As it shoots yet another black unarmed man.

And that is the problem, police lie and sadly regularly get away with their lies. It is time for body cams so that the good officers do not have to suffer with the bad officers who shoot people dead and lie about it.

A Tulsa police officer shot and killed an African American man who ignored repeated requests to put up his hands before reaching into an SUV that was stalled in the middle of a street, the police department said.
“He refused to follow commands given by the officers,” MacKenzie said. “They continued to talk to him; he continued not to listen and follow any commands. As they got closer to the vehicle, he reached inside the vehicle and at that time there was a Taser deployment and a short time later there was one shot fired.”
