That's so sad! The poor guy's offense was sleeping and being nearly deaf! They can always use the excuse, "I feared for my life." That's always worked for them in the past.
This reminds me of the man who was walking down the street with a pellet gun that he'd just bought. The officer supposedly yelled at him a few times and said he didn't comply so he shot him in the back several times, killing the man. While on the witness stand, they'd asked the shooter if there was any reason that the man didn't comply and the officer said there was no reason. They had video from local stores showing the man just before he was shot and he was wearing ear buds, but when more responders arrived, the buds were in his pocket. You just have to wonder who put them there.

Throwdown: Officer Slager plants a weapon next to the body of his victim: Grand Jury: "It Was Murder"http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/walter-scott-shooting/walter-scott-shooting-grand-jury-returns-murder-indictment-against-cop-n371626...all thanks to a video police didn't know about. Another "video cops didn't know about" broke the chain of lies in the recent Waco Massacre: Police thought they had the only copy of the surveillance video from the Texas restaurant where gunfire erupted, killing nine people. They werent concerned that the video contradicted their version of events in Waco, because no one would ever see it... but as officials at the headquarters of the Twin Peaks chain became dismayed at the dishonest portrayal of events there, they invited the Associated Press to view their secure copy of the video, preserved on corporate servers police couldnt reach in time to seize.
As witnesses to the shooting trickle out of jail, the common theme of a single man shooting another in the arm (triggering a fusillade of assault rifle fire from ATF and SWAT) contrasts sharply with the colorful narrative of police bravely stopping an all-out biker war.

I'd be happy if Denton were assigned to a tiny desk in a back room and never allowed on the street again. He'd have an in-box and an out-box, but the in-box would always be empty.
Well, he wasn't. OWASSO — An Owasso police officer who was fired in 2011 for violating the department's use-of-force policy — and later reinstated — is again the target of excessive force allegations, the officer's attorney said Wednesday.
Mike Denton, who rejoined the police force in September, has been placed on paid administrative leave while the Police Department investigates the new allegations, Denton's attorney, Pat Hunt, said.
Owasso police officers participated in a vehicle pursuit that ended near Nowata on Sunday. The driver turns east into a field at the end of the pursuit and is surrounded by several officers, one of whom breaks the driver's side window. Soon afterward, a different officer can be seen thrusting the barrel of a rifle through that window about six times.
After the driver is removed from the vehicle, the same officer is shown slamming the butt end of the weapon about half a dozen times toward a target that is obstructed from (dashcam) view.http://www.tulsaworld.com/communities/owasso/news/suspended-owasso-police-officer-is-same-one-fired-in-for/article_d536d7e6-eb3c-54ef-97fc-e43e1586766e.html

I understand he didn't hit the suspect with the butt of the shotgun. He used the barrel. More video may be available.

This is an unfortunate situation where Owasso tried to do the right thing and fire this guy, only to be forced to rehire him. I suspect that if they had assigned him to a desk back at HQ, he would have sued for retaliation and won. Now Owasso will be paying to settle another case. Hopefully, Owasso will fire him again and this time it will stick.

Interesting how that works. http://www.fox23.com/videos/news/nowata-police-department-dash-cam-video/vDT9CSOwasso deserves credit for making a good-faith effort the first time around, though.

How appropriate that "Let's Dance" by David Bowie is playing in the Officers car. I liked Officer Farva showing up late to the scene pulling his pants up and then getting a celebratory slap on the chest like he had done something. I'm pretty sure the barrel end of that shotgun kinda smarts against the skull. That video would make a great candidate for the Bad Lip Reading guys.

Whew. That's a relief. He wasn't Black. We'll never hear of this again.

Whew. That's a relief. He wasn't Black. We'll never hear of this again. An appeals court ruled Wednesday that a Tulsa County sheriff’s deputy who shot an unarmed man will have to face an excessive-force lawsuit.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 against Deputy Lamont Hill’s claim that he is immune from the lawsuit, which stems from a domestic disturbance call in 2010. The caller to 911 said the man, Donald Francis King, was making threats. Hill shot King outside his home in the 7400 block of North Iroquois Avenue.
The Denver-based court, in a 19-page decision, ruled that “the law was clearly established that an officer could not shoot an unarmed man who did not pose any actual threat to the officer or to others.”
“We conclude … that a reasonable officer in Deputy Hill’s circumstances would have understood that shooting Mr. King was unconstitutional deadly force in violation of the Fourth Amendment,” the judges wrote. The court pointed to conflicting versions of what occurred, including apparent discrepancies in Hill’s accounts of the event. In one account, Hill said he was in fear for his life.http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/courts/excessive-force-lawsuit-can-proceed-against-tulsa-county-deputy-appeals/article_4c2a1635-d0f8-5281-bd6a-1f18b9de20a4.html

Wow. An incident from 2010. Glad the victim was able to get swift Judicial action. Oh sorry. After reading that. It looks like it might still be going on. Feet dragging much?

We're Number One Again YAY !!Oklahoma top state in 2015 police fatal shootings per capita
Recent analyses by two national publications, including The Washington Post, of fatal encounters with United States law enforcement in 2015 have concluded Oklahoma has the highest amount of such incidents per capita and is a top 5 state in police-involved fatalities this year. Police union attorney Gary James blames “a lack of respect” for people in uniform for the deaths of people in custody. “There’s no respect for what these guys do day in and day out,” James said. “I don’t think anyone understands. The law is not completely clear in every state and federal jurisdiction ... you’re asking a police officer to make a judgment call in seconds.” http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/crimewatch/oklahoma-top-state-in-police-fatal-shootings-per-capita/article_464574ef-c5ec-58be-8fbe-ff4c40974de9.html
