60 Minutes tonight. They have a story about the Tulsa female

cop who shot and killed a guy that she was chasing. I htink that she is going to claim to be made a scapegoat.

The problem with her story is that she had said at the time that the guy was reaching into the car. The problem with that - the door is closed and the windows are closed. He could not have been reaching into the car.

and it was pointed out by a legal representative of the family pointed out that the car windows were not opened. It came out in an interview by the car within a day of the shooting. The Tulsa PD never refuted that statement.

This incident happened not all that long after a elderly white Tulsa County reserve deputy shot and killed a black man that he thought he was going to tazer. Oops! He got jail time.

Don't remember where (the helicopter maybe?) and you can see the glare that proves that the window was up

She went leaping to the conclusion that he was up to something before exchanging one word with him. All her actions seemed to be overreactions.
