-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Oklahoma, the Tulsa World newspaper reports supervisors at the Tulsa
County Sheriff's Office were ordered to falsify the training records of
a reserve deputy charged with manslaughter for the fatal shooting of
unarmed African American Eric Harris. Robert Bates is a wealthy
insurance executive who donated heavily to the Tulsa police department.
At least three of Bates' supervisors were reportedly transferred after
refusing to falsify his training and certification records.
