How can we treat that event?

There were 4 deaths--two veterans and 2 policemen. These occurred when the DC police, at President Hoovers order,to uese force disperse the veterans in their encampment. Until tha tpoint, the entire affair had been peaceful.
The consequences were simple--the use of force, both the police and later by the Army, on Hoover's orders to forcibly remove Americans--all veterans and 20% with service-incurred disabilities--who were peacefully exercising their rights under the Constitution--ended any chance for the Republicans to win the 1932 election.
