Tulsa deputy on his way to the Bahamas

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/21/oklahoma-deputy-bates-pleads-not-guilty/26119863/

The judge approved his trip to the Bahamas. I wonder if a black person shot a white person (even by accident) if he would be released to take a vacation.

And what kind of sociopath is this guy? If I had killed someone, even by accident, and knew I was facing a trial and possible prison time, I would not be in the mood to go sip drinks on a beach! I would be scared of what's going to happen to my and spending all my time researching case history.

White privilege + narcissism = this guy
