In Tulsa the lawyer for the officer who did the shooting is saying that before the video the victim had his hands in his pockets and was not following commands.  Also she thought he was high on PCB.  Why?  Don't know yet.

Even with that IN the video he seems to be doing as he is told...before he is shot.

In Charlotte the officers are saying the victim did not drop his gun when ordered to.  My question is:  Why did they order him to?  2nd amendment and all that.

Pretty certain that even if you are a CCP holder, you must abide by Police commands when instructed.  Police authority supersedes any citizen in a moment of confrontation. (or so I understand from my Grandfather, a retired OSP Post Commander)
