jul 16, 1933 - The Red Squad

Description:

In 1933, Chief James E. Davis developed a "Red Squad" . It's goal was to "investigate and control radical activities, strikes, and riots." Compared to today's standards, the Squad's tactics were intolerable, but at the time its members had the permission of government officials and the business community.
