It's not as if these parents used their status as police officers to commit this crime.

Be interesting to see if his service weapon was used. Would using the firearm paid for by the citizen's of Tulsa qualify as using their status as officers to commit this crime?.

BTW, I have a brother who is an officer with a department in another state. I grew up with one of the finest officers(imho) ever to serve on on the TPD force as a neighbor.

doing a tough job for not enough pay, and damned little appreciation.
