Talk:Memphis sanitation strike

message: This photo does not represent the Sanitation Strike in 1968 since it was taken in 2011. If someone wants to add a section about what happened in 2011, the photo would be appropriate there, but not in the lead section. USchick (talk) 03:27, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Please don't call Justice Department and PBS Frontline sources "unreliable sources." Someone erased them on the Killing of Larry Payne article and falsely described them as unreliable, and I feel that the sources will be erased again due to an unwillingness to accept them as fact. I know the sanitation workers strike is a sensitive piece of civil rights history, but that is no excuse to describe the sources as unreliable. Hopefully, they be accepted. One source noting that a notice was issued to close the Larry Payne file and was written by Civil Rights Division official Karla Dobinski specially states that "The autopsy report also noted gunpowder flecking on the elbow of the victim’s left arm. In addition, the subject’s left hand incurred gunpowder burns, indicating his hand was near the end of the shotgun barrel when he fired the shotgun. This physical evidence is consistent with the subject’s claim that Payne’s left arm was reaching up and that the subject was reaching for Payne with his left hand in order to restrain Payne, when the subject unexpectedly perceived the need to fire the shotgun held in his right hand"Speakfor23 (talk) 07:06, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
