Man Who Fought to Get 'IM GAY' on Oklahoma License Plate Found Dead

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Norman Police confirmed they are investigating the death of Keith Kimmel who made national news earlier this year after suing the Oklahoma Tax Commission to approve his request to have "IM GAY" put on his license plate.

Kimmel was found dead Wednesday morning.

The tax commission turned down Kimmel's specialized plate request last year on grounds it could be offensive to the general public.

On Monday, Kimmel filed a complaint against Tulsa Police for how he says officers treated him at an incident over the weekend.

Kimmel writes that the officers "beat him" while attempting to make an arrest at a club in Tulsa last Friday. Kimmel ended up having to stay the night in the hospital.

5. the tale tell sign was
2 bullets to the back of the head!

Actually, I think they beat him to death. What a tragedy for that young man and his family and friends. May the cops go to prison for their deed.

2. If an autopsy reveals the beating was the cause of his death
some cops are going to jail.
