I think like that Swedish guy, she pulled her gun thinking it was her tazer and shot him.
Thanks, so my keyword search didn’t pull up oklahoma...that will teach me
Pretty hard to defend the cops on this one.
I will say the same thing that I have said before.
LEO need much better training, procedures, and weapon options.
BTW police shoot whites and Hispanics too.
Most of the times, it is justified. But not always.
BFL
Yikes. That’s not good at all.
The female officer was afraid and she shot him. Her career is over and it should be. Horrible police work.
What the hell are you talking about? He had his hands up, unarmed, against the car with no resistance whatsoever! What else do you want him to do? How is he controlling anything?
Go ahead, spin this one, lemme see it.
Not seeing any reason for shooting in those videos...looks pretty hard to claim any of the 4 cops were in danger.
She murdered him in cold blood and should go to jail for the rest of her life - just like you or I would have to do.
He started next to her car. She obviously gave him verbal commands to stay put. He elected not to do so. She drew her some type of weapon, I could not tell, but the appropriate one was the Taser.
He just kept walking away from her, ignoring commands to stop. Before he even got to the truck, she should have tasered him and taken him into physical custody.
Instead she allowed him to control the situation.
Probably wouldn’t have been found by any reasonable search you would have run, thus no snarky comments, just the link for cross referencing. I’ve swapped a few barbs over there with some bootlickers. (Other threads, I go at it with the cop haters - I’ve known too many good cops and certainly too many bad cops to apply any universal rules.)
Here, it looks like “Let’s line up 4 across in front of the dash cams, and have the chopper put a tree and the car between us and the suspect, and then claim he was going for his gun during the 3 seconds when there isn’t any useful video”. Optics are rally bad on this one unless some more video crops up.
Absolute bullsh!t.
Sheer murdered him.
Video 2 - deceased reaches into open car window? what falls to the ground next to his right foot as he falls back? something dark colored?
Note: None of the articles at AP/NBC/HuffPo mention the fact thst the man refused orders to stop approaching his car, that he lowered his hands when he reached his car, and that the officers didn’t know whether he had a weapon within reach.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — An unarmed black man killed by a white Oklahoma officer who was responding to a stalled vehicle can be seen in police video walking away from officers and toward his SUV with his hands up before he approaches the driver’s side door, where he drops to the ground after being shocked with a stun gun then fatally shot.
In Tulsa police helicopter footage that was among several clips released Monday showing the shooting of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher and its aftermath, a man in the helicopter that arrives above the scene as Crutcher walks to the vehicle can be heard saying “time for a Taser.” He then says: “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.”
Police Chief Chuck Jordan announced before the video and audio recordings’ release that Crutcher had no weapon on him or in his SUV when he was shot Friday. It’s not clear from the footage what led Betty Shelby, the officer who fired the fatal shot, to draw her gun or what orders officers might have given Crutcher. Local and federal investigations are underway to determine whether criminal charges are warranted in the shooting or if Crutcher’s civil rights were violated.
Crutcher’s twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher, called for charges Monday.
“The big bad dude was my twin brother. That big bad dude was a father,” she said. “That big bad dude was a son. That big bad dude was enrolled at Tulsa Community College, just wanting to make us proud. That big bad dude loved God. That big bad dude was at church singing with all of his flaws, every week. That big bad dude, that’s who he was.”
From the reflections off the car windows when the copter circles back around, it’s clear that both driver’s side windows are closed.
