So,,,
Does anyone know what actually happened to cause this drama?

So far it just seems like a pecker measuring contest.

My view has a different perspective. I have never taken land or owned a slave. I owe no one anything. The battle was fought and it’s over. Long ago might I add. We should all fall under the same laws and regulations. No more segregated treatment for anyone. Period.

Just my opinion and it is worthless.

I don’t think your opinion is worthless and won’t argue your point, but are you saying your ok with the govt taking land from the Indians in the past and taking whatever they want out of your paycheck every week?

Tribal police attempt to arrest Okmulgee Co. jailer at work, legal stalemate ensues

The arrest warrant stems from an altercation in which a jailer is alleged to have assaulted a tribal police officer during a physical fight on Monday.

Anybody in that area know anymore about what is going on. I don't monitor that county SO on the scanner so I didn't hear it going on but apparently there was a lot of discussion over the air with other agencies about what was going on at the time. I heard an interview this morning on KRMG with the Fox23 reporter covering the story disputing some of the facts that the Sheriff put out in his press release about the situation. Really anxious to hear how this all plays out.

We live in okmulgee and all we hear is what's on the news,but from personal experience I can say that those tribal police are some pushy overbearing lill turds

So what's your opinion of the Okmulgee SO and the sheriff as far as professionalism and transparency goes? I have heard some anecdotal stories that make them sound questionable.

No, but that didn’t happen in our lifetime. Not my fault and I shouldn’t pay for it. This special treatment is garbage.

I’d like to know what the jailer did or said that started this conflict.

******** collided, feelings were hurt, and authority wasn’t respected.

Not sure that I understand your comment, but I do see signs frequently notifying drivers that they are in "X - tribes" land. Maybe the term "reservation" needs to be better defined?

As an example.... for purposes of the FCC (and most other goverment agencies), tribal lands are defined as almost all of Oklahoma.

these various tribes should have their authority stripped by Congress.

there is only one nation

IIRC from my civics class, the Senate has to negotiate and ratify all treaties. I don't remember if the Pres. has the right to veto them or not. If so I assume his veto could be overridden by a 2/3 vote. It would be up to Mullins or Langford to start this ball rolling. I heard on the radio this morning that Stitt has formed a commission to work with Indian Nation and county LEOs to iron out jurisdictional issues and cross deputzation between departments. We'll have to wait and see if how this works out. It's a step in the right direction.
