Owasso Police Video

The Tulsa World obtained Owasso police videos Monday that captured Lt. Mike Denton three times applying an elbow to the face of Bryan Scott Spradlin, a Collinsville man who was arrested on a public intoxication complaint on June 30, 2011. The city fired Denton in November for using what it said was excessive force. Now he's being rehired.

We don't need to know the whole story...We know this Officer, Lt...whatever didn't control himself and we know the other Officers, rather than stop him, verbally boosted his ego for his actions. Looks to me like a payout is in the future for this department.

Why do we let these guys get our goats? A split second of satisfaction from elbowing the moron in the face is not worth a career. And you would think the LT would know he was on a lapel camera. They also didn't mention the LT stepping on the suspect's head in the first view outside, which looked a little unnecessary. But then again, this is just a few seconds and we don't know the whole story. So just be smart and act as though you are ALWAYS on camera and you'll be just fine.
