I spent months creating a database of Oklahoma’s deadly police pursuits to learn who was being killed, which agencies were pursuing and why. Here are 5 takeaways from my four-part series: #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

The surviving boy's father was devastated to lose his sister — his best friend — and niece, who wanted to be a doctor. “It just seemed like (troopers) were on an adrenaline rush; they just wanted the perp, so they didn’t care what happened." tulsaworld.com/news/local/art…

A few years ago, I wrote about how the state trooper, worried about being out-accelerated by the possibly stolen truck, said he wanted to see what his SUV was capable of in a pursuit while thinking the fleeing driver "might make a mistake." tulsaworld.com/news/local/art…

The father of a young child, who survived an Oklahoma Highway Patrol high-speed car chase for a "possible stolen vehicle" that ended up killing the boy's aunt and cousin, finalized a $100,000 lawsuit settlement on Wednesday. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

If you've ever tried to pry public records from the clutches of @TulsaPolice, you probably already know that they seem to HATE releasing records and will grasp at any excuse not to. This must-read story explains a lot, in that regard. readfrontier.org/stories/they-w…

Here's the profile I wrote of Logan and her family 13 months ago. The Oklahoma agency originally in pursuit of Anthony Giancola called it off within minutes because of the grave danger to the public, while two different agencies later picked it back up. tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

“I play the event over and over in my head and would give anything to have the ability to switch places with her,” Kim Guthrie-Harrel said. “She had such a bright future ahead of her and would have been such a great teacher.” #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

A year ago I wrote about Logan — vibrant and witty — and how her family is living in the fallout. Vinita police called off chasing within minutes because of the grave danger to the public, while Rogers County deputies and a state trooper picked it back up tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

Anthony Giancola of Rogersville, Mo., was 17 when charged as an adult in the death of 23-year-old Logan Dawn Harrel. He agreed to a sentence of 30 years in state prison. Harrel was an Army veteran and freshman at Rogers State University in Claremore tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

The wife of a motorcyclist hit and killed by a former Skiatook police officer in a chase through Tulsa for a speeding violation will appeal a federal judge's decision to grant qualified immunity to the officer and dismiss her civil rights claims. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

A Mannford police officer admitted only briefly reviewing a woman's paperwork before trying to arrest her and engaging in chase. An Oklahoma trooper forced her car off road, killing her and a passenger. What police said about her isn't backed by evidence #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tulsaworld.com/news/nation-wo…

Apparent deference or protection for law enforcement can pop up in small but notable ways. Example: A state's criminal case witness list I just read largely IDs law enforcement by first *initial* and last name. Non-LEOs generally are ID'd by full first and last names. Why?

"We don't even know what to do because there's not enough information to know exactly how to respond or prepare.”

Both of #Oklahoma's largest utility predict they will face massive deficits on how much power they're capable of generating vs. demand from data centers & other lg load customers, and are seeking to socialize the cost to build/buy more generations resources to meet that demand

Wow. So likely I won't be able to vote in the 2026-2027 primaries unless I change my independent status. My tax dollars help fund these elections.

Colleague and friend @AndreaEger called me "pretty well-adjusted" today in the newsroom. I'm counting this as a big win and compliment. H/t to public schools and my parents.
