OKLAHOMA CITY Daniel Holtzclaw made a mistake, an Oklahoma County prosecutor argued on Wednesday: He messed up.
Holtzclaws mistake was pulling over the wrong person: A woman who, when he allegedly assaulted her, wouldnt hesitate to call the police.
It happened around 2 a.m. on June 18, when Holtzclaw, a 27-year-old police officer, was ending his shift on the northeast side of Oklahoma City. He switched off his patrol car computer. Then, without calling for assistance or otherwise notifying his station, police said, Holtzclaw made a traffic stop.
The woman identified in court documents as J.L. and in local media reports as a 57-year-old grandmother said she was driving home after playing dominos with a friend, according to detective Kim Davis, who recounted J.L.s story at length during a hearing at the Oklahoma County Courthouse.
When Officer Holtzclaw approached J.L.s car, she couldnt roll down her broken drivers side window, Davis said. So Holtzclaw directed her to the rear passenger side seat of his patrol car. He asked if she had been drinking he had noticed a Styrofoam cup in her front seat. She said no, according to Davis, and that the drink was Kool-Aid. He continued questioning her, and she suggested he go taste it. He walked over to her car, but J.L. couldnt see what he was doing. When he came back, Holtzclaw asked if J.L. had anything else on her.

This might be the sickest fuck walking civilized society today...
And I see he bonded out?!?! http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/09/okc_cop_daniel_holtzclaw_relea.html
Well written story that hasn't gotten any attention. They need to throw the key away, although it is good to see a PD arrest one of their own without any public pressure. I'm sure they are far from perfect, but they are doing the right thing in this case. Definitely a sicko and I wonder how many others he's gotten away with.
