I guess the cops should have waited and confirmed he was in fact reaching for a gun and pointing it at them before they shot... I dunno...


It just seems like common sense to me.. there would have been plenty of time to complain about being treated unfairly, if that was the case, to a judge or an attorney the next morning.. just sit down or lay down or what ever they ask.. especially if there's a gun pointed at you...


I think they said the Lady cop got to the scene first and called for back-up.. I'm guessing he had none or very little respect for the Lady cop and things prolly got weird...

It's a bad deal all around.... 😟

Not doing what the cop is telling them to do . Kill them . If the cop says hey you Jews wear stars . Do it .if the cop says everyone give us your guns do it . To many people are blindly supporting the police . I don't see it as a race thing but as an economic one but I'm light skinned so I don't know anything about racism .

Terrible statement cove. During the Holocaust Jewish people were made to wear yellow stars.

I'm ok with the Cove comments as written. Point made and not 'classless' to me.

I'm just down the fence from TW on the next post. I've always believed that cop authority is to be respected. And even if not truly respected or undeserved, the only smart move is to pretend.
But, its also clear to me that a lot of cops are screwing up lately....in some pretty surprising and glaring ways...while knowing full well that the eyes of the world are watching every move. I've been in those shoes and personally know very well how even the most 'routine' traffic stop can put even the best officers in anxious, if not scary and precarious positions. And I get that cops have been targeted and that makes things even worse...but there's too many people killed who do not present an immediate lethal threat. Hindsight/armchairing is unfair, but jeez....I get that people are upset

The thing in Tulsa is pretty clear depending on where you're standing... He had no respect for the female officer and refused to comply and got shot... or she was trigger happy and shot him because he didn't comply... either way, he shoulda just complied... 😟



it is interesting how the media is making him out to be a boy scout tho.. they reported he was a student at TCC but the school said the evening class he enrolled in was canceled so he never actually attended.. He was making an effort tho I guess.. 😟

I think if I felt I was being harassed I'd make it clear verbally they were being **** but you can bet my hands will be where they can see them... And I'm sure as hell not going to make any sudden moves or walk away.. there's gonna be time to sort all the bad stuff out later... 😟

I'm surprised (no I'm not) at how many people here are damn sure people should always do exactly what authority tells you. And that the appropriate escalation for not doing what an authority figure tells you is getting shot.
