Hey -- you want some real, live law enforcement atrocity? Try the recording of this Sheriff and County Commissioners in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Certified law enforcement that does not report this recorded conversation, and the Sheriff adds his own threats:
Sheriff Kevin Clardy, his investigator Alicia Manning, Commissioners Mark Jennings and Robert Beck, commissioners’ secretary Heather Carter and jail administrator Larry Hendrix were speaking with each other after the March 6 meeting of the county Board of Commissioners. The discussion then devolves into a
conversation around Jenning’s desire for a return of the days of lynching.
Jennings said the nearly 20 people running for sheriff “don’t have a god— clue what they’re getting into.”
“I’m gonna tell you something,” Jennings said. “If it was back in the day, when … Alan Marshton would take a damn Black guy and whoop their ass and throw him in the cell? I’d run for f—ing sheriff.”
Clardy tells Jennings “it’s not like that no more.” “I know,” Jennings responds. “Take them down to Mud Creek and hang them up with a damn rope. But you can’t do that anymore. They got more rights than we got.”

Next, they begin discussing hiring hit men, and they specifically mention journalists Chris Willingham, the Gazette-News reporter who broke the story around the comments and is currently in litigation with Manning for defamation and civil rights violations, and Bruce Willingham. Manning
said the reporters “are insignificant in my life,” while Clardy promises her that “what goes around goes around. “ “I know where two big deep holes are here if you ever need them,” Jennings added. Clardy said he has an excavator, to which Jennings replies the holes are “already dug.”

Jennings then
adds he has known “two or three hit men” who are “very quiet guys” and who “would cut no f—ing mercy.” They then posit who would be blamed for the hit, if it were ever found out. “Yeah, but here’s the reality,” said Manning. “If a hair on his wife’s head, Chris Willingham’s head, or any of those people that really were behind that, if any hair on their head got touched by anybody, who would be the bad guy?”
