TPD officers under investigation - Grand Jury?

The controlling segment of the population ...

This was my favorite phrase...

Bark for me, shadows.

 The controlling segment of the population have the ability to mislead the working poor and then walk-away praising themselves for being part of building a better city.  

This is very incorrect! The working poor drive the mean rich man away in his shiney car while he hangs out the sunroof praising himself.

I'm liking this guy's posts more and more.

Only a watch dog would understand the bark of another dog.  There is the possibility that even a watch dog could not even understand what is happening as he sleeps his watch away.

To the well one too many times, dear Tony.

But then again, you and him do share the same mindset.

Hate to interrupt your fart party --

Tulsa has been getting a bad rap, but it's not just a Tulsa thing.  Be glad you dont live in Seattle:


The ACLU of Washington and more than 30 commmunity groups made a formal request on Thursday to the Justice Department for a civil rights investigation of the Seattle Police Department citing six incidents since June 2009, the ACLU's letter asked for an investigation of the use of excessive force, especially against minorities.

Among the incidents cited were:

- An detective on a robbery investigation in April saying he would "beat the f****** Mexican piss out of a man.
- An arrest of a 17-year-old boy in October in which an officer was caught on videotape kicking the teen.
- A jaywalking stop by a police officer in June that result in the officer's punching a 17-year-old girl in the face.
- A fatal shooting of a deaf native American woodcarver using a 3" woodcarving blade to carve a piece of wood in the tourist district.

Dashcam video of the later complaint was released today:

Shortly after the shooting, you hear the female witness yell to Birk, "He didn't do anything." Birk responds, "Ma'am, he had a knife and he wouldn't drop it."
The officer has since been ordered to surrender his gun and badge.

No: but Tulsa has the same smell.  First it was public works with the plea bargaining and a slap on the hand with “you have been naughtily don’t do it again”.  Now it is the police department with one of its elite attorneys crying he will defend the city’s obligation (obligation; that is a catchy word)free whereas there is the smell again on who going to pay the tab.  It leaves one to wonder who is the student and who is the teacher.

The mayor (city manager) must feel he is being pushed into the corner again by his response.  The working poor are real people that no longer have a voice in self-governing.

One big blemish.

It's a shame.

Do not hire clowns for cops. There are too many good cops who do not deserve this affiliation with bad cops.

Two officers have been acquitted and one has been found guilty today in a police trial after a jury returned with a verdict in less than five hours in U.S. District Court in Tulsa.

The case alleged that some officers stole evidence while investigating drug offenses, with Officer Jeff Henderson later being found guilty of perjury. Sean Larkin was not charged with a crime, but federal prosecutors remain unwilling to have him testify for them in court.

The worse ones got immunity...

Now someone please explain to me the logic in having police dogs sniff money you just took out of your dirty pockets as some sort of evidentiary procedure?

TPD is back in the news today.

It seems five officers were sent to a suspect's father's house to arrest her due to several outstanding traffic citations. One officer also accidentally fired his weapon. The person that was arrested just happens to be a person who testified as a witness for prosectors during the corruption trial. She is also going to be a witness in a civil suite against the city and polic.

Reddit, one of the busiest sites in the US, has had quite a bit of discussion about it. I actually saw it there before I saw it anywhere else and it's not usually my source for local news. When it is, it is rarely good news.

Forcing entry to serve traffic warrants?    And then having a gun "accidentally discharge"?    I wonder how many "accidental threats" happened first?
Why can't TPD just do their jobs and quit trying to make the city look bad?
