Charges dropped against 7 Oklahoma police officers in fatal 2020 shootings

The new prosecutor in Oklahoma's largest county, District Attorney Vicki Behenna, has dropped criminal charges against seven police officers involved in three separate fatal shootings from 2020. Behenna stated that under Oklahoma law, the shootings were justified after hiring a use-of-force expert and conducting extensive reviews. The most high-profile case involved five officers charged with first-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy. The charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled. The decision has sparked controversy and calls for changes in the law, while the police department has implemented training and equipment changes since the incidents.

French Police Granted Shoot-at-Drivers Power, But Without Training

The number of fatal police shootings of motorists in France has increased sixfold since a law was passed in 2017 allowing officers to shoot at fleeing drivers. Last year, a record 13 people were shot dead in their vehicles. The law has come under scrutiny after a police officer recently killed a teenage driver during a traffic stop, sparking protests and riots. Union leaders, including those who supported the law, say that officers received inadequate training on what it permitted. Experts and lawyers argue that the law and subsequent shootings are unintended consequences of the French government's response to terrorism and increased threats against police. Critics have called for a repeal or revision of the law.
