In an open letter posted to the Rogers County Sheriff's Office's Facebook page on Monday, (Rogers County Sheriff Scott) Walton accuses Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler and Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan of "dealing an incredible blow to the entire American law enforcement community."

I read that Walton is facing re-election later this year and his self-serving statements about Shelby are no more than red meat for his base, you know, angry, frightened white folks.

Sorry Shrek, police don't have the right to kill because they're spooked.

It was a really ugly week for that department.

When the bodycam audio finally turns on, you can hear the children scream in horror after seeing their service dogs being shot:

My God, people...

FFS is more like it.  How many came to the conclusion Shelby doesn't belong in that sort of situation again?  This is akin to hiring Robert Bates as a reservist at another department when he gets out of jail.

I'll be very blunt here.  Walton is an idiot.  This was a straight PR move.

Walton is the former Tulsa cop who publicly calls Tulsa cops cowards

Former Tulsa Police Officer Betty Shelby wants all court records related to her manslaughter case to be sealed from public view in the interest of her privacy

The jury found her not guilty.  She has been acquitted by our system.  While many people certainly have and are entitled to and opinion on that fact, it doesn't appear she is petitioning the court for any special treatment, just making a motion that is allowed by law and many people request: 22 OS 18

A. Persons authorized to file a motion for expungement, as provided herein, must be within one of the following categories:

1. The person has been acquitted;
. . .
B. For purposes of this act, "expungement" shall mean the sealing of criminal records, as well as any public civil record, involving actions brought by and against the State of Oklahoma arising from the same arrest, transaction or occurrence.

There is still another trial, correct?

This wasn't a hung jury, she was acquitted. She is Not Guilty under the law.

Right on cue:

...and I believe Shelby has a civil trial coming.  Sealing the public records beforehand might be a bit premature.

What if he was deaf or autistic and unable to follow orders?

It would be Déjà Vu.

You left off the part where the deaf man was coming at police with a metal pipe that had a leather grip strap. Now, proceed with your regularly scheduled anti-police diaper wetting.

I think he got the important parts...   When an officer pulls up and you are sitting on the porch... 

Do you:

1) Wave politely and go on about your day
2) Walk down to have a friendly deaf chat
3) Grab your metal pipe that you use in case of dog attack (you never know what will happen between the porch and the curb) and approach the officers...  When they look paranoid and reach for their guns, you continue to advance toward them, because obviously they need protection from the angry stray dog behind them.
