Murder of Jared Lakey

(

)

... that the police officers who murdered Jared Lakey in Wilson, Oklahoma, on the Fourth of July in 2019 shocked him more than 50 times with tasers, although he was unarmed and not combative? ("used their tasers 53 times", "used their Tasers on an unarmed man more than 50 times", "According to court documents, Lakey never strikes, grabs, or makes any aggressive attempt toward either officer during those nine minutes.")
- ALT1: ... that Jared Lakey was shocked 53 times with tasers in an encounter with police in Wilson, Oklahoma, on the Fourth of July in 2019, resulting in his death, although he was unarmed and not combative? ("used their tasers 53 times", "used their Tasers on an unarmed man more than 50 times", "According to court documents, Lakey never strikes, grabs, or makes any aggressive attempt toward either officer during those nine minutes.")
- ALT2: ... that the police officers who murdered Jared Lakey in 2019 shocked him more than 50 times with tasers, although he was unarmed and not combative? [Same as ALT0, just removing "in Wilson, Oklahoma, on the Fourth of July"]

Comment: I don't know how to interpret the QPQ check tool report, but I think I'm under the threshold of five initial nominations (I think this is my third), and I have a half-barnstar from 09:53, 26 November 2015 (UTC) for helping another editor with a DYK (re Alcohol in Afghanistan).

@BarrelProof: I'll be reviewing this nomination shortly. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that you actually do have five DYK credits (see here) so a QPQ will be needed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:24, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: - QPQ has not been completed.
Overall: Article is new and long enough, Earwig looks good, and the hook is cited inline. Both hooks are quite close to the maximum of 200 bytes, so if you wanted to shorten them a bit I think you could leave out "in Wilson, Oklahoma on the Fourth of July in 2019"; just personally, I think ALT0 is a bit more digestible without that bit, though ultimately it's your call. QPQ will be needed as well. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:27, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the review. ALT2 added as suggested, except retaining the year. I'll work on that WP:QPQ. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:17, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
