I have a suspicion there's probably more to the story leading up to this than just an innocent pool party where there were too many black folk hanging around.
But that cop was completely out of line. And shouldn't be a cop at all. Ever.
lulz at the "barrel roll" comment too. It looks like he tripped while running in. Don't expect less from that website though.
You know, that's OKC Metro where I happen to pay taxes. And I'd much rather pay for something like this than keeping a bunch of lazy individuals on welfare.
So you and Ras both can **** yourself and keep your douche comments to yourselves.

Oklahoma Taxpayer.
Thanks for reposting this. Couldn't get it to play on my phone before. Much better than the pause unpause method.
Clears up a lot while raising new questions.
It shows that I was incorrect concerning the other officers. They were clearly involved.
It also shows that the other two guys were complying while Dillon walked off.
We can only assume that the officers gave some commands to Dillon that he failed to comply to. We don't know exactly what was being said because they declined to release that portion of audio.
What this clip also brings into question is whether Dillon ever actually put his hands down his waistband. Looking at this clip, it looks more like he grabbed his waistband to pull his pants up.
The DA brings up the point about the bend in his elbows, which is consistent with hands moving upward. They never unbend which would be consistent with hands going down into his waistband.
If this is the case, his hands would've been visible at all times to at least one officer. The one who didn't have his body cam on.
Here is what we know for fact. The officer never saw a gun. He never saw anything that looked like a gun. He shot and killed a man.
Given the fact that everything that's been released so far shows the officer in the best light possible, I have to wonder about what is not included. What is being said that they purposely removed? What is Dillon saying? What are the two officers saying? Would it affect opinions? If not, why leave it out?
Based on what I've seen of this so far, I don't believe the officer should go to prison. I do believe he should loose his job.
Failing to immediately follow a lawful order cost Dillon his life.
Shooting an unarmed man should, at a minimum, cost the officer his job. A small price in comparison.
The officer who failed to turn on his cam should be suspended without pay.
And if I'm ever charged with a crime, please give me a DA like thi one. I'd have no need for a defense attorney.
Let's not forget, city housing ordinance enforced by swat team no less. I think the answer to your question is obvious. We have far too many laws on the books that do absolutely nothing, except generate revenue for the leviathan state.
As for the overzealous enforcement of these "laws" well, your money, or your life. Choose.

It sounds like it's a family of drug dealers (the dog was a pit bull, which is pretty common for them). This is what the reporter did not include in the story:
The family had terrorized the neighborhood for years, had many, many cars visiting throughout the day and all night. The individuals in these cars would drive them at a high rate of speed putting children, and yes, even other dogs at risk. The Police were called almost daily to this house. No one should feel sorry for this family.
1) Misleading title. He didn't nearly shoot anyone. He never fired.
2) He drew his firearm because people were interfering with his efforts to detain the one girl, including someone coming up behind him.
3) As usual, the problem here is we see only the "overreaction" the taker of the video wants us to see. I caught a brief interview of the girl at issue. She said "He told me to walk so I walked. and then, I don't know, I guess maybe he thought people were saying disrespectful things to him."
Uh, huh. Maybe. Come on, you had a group of trespassing teenagers, some of whom were fighting. Cop tried to get them to leave, you know they were doing a bit more than saying "disrespectful things."
And word has it that people in the neighborhood, who know these kids and the situation, are applauding the officer and think he did nothing wrong.
The problem with these arm chair youtube critics is that they are predisposed to think that the officer was being overly aggressive, but they base it on very little information, and information that was selected, to try to promote that perception.
Sure, its easy after the fact to say that the officer should have just politely asked them to be on their way. You think maybe that already happened? And that perhaps the kids didn't take kindly to the request? You have no idea what led up to what you see on the video.
No. Instead, you referred to the black kids as "spawns of single mothers". It's quite obvious who you were referring to based on the context of the statement.
I wasn't aware that you actually had to mention the race in order for it to be racist. Learning new rules everyday. Didn't realize racism was so complicated.
I guess now I can refer to blacks as monkeys as long as I don't say "black" monkeys, or whites as hairbacks as long as I don't say "white" hairbacks.
I wasn't aware that their were so many rules to racism. Thanks for lending your expertise on the subject.

So what you're saying is that black people can't make racist statements? Wasn't aware of this.
