Oklahoma

Three Oklahoma cops were suspended and a supervisor reprimanded for their role in the pepper spraying of an 84-year-old woman after barging into her home without a warrant in August.
But it is not even clear if the Muskogee cop who pepper sprayed the woman was disciplined.

Oklahoma is arguably the reddest state in the country. LBJ beat Goldwater in 1964 but that was it. After that the state belonged to the GOP. The last Democrat to carry even one county was Gore in 2000. Both senators and all 5 House members are far right Republicans-- as is the governor. The state Senate has 40 Republicans and 8 Democrats and the state House has 71 Republicans and 28 Democrats. The state Democratic Party atrophied and died. Pollsters aren't even doing surveys of the state.

Since 2012, scientists have suspected that the earthquakes plaguing Texas and Oklahoma are results of wastewater injections from fracking and conventional drilling. And while they were relatively certain that the 2012 4.8 earthquake that rocked Eastern Texas was as a result of this phenomenon, they were still searching for definitive proof.

Five days after Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby shot and killed Terence Crutcher after the 40-year-old placed his hands in the air, the Oklahoma cop was charged with first-degree manslaughter, according to Fox 23.
Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler announced the news moments ago in a press conference, which you can view here.

The video showing an Oklahoma cop shoot and kill Terence Crutcher after he had his hands in the air, only to later claim he was not complying, is so outrageous that even an Ohio police chief took to social media to voice his disgust.
And that is something we never see.

Oklahoma police initially said Terence Crutcher would not comply, which is why he had to die, never mind the fact that his only crime was driving a car that had stalled in the middle of the street, which, of course, is not a crime.
But police videos released today shows he was complying when he was shot dead on Friday, raising both arms in the air after police had pulled up to his stalled vehicle.

Although the Oklahoma media has had the four unedited police videos from the night cops pepper sprayed an 84-year-old woman, they have yet to post the videos in their entirety, showing us only short clips edited into their news packages.
But thanks to PINAC’s Investigative Researcher Felipe Hemming, we obtained the videos the same afternoon he asked for them.
We’ve posted them below before we even have had the chance to view them because you never know what you will find.Let us know if anything sticks out for you.

In the ensuing moments after Oklahoma police pepper sprayed an 84-year-old woman after kicking her door down without a warrant to arrest her son for running a stop sign, one cop tells another cop that “we can spin it” in order to justify their questionable tactics.
But Muskogee police are having a tough time spinning the incident considering it was all caught on body cam video.
