Photojournalists get to see incredible things. The Tulsa World s photo department of six has a combined 150 years of experience, so weâve all covered events both big and small. But this year was different.Â
As I answered phone calls and texts while working with photographers in the field, I kept hearing: âIâve never seen this before.â
Mike Simons and Ian Maule were on an Interstate 244 overpass with Black Lives Matter protesters when a pickup driver drove through the crowd. They were there when Tulsa Police and protesters clashed in Tulsa s Brookside neighborhood and when tear gas was launched near Woodland Hills Mall.Â
