With all the sarcasm I can muster, thank you for your righteous, infallible judgment before all facts are known.
BTW, perhaps you should watch the video. I think (my opinion) that it clearly dispels slippage on an underwater object.
I understand the anger. But anger, to be productive must be directed in the proper direction. To quote a federal judge to a complaining lawyer, “Counselor, it appears your wounds are self inflicted.”
I’m still waiting for the results of the full investigation. I won’t form a judgment based on sound bites and short news blurbs. If the Trooper is not justified, I will be the first to call for discipline/prosecution. But, until there is more meat on the bones I refuse to start picking at the skeleton.
JLS, I hope you are well my FRiend. I appreciate the contributions you have made to this forum over the years.

I understand you point of view, but mine was formed during Katrina. Either you have a natural disaster and an emergency or you don’t. If you have a natural disaster then you must act differently.
You don’t send FEMA disaster workers to sexual harassment classes first. You don’t charge MDs with murder for making the best of a bad situation. You don’t shoot citizens for disrespecting you disrespecting them as in what I saw in the video.
You try to help out people save their lives. Oklahoma seems to have real problem here particularly Oklahoma trooper thinking they are so important that other people’s emergencies must stop while the public bows down to them. You think these guys were a bit upset that they had two morons yelling at them while they were trying to save their property in a flood?
BTW, here is another example of an Oklahoma trooper thinking he is more important than he is:

I do not care whether or not technically this moron cop can get away with shooting this guy. He took a natural disaster and made it worse. How much more scum can you be.
