OK then lets "GET IT RIGHT" officer McDaniel was one of 2 officers that shot an killed 17 year old Andrew Ridgeway and 18 year old Dusty Cagle in 1999 on 181st Street in Liberty Mounds. The boys had stolen a truck at Glenpool QT then fled towards home, tell me why he was even involved in something that happend outside of Jenks, and why did he have to unload and reload his gun SEVERAL times on 2 teen boys? Can you say OVER KILL!

And what does this have to do with McDaniel? I have seen the name Pike a lot... not McDaniel. Also.. Were you present at the time of this shooting? I don't think so...

McDaniel was involved in the shooting of a motorist in May 2003, in which he and former Tulsa Officer Timothy Pike fatally shot 21 year-old Lucas Andrews at point-blank range. In 2010 Tulsa paid $150,000 to settle a brutality claim against officer Pike from an incident in 2008 where Pike and two other officers beat an unarmed juvenile. Pike moved to West Palm Beach Florida where he was arrested in Jupiter Fl. for felony mischief, destroying property while drunk. McDaniel elected to stay in Oklahoma.
