Widow sues Oklahoma law enforcement over controversial tape.

The widow of Bobby Barrick, a Choctaw Nation citizen, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against officials in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, alleging that her husband died last year from excessive force in the custody of sheriff’s deputies. The complaint against county officials and the sheriff's office alleges the unlawful use of excessive force, a failure to intervene in the use of excessive force, and widespread knowledge of McCurtain County sheriff's officers' repeatedly using excessive force. The widow is seeking damages upward of $6 million. McCurtain County has faced intense scrutiny this week after county leaders were secretly recorded complaining they could no longer lynch Black people and discussing killing local journalists.
