Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te kaitiaki o te kaitiaki o Oklahoma i whakapaehia mo te patu kino i te tangata e kii ana ia i hiahia ia ki te whakaiti i a ia me te Taser i whakaae kaore ia i te hara i te Turei ki te whakapae mo te patu tangata tuarua. I te whakawakanga, ka whakaaetia e te kaiwhakawa kia haere a Robert Bates ki nga Bahamas mo te hararei a te whanau. Na taua whakatau i puta ai te urupare mai i te whānau o Eric Harris, te tangata i patua e Bates. "Kāore mātou i miharo i te mea kāore a Mr. Bates i whakaae ki te hara. Heoi anō, e miharo ana mātou i whiriwhiri a Mr. Bates ki te haere ki te hararei ki ngā Moutere o Bahamas i tēnei wā pōhara. Ahakoa i whakaarotia, i kore rānei, ko te hararei a Mr. Bates ki te Bahamas i tēnei wā e tuku ana i tētahi karere o te kore aro ki te pupuhi me te oranga o Eric. I te wā e tangi tonu ana mātou i te matenga o tētahi tangata i arohaina e ia, i patua e ia i te huarahi, kei te whakangahau a Mr. Bates, kei te pārekareka ki tōna taonga me tōna mana". Kua whakaritea te whakarongo tuatahi a Bates mō te 10 a.m. Hōngongoi 2. "Ka hoatu e tēnei ki a mātou he whai wāhitanga ki te mahi ki ngā meka i roto i te kōti, kaua ki te pāpāho, ā, e tino tūmanako ana mātou ki tērā", ko tā Clark Brewster, tētahi o ana roia, i muri i te whakarongo. I te 2 o Aperira, i te wā e mahi ana a Bates, 73, hei kaiawhina mō te Tari o te Kaitiaki o te Kaunihera o Tulsa, i te wā i uru ai ia ki te hopu i a Eric Harris i tētahi mahi hopu patu. E kii ana a Bates i hiahia ia ki te patu i a Harris me te Taser i muri i te rerenga o Harris mai i nga pirihimana, engari i te pohehe ka pupuhi ia ki a Harris me te pu. I kii a Bates he aitua te pupuhi. Kua tono mihi atu ia ki te whānau o Harris, pērā ki a Sheriff Stanley Glanz. E kī ana te rōia mō te whānau o te tangata i patua, kāore a Bates i āhei ki te mahi i te ope, engari i whiwhi ia i te maimoatanga whakahirahira nā te mea i homai e ia he takoha ki te tari, ā, he hoa a te kaitiaki. I pūrongotia e te niupepa o Tulsa World ētahi kaitirotiro i te Tari o te Kaitiaki o te Kaunihera o Tulsa i kiihia kia whakapakeke i ngā pūkete a Bates, ā, i whakawhiwhia ki tētahi atu mahi i te wā i kore ai rātau e whakaae. Kua whakakahoretia e te Tari o te Kaitiaki o te Kaunihera o Tulsa ēnei whakapae. I te mutunga wiki, i tukuna e tētahi o ngā roia a Bates te nuinga o ōna...
I kii a Robert Bates i whakaaro ia ki te whakaiti i tetahi whakapae me te Taser engari i patu noa ia ia. Kua whakaritea te whakarongo tuatahi mō te 2 o Hōngongoi. I kii te kaiwhakawa ka taea e Bates te haere ki te Bahamas mo te hararei a te whanau.
