[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2170094, member: 18710"] Ok guys, an update. I did talk the the Chief of Police. He is Kiowa. By the way my iPad capitalizes Indian for me. Even when I don't. The Chief was aware and the county sheriff had also called and offered to help if needed. They had got the guys to quit with the clubs or bats or whatever. They have stopped the curfew stuff. That was the part that got to me. I graduated here in 1977 and I was almost twenty and the Geary city council voted in a curfew for everyone at 11pm until 6am. I was no angel and this curfew was selectively enforced. I was one of their reasons for doing it. I was on the list of "those that shall not be allowed". Several of my friends were also. I had a job on a drilling rig that kept me out until after midnight. It was a real pain. I was given several tickets for that. What was worse was we got a new cop and before he even had cleet training he tried to arrest a friend of mine. This idiot cop picked my friend out of a crowd. He hauled him to the jail and while filling out a report my friend ran out the door. The cop ran out and shot him. He was going to shoot again but the crowd had followed and one young man stood in front of the gun. My friend is now a captain and thirty year veteran with the Oklahoma Wildlife Department. While he was wounded he had to turn down a spot in the OHP academy. A curfew is a real sore spot for me. Even after my friend was shot the town kept enforcing the curfew. It wasn't until an Indian woman got a lawsuit filed in Federal Court that the town dropped that curfew. It was illegal and wrong in the way it was enforced. [/QUOTE]
