Grand jurors return murder indictment against Blackwell police lieutenant

I say not guilty.
Not all but some of Oklahoma is a meth fueled nut house.
The Lt. should at least be charged with poor shooting. 60 rounds? In town? Sounds a little reckless to me.
Who the hell pushed for an indictment? Is there something missing from this story? This is in OK.
I’m not buying it yet. It sounds to absurd to be true.
I wonder how the GJ was convinced to indict, and what kind of mission the prosecutor is on....
Sounds like I'd be voting "are you bleepin' kidding me?"
The job can’t pay enough to put up with this.
Who is on that Grand Jury? A bunch of Anarchists who don’t believe in Law and Order, just want to ‘bring the system down’?
You mean to tell me he can’t find an attorney good enough to stop this? It’s completely crazy. Why have cops at all if they cannot protect the public from exactly this sort of danger?
Do not know procedures in Oklahoma, but generally Grand Juries are advised by local Prosecutors. Assuming as much, this is a very strange situation. It should be quietly investigated, before it goes to trial.
Well. then he must be guilty.
I'd like to hear the grand jury defend that. I'd like to hear them explain their "logic" behind coming to this conclusion. She had demonstrably put other peoples' lives in danger by firing a deadly weapon at them. She was operating a vehicle - also a deadly weapon - evading law enforcement. Should they have waited until she plowed into some innocents before attempting to stop her?
Just what the * is an excusable or justifiable cause? Crazy person shooting up the town sounds extremely justifiable to me.
Why was it presented to the Grand Jury?
The DA is probably a flaming lib, anti-2nd, gun/cop-hater.
IMHO, he is going to be very well compensated for this idiocy... Just what were the criteria used in seating the grand jury? Only demoncrats, antifa, moslems, and prison escapees were selected??
Please ping me if you hear any updates on this case.

WHO is the district attorney?
Where did the other 59 rounds go? Spray and pray?
I lived in Oklahoma for a long time. The local police "Them v Us" attitude is VERY strong. Cops get a pass where mere civilians do not. I personally saw a local, off duty and staggering drunk, roll his car at the I-40 Shawnee exit. Called 911, and the drunk blue brother just got a ride home.
There is the habit of hiring warm-to-the-touch officers, who stagger through state training with a nod to the local Good Ol' Boy network. The Oklahoma FOP would protect Charles Manson if he had a badge.
Okie cops, and tribal police, and county mounties are notorious for 56 in a 55 tickets, on the assumption that they won't be contested.
I'll wait for more data.
WTF?
The Grand Jury and prosecutor should be brought up on charges.
The officers actions were immediate and justified.
The Grand Jury is busy looking at the situation through the lense of being "politically correct."
” pulled in behind the active shooter’s vehicle.”
fired through the front windhield.
With magic bullets? HTF do you do that?
