Oklahoma Troopers Shoot, Kill Pastor In Roadside Flood Rescue

[tigerred59]

A pastor of a Tulsa church was fatally shot by an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer in a flood rescue gone horribly wrong.

Rising waters stranded Nehemiah Fischer, 35, and his brother, Brandon, 40, in their truck Friday night in Okmulgee County, 20 miles south of Tulsa. Police said when troopers showed up to help them, the men got upset and attacked the officers.

"[The officers] were trying to get them to come out of the water. They were worried about them getting swept away," Capt. Paul Timmons of the OHP told The Associated Press. "[The men], for whatever reason, were just really upset about having to leave the vehicle there."

Another example of cops who can not handle stress or people period....and its a white guy shot, which proves, these monsters are shoot first cowards!!

The brother, according to the police, was drunk. What about the one that was shot? Also according to police, the one that was shot had a gun, though they didn't say whether or not it had been fired. This is a very strange case. I think the police should release the video of the incident.

Clicking on the dash cam video didn't work for you?

Was very long, maybe you blinked...

All I saw were capture images. I'll take another look.

They only release 26 seconds of video? Hmm. It did show one of them attacking one of the police officers, which isn't good, that's for sure. Not sure what that was all about.

Like I said, wasn't very long.

But that guy came out of the water and jumped the cops like he was a zombie starving for brains.

Police dash cams only function when the emergency lights are turned on....
