The April 2, 2015 video shows the Tulsa County deputy chase and tackle the suspect. (Harris was suspected of trying to sell an illegal gun to an undercover officer.) Bates instructs Harris to comply and says, "I need you to roll on your stomach." A woman's voice is also heard to say, "Stop fighting." During the struggle, a gun shot is audible. The surprised deputy says, "Oh, I shot him. I'm sorry."
73-year-old reserve deputy, Robert Bates, has told authorities that he meant to use his stun gun. It appears to be a mistake. Unfortunately, it is an inexcusable mistake that cost a man his life.

That is going to result in a lawsuit!
What is missing in this post is the reason this unqualified man was given the position of an peace officer...because he donated much money. bought squad cars for the department amongst other things. Being a cop is hard work, and logic plays such an important role...and not all are qualified for the job.
In this case, he should be charged with murder...and the department should be sued.
like saying, i want to be a cop...here is $200K. And forget about the psychological tests...I'm good, cuz I'm rich
