Featured Graphic video of Tulsa man as he was killed by cop who thought he pulled taser

So, what else is new? It was totally expected. If I was his family, I'd sue as well.

Bottom line... Another man that resisted arrest and ran from the police is dead. The lawsuit won't help him at all.

When will they ever learn?

Btw, the city of Tulsa is not involved in any of this.

Ann, me thinks you finally peeled back the thin veil of this member and exposed his hate filled agenda on this board. He lives to make everything a racially motivated act of hate by whites against blacks.

 

That seems to be a direct contradiction. First you want him drawn and quartered, BUT, if he's a Christian, you'd "let him slide?" :BangHead: please explain your reasoning!

 

And it turns out his "training" was not for 800 hours but for 300 hours. Although if you're going to lie about it, might as well go all in and say it was for 800 hours.

Bates worked for the Tulsa Police Department for a year in the 1960s. He'd been a reserve deputy since 2008, with 300 hours of training and 1,100 hours of community policing experience, according to the Sheriff's Office.

It's not in Zaac's nature to talk context.

 

The 73 year old guy, Robert Bates, that shot a suspect is claiming he took firearm training classes from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department. Maricopa County denies they ever trained Bates.

Lisa Allen, chief media relations office for the sheriff's office there, said they had no record of Bates attending their training.

In fact, Allen said, that training is only available to members of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, meaning Bates would not have been eligible. The class, Allen said, has only been offered three times.

"We don't allow out-of-state people to take the class," she said.

Meanwhile, the certification papers proving Bates received firearm training can't be found. And the Tulsa Sheriff's Department now admits that training requirements may be waived at the Sheriff's discretion:

Maj. Shannon Clark of the sheriff's office did say it's possible that some training requirements may have been waived. Sheriff Stanley Glanz has the authority to waive any department policies, Clark said.

"The policies within our organization are signed off by the sheriff, but there are also policies that give the sheriff the ability to waive any policy within our organization. That's part of being a sheriff's office," Clark told the newspaper.

At this point, why does it matter? He obviously knew how to use a gun.

Was he taser trained would be more pertinent.

Robert Bates is taking a family vacation in the Bahamas.

Yes, I realize he is free on $25,000 bail, but what kind of a message does it send the community to go on vacation a less than a week after you post bail?

 

Why does it matter? Will it make them more likely to think he pulled the trigger? The facts are what they are.

He may be taking a last fling at freedom before incarceration. He may be just getting away from agressive reporters.

What exactly is wrong with that?

 

I dunno, it just seems....wrong.
