A former Tulsa police officer was recently charged with first degree manslaughter after fatally shooting his daughter’s boyfriend.

There is widespread anger at the police for this latest police killing, and calls for an end to police using weapons to deal with mentally ill persons, but Philadelphia is not ablaze or in chaos.

One survived the shooting and remains in serious condition, while another died from his wounds.

Hicks and his robbery crew stole thousands of dollars in cash, multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine, hundreds of pounds of marijuana, and several firearms.

If convicted, the sheriff could face up to 10 years in prison.

The district attorney’s office is continuing to review the shooting and determine whether the officer was legally justified in firing his weapon at Cameron.

The LAPD is investigating the incident due to the fact that the protester was not posing an immediate threat to anyone when the officer shot him.

"No matter the circumstances, what happened on Friday night is a tragedy, and I expect this investigation to be handled swiftly and transparently for the sake of everyone involved."

“Each member of this department shall consider it his or her duty to be of service to the general public and to render that service in a kind, considerate, and patient manner.”

“As the family of George Robinson, we are pleased the Jackson Police Department officers involved in his death have finally been charged with murder."
