Several civil and human rights organizations are asking state and federal investigators to review the Oklahoma County District Attorney's decision to drop charges against seven police officers in three separate fatal shootings.
Manslaughter charges against seven Oklahoma police officers involved in three fatal shootings have been dropped, officials announced on Friday. In one of the cases, five officers had been charged in the deadly shooting of a 15-year-old robbery suspect. Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna said her office has decided to dismiss the charges after a team of attorneys spent "hundreds of hours" reviewing the cases.
