Popular culture reference

"Can't we all just get along?"

Was also referenced in the film Naked Gun ​33 1⁄3: The Final Insult. Don't know if it worth including. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.45.106 (talk) 12:05, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

It isn't. Zaathras (talk) 20:47, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Reginald Denny-

There is no mention of the attack on Reginald Denny, the truck driver who was severely beaten during the aftermath of the police trials. It has its own Misplaced Pages page; but it should at least be referenced from here. Cross Reference (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
