On Monday, Sept. 14, police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, released body camera and dashcam footage of the June shooting that left one officer dead and another wounded. The release of the footage led some on social media to point out what they deemed to be the hypocrisies in the responses to those shootings and those of the shootings of unarmed Black men and of two Los Angeles deputies.

David Ware, a 33-year-old white man, was captured and taken alive into police custody after shooting Sgt. Craig Johnson and Officer Aurash Zarkeshan after a traffic stop that occurred during the overnight hours of June 29 in East Tulsa. After an argument and struggle that took place over several minutes, Ware grabbed a gun from under his seat and fired multiple shots at the officers.
