VOLUNTEER INSURANCE EXEC. COP KILLS SUSPECT

      This cop shooting is really a doozey when you hear his is reason for killing the suspect. I am not even going to argue the fact the suspect was trying to sell a gun to an undercover cop at the time of the incident. Nor am I interested in the fact the cop was white and suspect black. What I am concerned about is the fact this Oklahoma Police Force allows volunteer reserve deputies to be put into situations they are clearly not experienced enough to deal with. This is just insane who they give guns to. This guy evidently is the Barney Fife of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Sheriff's department. Instead of shooting himself in his own foot, he shot another man and his defense is "I thought I was using my stun gun".

     The story goes something like this; A crime task force had been put into place to help stop violent crime in Tulsa and when I hear the words "Task Force" it makes me think that  police agencies are pulling the best of their best
 together to stop whatever it is. A Serial Killing task force need their best and brightest officers to help stop an elusive killer. And being that the first time I heard of a task force being put together it was one to stop a Serial Killer: I guess I just assumed that all other types of task forces put together to stop elusive criminals would also use their best men. Anyway, the task force he was working with last week caught a man trying to sell a gun to an undercover detective. They then got the gun away from him without incident,but,I guess, he tried to get away and  when they finally got him and were trying to handcuff him he started resisting arrest to some degree and the cop who was trying to subdue him shot and killed him. He is a 73 year old retired insurance executive ,who, from the many  accounts I have read was also a volunteer. I am not sure what "volunteer" means in this context. But, the wording I have been reading makes me think he was not trained nearly as well as the regular employees of the Sheriff office is, but I do not know if that is the case. It just makes me think this. But, I do not think any man of 73 years should be doing a job where he would have to right with another man who is almost 30 years his jr. Regardless of what anyone says when you get older almost all of your reflexes become slower and a lot are at risk of senility. I know for a fact that some elderly people are very good at hiding the fact that their minds are not as sharp as they were even ten years previous. I am not saying this is the rule,but these things do happen to many old people.I know my father had to take his mother's car away from her, and she fought him over it. Her car looked like an alcoholics car used to look back in the day when people did not get in too much trouble over drinking and driving. It had survived 7 or 8 little fender benders and scrapes down the sides because she lost her ability to judge distance like she had in the past. This was not due to failing eyesight either. But, failing eyesight is another problem we have in our old age.

       Our bodies do not react as well as they used to when we are under stress too. Let alone how our minds do not deal with it as well as it used to. I know that when I am under stress for a long time that my short term memory is not half as good as it normally is. I thought I was getting Alzheimer at 47 years old. I could walk into the kitchen and place my keys down and not remember what I did with them an hour later. I would search for my glasses and have them on my head. One time I was making my ill father food and he asked me for bread and I walked back to the cupboard to get it and I then realized I had it in my hand all a long. This started to scare me really bad and I was even becoming very self-conscious over it. When I told my doctor about how bad my short term memory was getting she told me it was probably because I was under a great deal of stress and I thought she was crazy. I did not think stress could do all the things that she told me it could affect. But, when I moved away to another state and left the extremely stressful environment I was living in. I could not believe how my memory came back within a week after the stress was gone.

      Because of my experience with stress and knowing how my parents and grandparents got when they got older I thought that just maybe this man was telling the truth. I thought his story was possible that he became confused when he was under a huge amount of instant stress when he was wrestling with this man who is almost 3 decades younger. Then the fear he would have had of this man over powering him because he was so old made me start to really consider his excuse as being true. However, after reading what the witnesses had to say and the things he said to the man after he knew full well that he just shot him and when the suspect said he could not breathe and this old bastard told him to "Fuck his breathing" and told him it was basically his own fault for running that he shot him I knew the cop shot him intentionally. I now believe that the man said sorry at first just to try and give this excuse of being old and confused a truthful ring to it. And if this is the case it was obviously, premeditated murder, because he has previously thought about giving this excuse when something like this happened.  I thought I may be reaching too far, because why would this man think about it enough to  have an excuse ready. Then it hit me. With all of this Ferguson BS going on I am sure every police officer in America has thought about a subject  shooting them, it has seemingly became a very valid thing for them to think about. I am not saying that all cops are bad,but I am saying that some cops are very worried about being targeted ,especially when they are old and have volunteered to be put in this situation. I wonder what all he has told others about the Ferguson situation. I could be wrong, but I know wonder why in the hell would they put an old man who is not a regular cop in this situation. I would like to see this cop take a lie detector test about his motivation for shooting this man. I know that some guilty people can pass them,but I would still like to see his results if he took one.the-73-year-old-reserve-cop-who-mihttp://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/video-shows-tulsa-man-shot-deputy-meant-stun-article-1.2181787stook-his-gun-for-a-taser//http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/video-shows-tulsa-man-shot-deputy-meant-stun-article-1.2181787
