One of my old classmates posted the video about this and I had to google the shit. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned.

Two former Oklahoma police officers have been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the 2021 fatal shooting of a Black man in Comanche County, according to a statement from District Attorney Kyle Cabelka.

Quadry Sanders was killed at a home on December 5, 2021, when Lawton Police Department officers responded to a call about a man in violation of a protective order and in possession of a firearm, according to the statement.

Once officers arrived at the home, "the suspect was identified as Quadry Sanders. Officers learned that Mr. Sanders was inside the home (...) and was refusing to let one of the residents leave," the statement read. "Officers set up a perimeter around the house. A sergeant with the Lawton Police Department (LPD) then began giving Mr. Sanders orders using a PA system in a patrol vehicle. Shortly after commands were given, a female resident of the home exited."

Sanders was later seen going out the back door of the home, and an officer gave "commands to show his hands, which he immediately complied with," according to the DA.

"But then Mr. Sanders ran back into the home. Seconds later, Quadry Sanders walked out of the front door of the home. Mr. Sanders was met underneath a carport by Officers Robert Hinkle and Nathan Ronan," the statement read.

Bodycam video released on May 6 shows one of the officers telling Sanders "hands, hands" and "down, down, down, down."

Sanders' hands were "clearly seen and the only item visible in his hands is a ball cap, which he transfers from his right hand to his left hand," according to the statement.
Sanders can then be seen turning back towards what the DA described as the home's front door.

"Mr. Sanders can be seen raising both of his hands in the air, above his head. At that time, Officer Hinkle shoots his firearm four times at Mr. Sanders. Mr. Sanders falls to the ground and appears to have been shot, at which time Officer Hinkle once again orders 'hands, hands, hands,' and to 'quit reaching,'" the statement read.

"Sanders sits up from his back with his hands above his head at which time Officer Hinkle fires his firearm seven additional times. Simultaneously with these shots, Officer Ronan also fires his weapon at Mr. Sanders four times," the statement read.

Sanders was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital, and no weapon was located on Sanders' body or in the area where he was shot, according to the DA.
