Very interesting powerpoint released by Muskogee PD, with transcript of cops. Officer is a veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Video is also available from other local media for example KTUL-8.
Comments on KOTV site are... not surprising.
“..,.Someone does the right thing and calls the cops and next thing you know the stupid young man stupidly gets himself killed....”

Yep, yet another contender for the 2015 Darwin Award.
Well, he pretty much asked for it.
Why was the man being killed out of respect for his family?/s
The Muskogee Police Department said it will not comment on the investigation into the shooting.
Except for the 10-15 defensive statements in the article. And a PowerPoint. And other stuff.
Some real morons. That Michelle is a winner.
This info was also posted on FR earlier with a link to the Tulsa World article that had the full, unedited, unblurred video. I’d recommend that everybody go there to see it before they get pressured to edit the video.

Tulsa World article with full video, including slow-mo:
That guy probably saved for months from selling food stamp meat to buy that gun.
Muskogee....
I was just there, a month ago.
Nice casinos, dying town.
That’s a good presentation.
Among other things, the suspect must have been one clumsy s.o.b.
Seems they learned quite a bit from the Saint Swisher Sweets episode.
Al Sharpton is deeply saddened.
1) It’s a sad state of affairs when a police department feels it is necessary for them to release this sort of documentation to ‘justify’ their actions.
2) The officer was wearing the same sort of body cameras that Obama wants to fund for all police departments.
3) It is a testament to modern firearms design that the suspect dropped a loaded gun with the hammer cocked, not once but twice, and the gun didn’t go off.
Fantastic summary...
Well, he pretty much asked for it.
I agree. So, why muddy the investigation with pictures (some clear, some not), video, a PowerPoint with irrelevant data (ex: military service) and an inaccurate transcript?
snip 1:30 Ok. What are you shaking for?
What he said was, Why you shakin for?
I shoulda looked first. Thanks for posting the link to Tulsa World.
Terrence took his gun and went to that wedding to start trouble. My guess: Gun is illegal, Terrence has a criminal record, had the officer not showed up someone's wedding would have been ruined in a different way. A newlywed husband and probably bride would be dead.
This is an excellent presentation—thanks for posting the link; the Muskogee Police department deserves commendation for RAPIDLY putting this together. It’s good that the cop had a body cam or Al Sharpton would be all over this.
Felon died with his underwear showing, facedown in a gutter with his brains on the road.......
......what a waste.
