POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[HairOfTheDog]

UPDATE:

The shit continues to get deeper in the case of the Oklahoma sheriff's deputy reservist. Would anyone be surprised to learn there is some lying going on?

I would not be surprised at all if there is a cover-up in play here, including falsification of some of Bates' training certs.


I think insurance company CEO Bates (left) bought a badge, pure and simple. He was not qualified to be in the field and he, along with the Tulsa PD, are liable for Eric Harris' (right) death, whether Bates really mistook his gun for his taser or intentionally shot Harris. Either way, they're liable.

Harris was no angel, but he was subdued when he was shot. It's very disturbing to me hearing him scream out several times in total shock, "he shot me, he shot me" and hearing the officer who had him pinned by the head telling the dying man that he essentially didn't give a shit if he could breathe or not.

The Tulsa Sheriff's whose good buddy Robert Bates shot to death Eric Harris has been indicted. Good.



The grand jury's findings announced today found that ^ Sheriff Glanz allowed his buddy Robert Bates to serve although Bates was not adequately trained, and that Bates was afforded special treatment.

The panel accused Glanz of refusing to perform his official duties for not promptly releasing documents as part of an internal investigation of volunteer deputy Robert Bates. It also recommended that Glanz be removed from office.

A lawyer for Glanz says Glanz plans to resign before a Nov. 10 hearing on the indictments.

Bates, who shot to death Eric Harris when he mistook his police-issued pistol for his taser, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Eric Harris.
