...case for reparations in Tulsa is particularly strong because of the deputies’ responsibility for much of the riot’s destruction. As the Oklahoma Supreme Court acknowledged in a long-forgotten insurance case, after the Greenwood residents were arrested, some of the deputies set fire to their houses.
