The #BlackAndTans arrived in Ireland in 1920 on #ThisDayInHistory, sent by #WinstonChurchill to engage in brutal #colonial warfare. Their violence as the #RoyalIrishConstabulary, paired with the regular army and #Ulster's auxiliary militias, still failed.

His gunboats in the River Mersey, killing strikers and his use of the #BlackAndTans in Ireland and Palestine mark him as a ruthless racist.
Wait for it, painting the statue of a racist will be deemed a terror attack!
#Churchill wasn’t satisfied with using the #BlackAndTans in Ireland he exported them to #Palestine.
As an Irish man, I'm going to say it. ICE are like the Black & Tans. Same behaviour, violence and terror.
#ICE #Stateviolence #Blackandtans #Irish
why do these #ICE "agents" dress like they bought a load of reject stock from a military surplus store?? for an Irish person their ridiculous amateur cosplay militia costumes are reminiscent in tone to #blackandtans
Reading about the history of the classical Palestine in the 1930s Arab revolt and came on the Tegart forts, named after an Irishman who was very efficient in colonial coercion. Some in use as prisons and police stations to this day. #BlackandTans #History #Revolt
"Come Out Ye Cowards ICE" by #CarsieBlanton is a timely rewrite of Dominic Behan''s "Come Out Ye Black and Tans". It's about the resistance to #ICE in #Minneapolis.

The entire village of #Ballinalee, #CountyLongford, #Ireland, was burnt down on #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, as #CollectivePunishment for an #IRA victory there against the #BlackAndTans on 3 November. Nearly every building was destroyed by #British forces, and the livestock shot.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, the #BlackAndTans, a British #police force, indiscriminately looted & burnt the city of #Cork in #Ireland. 300 homes & 40 businesses were destroyed, and dozens more damaged. Britain lied & blamed #IRA until a military inquiry proved they had done it.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, UK war criminals the #BlackAndTans rampaged through #Balbriggan, #Ireland, burning 50 homes and businesses, looting and beating residents, and killing two locals. Violence of this sort is a common feature of #colonial #occupation everywhere.

La lucha por la independencia de Irlanda no fue sencilla. En especial, cuando enviaron a los Black & Tans para reprimirlos.

Possibly reform the #BlackAndTans or reinforce his racial hierarchies and eugenics beliefs or advocate the use of chemical weapons against Kurds and Afghans or kill strikers in Liverpool …

The first contingents of the Black and Tans began arriving in Ireland on 7 January 1920. Alongside the Auxiliaries, the Black and Tans went on to commit many of atrocities and terrorise the civilian population in Ireland.

December 11th 1920 – In retaliation for a recent IRA ambush, British forces burn and loot numerous buildings in Cork city. Many civilians report being beaten, shot at, robbed and verbally abused by British forces: www.youtube.com/watch?v=itU6... #onthisday #ireland #independence #cork #blackandtans
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, during the #IrishWarOfIndependence, the UK's #BlackAndTans went on a rampage in #Balbriggan, burning 50 homes and businesses, looting and beating people, and killing two locals. Such atrocities highlight the violent basis of colonial occupation.
