also one of my favorite history professors. The stories she spins and relates recall being a young man, fascinated by what I was hearing.
AHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
While I like her, I think this one belongs to the guy who recorded it all.
@@kelperdude You wouldn't be here if she didn't matter, chief.
Only Rachel brings these discussions to light. No one can say she is majoring in minors.
Because the same thing is happening in every small-town sheriff's office in America.
Time to bring all this to the public attention!
Unfortunately, I am not surprised!!!
I grew up in Oklahoma. This is how all those good ol’ boys talk when they think no one is listening.
Same in Lafayette, IN.
Oklahoma is the most racist state.
DOJ Get to it ...!
These people are unhinged
Not sure how people can be so sick and deplorable. Its disgusting
That's MAGA for ya
Hillary Clinton got it so right!
Hello Laura, Good morning
They were brought up that way.
They need to be locked up 😈😈
Good on Stitt for asking for their resignations - But the fact that people are giving him credit for doing the absolute bare minimum, that should tell you that he isn't fit to do his job either.
WOW! To say I wasn't expecting that is an understatement. So the holes were dug for the reporters in particular?... or just available for anyone they didn't like? Excavator? Time to take a closer look at their "missing persons" file.
Same is most towns I'm sure. Good ole boys never change. Think Al Bundy with real hatred. There are thousands upon thousands of them across the country working in these jobs and Police Depts. This type of attitude and talk is more the norm, than an exception.
What does Married With Children have to do with this?
@@moogleboy Yeah Al Bundy wasn't that bad. He did have a thing about cars made outside America.
Really makes you wonder about the vetting process.
You mean Ted Bundy! Al Bundy is the guy in Married With Children!
Yes! I love hearing this stuff! 😀
The DOJ needs to investigate this.
And hold them accountable.
That's the arrogance of Satan, I hear coming out of their mouths.
Individual 1 stirred up the cesspool that is the GOP base.
He isn't a bug. He is a feature. This is who they been for how many decades?
As a lifelong Oklahoman, this is the least surprising thing I've ever heard.
Yeah really 😂😂
Th don’t have MORE rights, they have THE SAME rights ‘you got’
facts are hard for Republicans....
but the fact "they got" rights sure does bother them.
It's called white privilege and this cancer needs to be cut out and burned away.
This is very sickening. So much hate. Thank goodness these racists have been found out. Thank you for sharing.🙏
