I live in Oklahoma City. I have to say the riots we experienced were tame compared to other cities after the death of George Floyd, but riots and violence did happen. Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater decided to "get-tough" and charge some of the protesters with terrorism, rioting, and assault as a way to stop future riots.

Protesters from the Black Emergency Response Team (BERT) at the University of Oklahoma have staged sit-ins at interim President Joseph Harroz's office in Evans Hall to demand the resignation of Provost (senior administrative official) Kyle Harper. The protesters claim Harper "allows racism to fester on campus" after two professors used the n-word in classrooms, the College Fix reports.
