The Tulsa Police Department has routinely been ahead of the curve when it comes to identifying their officers who shoot suspects, often releasing the officer's identity within 48 hours of the shooting.

But at a time when agencies across the state have put a tighter grip on the release of information following officer-involved shootings, TPD is now following suit.

...and yet TPD still calls TV crime reporters to schedule "perp walks" to publicly shame people only suspected of crimes.

This seems somewhat inconsistent.

In this case, probably to spin how to present one cop shooting another...??

And Jr is a consummate dipstick...

Nothing wrong with that shooting by TPD.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
