Did Trump get "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" from a segregationist police chief? [View all]

It appears that Trump took his "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" Twitter tag line this morning from Miami Police Chief Walter E. Headley's 1967 announcement of a "get tough" policy in black neighborhoods. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1967/12/28/issue.html

He, of course, doesn't get shit from anywhere, it's fed to him by the more book-smart racists in his admin. Why do I have a feeling "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" was also Stephen Miller's yearbook picture quote?
