Tulsa Police released new body cam video of a chase and arrest of a suspect from Sept. 13. Police said Micah Fitzpatrick took off running when he saw officers last month near 11th and Garnett. One officer tased him after they said he ignored their commands. They also found a gun in his pocket. Officer: “Get on the ground! Give me your hands, hands!” “They believe they may be dealing with an individual who has a gun, and sure enough when they do catch up to him he was carrying a very large pistol,” said Sergeant Shane Tuell, Tulsa Police Department. Tulsa Gang Unit Officers were in an area near Interstate 44 and Garnett when they tried to make contact with Micah Fitzpatrick. They say they wanted to have a conversation with him because he was wearing gang colors. “When he sees the officers he immediately turns and starts running,” Tuell said. Officers say he kept his hand on his right pocket the entire time. Officer: “You got a gun? What are you running for?” When they caught up to him, they pulled a large pistol out of his pocket. “That’s why you always hear officers say ‘show me your hands, show me your hands,'” said Sergeant Shane Tuell, TPD. “Because its not the person that’s going to hurt the officer. It’s what’s in those hands that could hurt the officer.”
Tuell says it’s common for officers to talk with people while they are patrolling because this could help them get information on a current investigation. “We don’t need to have a criminal offense occur to just go up and talk to a citizen, but if they turn around and run then we are allowed to pursue them.” He says they try to have a higher police presence in areas where there is known gang activity. “If we can have that contact and let them know a – we’re here and b – there’s a better way to carry yourself and do things, we might be able to sway them from entering into a life of crime or gang activity.” Sgt. Tuell says it’s good to let officers know that you have a weapon on you if you have your concealed carry and they approach you just so the officers are aware. Fitzpatrick was booked into the Tulsa County Jail for gang-related offenses, aggravated assault and battery, resisting arrest, carrying drugs and alcohol into jail and possession of drugs with intent to distribute.

Guy gets Tased by the Cops: The Movie
He's so proud he got em, great guy tho
Didn't know cops were allowed to call people pieces of trash while handcuffing them.
You should change that title to:
Meme cop tases gang trackstar in the buttocks
Cop: We're going to the park!
Every K9 officer in the county: Rwoouff!? ðŸ¶
I just noticed they never read him his rights.
Well done officers! Holy shit that gun 😳 luckily (for the suspect) he landed on the softer grass and not on the harder walking path!
49:00
Office: "Okay you know what, shut your mouth! Just shut your mouth. I'm tired of arguing with ya! I'm glad that taser hurt." 🤣
These officers involved with this incident deserves a metal for amazing discipline and composer.
Great training, following protocols got this feller down and in cuffs. Then they asdisted him with concern about his safety and well being.
The officer that was taking him in, is some kind of wonderful. He sits in the back and puts the fella in front of the air conditioning. Our country should be taking lessons from this cop, and the many others from there force. I can honestly say He is as funny as he is serious.
when he tased the guy he kinda screamed witch made me laugh
Video: play
My mind: wtf one hour of feet chasing?
Super trackstar lol 😆😂
the piece of trash comment was so unnecessary
I never understood why cops get so personal. Like, you knew before getting the job that people run from cops, so why call him a piece of trash?
Don’t get me wrong. There was no legal wrong doing by the cops here or anything. And I’m not saying they are bad cops.
I just don’t get it. They get sooooo mad at the suspect like it’s a personal attack that they ran. Lol so much aggression.
Escapou de um balaço o policial Hem?
Cops attitude is nasty.
ladies and gentelmen we gotem!!!!!!! jhonn cena
"You need to get some CrossFit!"
And pull your pants up
That squall when he hits the ground is hilarious! And then other cop with the “piece of trash…†I’m laughing my ass off!
Dumbass can’t run for holding his pants up!
Wow! I was surprised the taser they had actually worked the way it was designed to. Apparently tasers dont do anything but piss people off or make them comply and cry like a baby..🤣
I think this cop is a aggravating asshole. Insensitive ass.
Lowkey kind racist from start where weed at like really bet if he was white with braids probably wouldn't never said that..
The worst thing they said was, "piece of trash". Cop would probably apologies if he knew he said that in the heat of the moment.
Trumper down ðŸ‘
At least this idiot wasn't stupid enough to pull his firearm out. Nice to see a good ending for all.
I looked for a follow up he got super lucky he only got a year in prison
Whaddya know, tasers do work!
Do u have gun. It's not mine. Cop takes gun out of his pocket. Dumb ass
should've listened to yo mama and pull up your pants and wear a belt. you could've ran faster, at least try.
You need to get some cross fit son 😂
He’s not a man – he’s a large whiny weak little boy.
If you wear your pants like a normal man, you probably be able to run faster.
"I'm a G-money Gangsta! Scope out my Glock"
One taser later;
"Ugh, I cant even lift my head"
His name is : Hurts Icantbreath
1:08 AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Your gang card has been officially cancelled for being a bitch. Maybe not though because all gangs are bitches.
Had that 1911 cocked and locked and one in the pipe. Good thing he didn’t pull it on the cop
this police officer cant run for shitt
“You need to get some CrossFit bro. That shit sucked, huh? Shoulda stopped man. I told you I wasn’t messin around.†Haaaaa!!! Good to see a cop that’s not a fat phukn disgrace for a change that can run a bad guy down n make fun of him when he catches him.
Can’t wait till the shoe on the other foot
fake rolex?
I can't breeve.
