BY JUDD LEGUM POSTED ON JANUARY 17, 2015 AT 2:28 PM
In Oklahoma, a white survivalist shot a police chief three times in the chest and once in the arm. The shooting did not result in an arrest or charges and the man, identified by local media as 29-year-old Dallas Horton, has been released.
In a press release, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said, Facts surrounding the case lead agents to believe the man was unaware it was officers who made entry. But Louis Ross, the Sentinel, Oklahoma police chief who was shot, said that he entered the home after Washita County 911 received two calls from a man who identified himself as Dallas Horton, and claimed to have a bomb inside the head start school.
Ross cast doubt on the credibility of Hortons claim that he didnt know officers were present, noting that there was screaming from five officers of the law announcing our presence, requesting to see hands. Ross only survived the shooting because he was wearing a bulletproof vest. He has massive bruises and welts on his body and the shot that hit his arm went clean through.

In fairness, if a POC "survivalist" shot at white officers, he probably wouldn't be arrested either…

Is your problem that you like to ask absurd questions instead of answer real ones?

Now you are claiming that I am trying to justify the murders of Brown and Garner?

Put a turban and a beard on him and you would have national panic led by the media. Or another
