NBC News has obtained it though, so I assume it will eventually be released. Nothing new is coming up, looks like it has been shunted off into the old news file. …”In his resignation letter, Mr Graham referred to a 28 May incident where he was pulled over by two officers from the neighbouring town of Nichols Hills for allegedly speeding. Bodycam footage of the encounter showed a tense exchange between Mr Graham and the police officers, in which he told the officers to “get out,” and said they couldn’t pull over cars in his town. Mr Graham claimed he had “stood up against Nichols Hills Police targeting The Village residents.” Nichols Hills Police chief Steven Cox told The Oklahoman he had not heard from Mr Graham about the traffic stop. Mr Cox and The Villages police captain Matt Butcher both said they were unaware of any threats towards Mr Graham. A Democrat in a deeply red state, Mr Graham had pledged to try to ban conversion therapy within city limits and improve transportation and public parks.“ https://money.yahoo.com/first-openly-gay-mayor-oklahoma-191421711.html Edited July 27, 2022 by Calm

This is misreporting. He never mentions being personally stopped by police in his resignation letter, and all other reporting has him hindering an ongoing traffic stop involving another person. From NBC News: Quote Graham’s resignation comes two months after he had a tense exchange with two police officers from the neighboring town of Nichols Hills. Bodycam footage of the May 28 incident provided to NBC News by the Nichols Hills Police Department shows the officers pulling over a vehicle — which had allegedly been speeding in Nichols Hills — within the city limits of The Village. The footage then shows Graham pulling alongside the police cruiser and telling the officers to “get out,” saying they can’t pull over cars in his town. Cox, however, told NBC News that his officers were within their rights to pull over the vehicle, because Nichols Hills has mutual aid agreements with the fire and police departments in The Village and Oklahoma City. 2

I would like to see documentation they received information from both Cox and Butcher (not a great name for a police person these days 😛 ) and did not make assumptions from poor reading of others’ reports as they did with who was stopped, because the only reason I was interested in this article was that both has said there were no incident reports. Quote Nichols Hills Police Chief Steven Cox said he has not heard from Graham regarding the incident… Cox said he's not aware of any Nichols Hills employees or residents threatening or harassing Graham. If the yahoo article was paraphrasing this from The Oklahoman, ‘no threats at all’ is not an accurate paraphrase, though it’s an understandable assumption. I know Butcher shared the info on FB, but saw nothing from Cox there so wondering about their source. Cox could be aware that Graham was threatened by a nonNH resident/employee. Graham just said it was triggered by the incident. It could be Villagers who are ticked at the way Graham handled it (or bluntly appeared to be not doing anything about it besides complain).

Tonight, Councilman Bubba Symes apologized to NHPD saying, “They were not targeting anyone in The Village.” More details tonight.

I really could have been using that time to play video games more often. You could be like this girl. But she's not playing video games.
