Stay the hell in your car.
Do ask told.
Obey the officer.
Get your ticket.
Go to da crib.
Pop open a 40.
Fire up a blunt.
Live another day.
Granted there are untrained bad cops, yet no untrained bad cop wakes up in the morning and says "today I will go to work and shoot someone"

BB,
A very good analysis that people should pay attention to!!! Thank you for posting that!
As for the Betty Shelby case, it has been discussed here locally in Tulsa for quite some time. From what I could gather, Mr. C had multiple arrests, and was a known PCP user to local law enforcement.
That is my only opinion, other than to add that the OKC Black Lives Matter President was here for the verdict reading, and was chomping at the bit to get a real riot going in DT Tulsa. Didn't happen.
WHY WAS SHE HERE?????????
But the quote they gave sure made the papers.
LEO's face a lot of unknowns for sure. But as one very, very wise QP here once told me; You were not there, so how do you know what happened? And in my place I shall always remain, as armchair QB'ing is not my cup of tea.

TULSA, Oklahoma -
People took to the streets of downtown Tulsa Wednesday night into Thursday morning, reacting to the not guilty verdict for Betty Shelby.
One of the protests lasted well into the morning.
By early May 18 at 5th and Denver, it was much quieter, but a few hours earlier, protesters blocked the streets and police were out trying to get them to calm down.
The protests eventually moved to the sidewalks, where several conversations broke out between people on both sides.
News On 6 heard one man say he thought justice was served and that Betty Shelby was rightfully acquitted.
But we heard others say Shelby was found not guilty because she's a cop and thinks she might be above the law.
We talked to people on both sides about how everyone responded.
"Sometimes, change comes from starting the conversation," said Black Lives Matter OKC Exec. Director T Sheri Dickerson.
But others said the streets of Tulsa isn't the place for the protests.
"Talk about it on Facebook or somewhere else. Just not on the street. You don't have to block traffic," said Brandon Henson.
We asked police dispatchers if they had any arrests but they say they're not sure.
