Sergeant Craig Johnson succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained the previous morning when he was shot multiple times during a traffic stop near the intersection of East 21st Street and South 89th East Avenue.

An officer on Sergeant Johnson's squad had conducted the traffic stop at 3:30 am and determined the vehicle had to be impounded. The driver refused to exit the vehicle despite the use of de-escalation techniques and non-lethal force, including pepper spray and a taser. As Sergeant Craig and the other officer continued their attempts to remove the driver, the man reached under the driver's seat and retrieved a handgun. He opened fire on both officers, striking each multiple times in the head and torso.

The man then fled the scene with the assistance of a friend whom he had called for help during the traffic stop.

The subject was arrested later in the day and subsequently charged with first-degree murder. The friend who aided his escape was charged with being an accessory to a felony.

The other officer who was shot remains in critical condition.

Sergeant Johnson had served with the Tulsa Police Department for 15 years.

I am livid the fuckstain was taken alive, because the judicial system is not on the peoples side. (/que the multiple states catch and release of rioters, arsonist released and arrested again same day in oregon, 20 something year old that burned one of the minnesota police stations gets 45 days, etc)

Until a jury of your peers finds you guilty in a court of law you are presumed to be innocent. This isn?t the wild, Wild West you know.

And if you included the whole quote you would have had why I'm not so sure anymore if that isn't preferable because the system is grossly letting down the public anymore.

When asked by a reporter why his deputies shot a cop killer 68 times, Sheriff Grady Judd (to whom my dad was a youth pastor) replied, “That’s all the bullets we had.”

Translation: right answer.

Yeah...OK. But I saw enough evidence in that video that I could pull the switch on this guy and go to my Maker with a clear conscience.
