The killing of Eric Harris

On April 2, a "reserve officer" in the Tulsa Sheriff's Department, who had basically bought his way into the program by donating cars, computers, and weapons, was allowed to participate in a sting operation while armed with a gun and a Taser. Claiming that he meant to use his Taser on a fleeing suspect, he instead shot him with his pistol and killed him.



After nearly two weeks of being defended by his friend, the sheriff, on April 13, he was charged with 2nd degree Manslaughter.

The Tulsa World now claims that some of the documentation of Bates' training was falsified. This link will take you to a succession of brief video news reports from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/16/us/tulsa-shooting-robert-bates-training/index.html
