RAW VIDEO: Muskogee officer-involved shooting
++This is graphic video++ Muskogee, Oklahoma - January 17, 2015 Police are called to a wedding because a man, Terrence Walker, originally from the Houston ar...
Notice two points: 1:15 the man stops running and pulls the gun, and 6:33 the cop collapses after killing the man. What are your thoughts? Good call or bad call?
(Background info from the original YouTube poster: Muskogee, Oklahoma - January 17, 2015: Police are called to a wedding because a man, Terrence Walker, originally from the Houston area, had allegedly threatened to kill a woman. The arriving officer is tense not knowing what he would encounter or what to expect)

I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6, honored by 7 and bugled by one.
He had a gun. So did I. I just happen to be better with mine.

Ok, soi commented before watching the video. Now that I have, that cop is good. In the video, I was stuck watching the whole thing. By the time my brain said "shoot" I would've been shot at. Commend this officer for having the sight and judgement to end a situation unfolding. His actions were well warranted. Did you hear the crowd in the background saying "he didn't have no gun". People like that assuming the CIP is lying are problems. This officer is a bad ass hero in my book.

I just think it's great that the police officer had a body camera. Without the body camera, there could be a big case about the fact that somebody was shot in the back 3-4 times. With the video, now the evidence is out there for a fair review and without as much bias by those with political motivations. I am a big supporter for video cameras on all cops to bring more transparency.

I was thinking the same thing. If I were the cop, one of my first comments would have been, "thank God I have a camera".

Tough call, but I'm giving this one to the police officer on the ground.
Yes, yes, yes, I know - "But the 'suspect' wasn't acting aggressively towards the pig and the pig gunned him down in cold blood." - PIFFLE. Someone, obviously, doesn't know diddly about the ROE or the law.
Yes, yes, yes, I know - "But the pig could have shot him in the leg and disabled him." - [INCREDIBLY LOUD SNORT OF DERISION] Someone, obviously, doesn't know diddly about weapons and/or shooting and/or targets.
What is going to be interesting is the news follow up on this one when the reason why the person fled comes out. Don't expect that to get as much publicity as "Another Killer Cop Shoots A Black Man In The Back" does.
PS - I was very pleasantly surprised to see the Muskogee Police responding in force WITHOUT looking like Imperial Storm Troopers and also WITHOUT a massive display of weaponry. It's a good thing that the local media weren't the ones who shot the video.

(snickers)... he said "piffle".
The COL has the right of it. Cops carry guns for reasons like this. Cop is righteous on this.
