But mine doesn't have a deek in it like yours.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Didn't you get drunk and steal water from Walmart?

The cops are not always wrong but they are not always right and will lie and cover for each other in an attempt to appear so. A necessary yet sometimes corrupt institution that needs reform which is impossible when they circle the wagons and can do no wrong.

Lol. No.

So obeying the law, not running away, not talking chit helps you to not get your ass kicked?

They should show that video to all kids in middle school.

so you were sober when you stole the water?

Frank, it was just an inaccurate audit at Walmart.

ed zachary!

A jury on Wednesday acquitted a white Oklahoma police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man last year, sparking outrage from the man's family and supporters.

Tulsa Officer Betty Jo Shelby said she shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher out of fear because he didn't obey commands to lie on the ground and appeared to reach inside his SUV for what she thought was a gun.

However, Crutcher's father, the Rev. Joey Crutcher, said in no uncertain terms: "Let it be known that I believe in my heart that Betty Shelby got away with murder."

Jurors reached their verdict after deliberating for just over nine hours.

A lawyer for Shelby said the officer was "elated" that the jury found her not guilty. "She's ready to get back to her life," defense attorney Shannon McMurray said.

The shooting unfolded on Sept. 16 of last year. Shelby said while she was headed to a different call, she encountered Crutcher near his SUV as it was stopped in the middle of a two-lane road. The officer testified that he refused to follow her commands -- and after he reached his hands into the SUV's open window, she fired.

Prosecutors told jurors that Shelby overreacted, arguing that Crutcher had his hands in the air and wasn't combative. Dashcam video showed the man falling to the ground shortly after he appeared to reach into the SUV.

Protesters briefly blocked a street outside the courthouse after the jury announced its verdict, shouting "No justice, no peace," and "Hands up, don't shoot." They also marched to the hotel where the officer was believed to be staying, Fox 23 reported.

"I ask Oklahomans to respect our criminal justice system and especially the jurors, who heard the evidence from both sides in this case. Those who disagree with the verdict have the right to express their opinions; I just ask that they do so in a peaceful manner. I appeal to Tulsans and others to remain calm. Our thoughts and prayers should be with the Terence Crutcher and Betty Shelby families during this difficult time," Gov. Mary Fallin responded.
An autopsy found Crutcher had PCP -- a drug that can trigger hallucinations -- in his system when he died. His wife said that was irrelevant to the case.

The defense attacked prosecutors for charging Shelby with first-degree manslaughter just six days after the shooting, saying the case was rushed.

Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said defense attorneys know it was "a bad shoot.”

The shooting was among several officer-involved shootings in recent years that helped galvanize the Black Lives Matter movement and prompted calls for more police accountability.


Film at 11.....

No riots last night.... I wouldn't be surprised if there was some organizing going on right now tho...

From what I understand, the prosecution has to prove, without a doubt, that the officer was NOT in fear for her life at the time of the shooting.... very tough to prove somethin like that if you ask me....

The morning after the verdict, Black Lives Matter Oklahoma shared this statement:

Once again, an American court has declared that the condition of being black is a capital offense. Once again, an American court has declared that a black person engaging in everyday behavior is a mortal threat and deserves to be shot down in the street and left to bleed out like a rabid animal. Once again, an American court has declared that ordinary standards of justice and the rule of law do not apply if the subject is an African American. Once again, an American court has declared that a police officer has the power and authority to act with impunity as judge, jury and executioner. To Betty Jo Shelby, we say that a jury may have acquitted you but we recognize that you violated your sworn oath to serve and protect. Rev. T. Sheri Dickerson, Executive Director of the Oklahoma chapter of Black Lives Matter, stated “Just like the Tulsa of 1921, there is no justice to be had for black people in Tulsa in 2017. Our deepest condolences go to the family of Terrence Crutcher and to the thousands of Tulsans who have to come to grips with the fact that the Tulsa Police Department claims the right to end the life of an unarmed, unaggressive citizen based upon the color of his skin. The irony is not lost on us that this verdict comes almost 96 years to the day after white Tulsans who felt threatened by a black man murdered more than 300 African American citizens, injured hundreds of others, raged, rioted and rampaged and ultimately dropped aerial bombs, rendering the formerly thriving Black Wall Street area of Tulsa’s Greenwood community a smoldering ruin. “Governor Fallin and Mayor Bartlett called for the people of Tulsa to be calm in the face of this miscarriage of justice,” Ms. Dickerson said, “but what they really ought to be asking for is justice for Terrence Crutcher and a judicial system that provides equal protection under the law. We will not tolerate having one set of laws for people of color and a different set of laws and standards for the police. Changes must be made.”
Black Lives Matter - OK demands:
Creation of a citizens’ advisory commission that will be charged with the investigation of police policies and procedures, identifying elements of racial and economic bias, and making recommendations to the Tulsa Police Department to ameliorate this bias. These changes will include appropriate policies, officer training and oversight to diminish the likelihood of future incidents in which an officer can shoot an unarmed citizen with impunity and to create systemic justice and limit the influence of personal bias on the part of police officers. · That Officer Betty Shelby immediately be dismissed from the Tulsa Police Department. · That Tulsa PD end the practice of placing police officers who shoot unarmed persons on suspension with full pay and benefits while they await trial.




I'm guessing it's not over....

interesting... I saw pics of the truck.. sure looked like the window was up to me...
