Citizen Tay Calls for TPD Body Cams

"Trust, but verify."  ~~~Ronald Reagan.

In the aftermath of so many police shooting tragedies, can it be any more obvious the time for body cams on all police officers who come in contact with the public has arrived?

POTUS44 is asking Congress for $263 million for police body cams.

Call, email, or write Representative Jim Bridenstine.

I am calling for the Tulsa City Council Resolution Requiring Body Cameras on All Tulsa Police Officers Who Come in Contact with the Public.

UPDATE:  Obviously, the Eric Garner police chokehold murder case proved body cams is just ONE small piece of a more far-reaching effort to restore trust in TPD.  Maybe Tulsa City Council should keep quiet about Shannon Kepler's pension too?

How to do Police Accountability, Without Really Trying

In almost every city across the US, tax dollars are used to cover the damages and settlements from lawsuits filed against their police departments due to officer misconduct. Taxpayers in essence pay out massive amounts in damages for officers not doing their job properly. Additionally, the cost is compounded because taxpayers are forced to continue paying the salaries of these criminal cops.

City officials don’t have the guts to hold officers accountable for their actions. So a new approach is necessary to hold rogue officers responsible for their conduct.

Just like doctors have to carry malpractice insurance, police officers should be required to carry professional liability insurance as a condition of employment.

How this can be achieved is through an amendment to the city charter itself.

What is City Council Covering Up?

So, at the 20 November Council meeting, I raised the issue of the G.T. Bynum conflict of interest scam, on Agenda Item 8A.  City Attorney O'Melia tried to shut me up.  Good grief, if there's really no conflict of interest, why didn't he just simply let me make a total fool out of myself?

Bynum called me out, claiming I'm trying to trash his reputation.  He claims the Ethics Commission has looked into this issue.  So, why is he the only one pitching the claim?  From America's favorite Republican, trust, but verify.

Good grief, if there's nothing wrong about an elected City official pinch hitting for the other team for six figures, why even bother to get totally bent out of shape?

For now, I leave this issue to other more intelligent genius rocket scientists to follow up.  I doubt I will be the last to bring this up.  What is City Council covering up?

Did POTUS44 Just Gifted InhofePOTUS2016?

POTUS44 just picked his own successor, Jim Inhofe?  Nooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.  Can't possibly be true.

How To Do Water in the River, Without Extorting Taxpayers

If all the Tulsa voters who plan to vote for the upcoming $500 million River Tax would simply donate $500, every year, for the next five years, they would have water in the River.

Donors could claim a tax deduction, like George Kaiser.  Voluntary donation, instead of taxpayer extortion.

If water in the River is such a great idea, why extort taxpayers?
