I read that during the “mostly peaceful” protests and arsons last year after the idiot who stole a officers Taser and tried to use it on him and ended up dead, outside agencies said they would only come in in a “officer need help” situation.
I’m not a LEO apologist. When they do something bad, I criticize them for it. But, this is INSANE. A suspect who was an accomplice during an ARMED robbery ended up being shot because, if reporting is accurate, his responses to lawful commands during the arrest were - put charitably - unclear and ambiguous.
And for this, they’re doing five cops for manslaughter? GTFO. And, in Oklahoma, no less.
There was a great video floating around twitter last week of bodycam footage of two-cops responding to a potential domestic disturbance. It was AMAZING how quickly that incident went south for the responding officers. What a thankless, potentially deadly job.
Coming soon in police jargon with be the drive by as in drive by, don’t stop. Sub jargon, GEOFAACYC go end of watch alive and collect your check.
What color were the cops and what color was the criminal bastard?
All a jury needs to know.

As a matter of fact, thanks to Castle Rock v Gonzales, they can do that if and when they so choose already.
Yes, that’s when it started. Same situation since back then on no mutual aid unless it’s really, really bad.
Hardly anyone else in government is punished for doing their jobs, except police and soldiers.
Yup—any cop working in a jurisdiction where the local and state DA does not have their back needs to get out of there—now.
Also carry a legal protection plan for gun owners. Legal defense is expensive.
Here’s the video I mentioned. It’s bodycam footage from a shooting in Queens, NY last November that was just released last week. Police are escorting a domestic abuse victim in her home for her to safely gather her things. What happens and how quickly it happens is shocking.

I believe all involved parties were white.
Maybe folks from Tulsa need to come down the tollway and teach the citizens of Oklahoma City how to deal with criminals and their enablers.
Soros DA at work...
This should be a “no-brainer” for the jury...
Then the cops should sue the DA for harassment...
Agreed. I use US LawShield. I highly recommend it. Its less than a happy meal per month.
Oh wow.
