[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2915170, member: 4333"] Your attempt to establish an equivalence is noted as valiant yet it remains insufficient. First off, your cousin had obvious injuries that the cops could see and your claim they thought he was on PCP is unsupported. The injuries would lead them to open other possibilities and take other actions that you note to ensure his safety. In the Tulsa case, there were no injuries obvious and the officer had prior training on recognition of individuals under the influence of powerful chemical enhancement and now there is independent evidence to that fact. Additionally, the officers at your cousin's incident were able to operate and observe mostly from their vehicles. In Tulsa, the officer had already left her vehicle to investigate the abandoned vehicle and encountered Crutcher returning in his drugged stupor that was described by witnesses who saw him abandon the vehicle, yelling "it's gonna blow!" A single officer, no matter sex or size, will be at a decided disadvantage if the PCP-enhanced individual decides to get physical with the officer. Her training led her to conclude she was in imminent physical danger and had her firearm at the ready while attempting to control the individual while requested back-up was en-route. All of this is in line with TPD policy and procedure. [/QUOTE]
