Don't Push a Cop

Was about to drop this in the last thread, when I saw there was a new one, so, here y'go. No links. Sorry.

Here in Oklahoma, we had a state trooper shoot a guy to death. Dead guy was Nehemiah Blessed [SomethingLastName], an "associate pastor." He and his brother were trying to get their truck unstuck in the floods. Two troopers came along and told them to get the heck out of there.

The story we first got was from dead guy's brother. He said Nehemiah came out of the ditch first, and when brother got out, Nehemiah was already shot dead. Said, with all the rushing water and wind, they didn't even know they were cops.

The family all exclaimed how this associate pastor was a great guy, sided with cops, would never cause trouble. His mother actually called the 6'-something broad-shouldered Nehemiah "a gentle giant." (Clue!)

Nehemiah was (legally) open-carrying a sidearm he'd just received as a birthday present, never been fired. There was some speculation that might have played into the cops' shooting him.

Now we have the video. Both brothers walk out of the water together, marching up to the officers. The officers can clearly be seen, and heard identifying themselves. The officers are already telling the pair to settle down, when one of them (presumably the about-to-die guy) attacks a cop. Whoops!

A gentle Brobdignatian with Lilliputian common sense.
