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.

The female officer was afraid and she shot him. Her career is over and it should be. Horrible police work.
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.”
The guy had his hands up but was clearly not following their direction. He walked to the car, at the drivers door, the window appeared to be rolled down and he appeared to be reaching in. Bad move.
Whoops.
Betty’s going bye-bye.
Usually, the police are in the right. But my problem with this case, as with the shooting of Lavoy Finicum, is that in at least a few cases, the ROE seem to be:
1) Taser suspect. (In at least Finicum’s case, he was tasered when his hands were up.)
2) If suspect then makes any move that could possibly be interpreted as dangerous, then shoot him, even tho’ you know darn well a tasered person may flail about.
3) Shoot to kill, even though no suspect weapon is seen.
I hope exonerating evidence for the officer in this case turns up, but from what we have now, this appears far different from the Michael Brown case. Hopefully, I am wrong.
SO many of the truly assinine shootings are done by female cops. Why is that? I remember a 70-year old guy with a small knife at least 50 feet away from a phalanx of cops a few years back. Then the female, who had been the only one screaming at him to drop it, began shooting at him, and the rest followed, turning the poor senile man into swiss cheese. She left the force.
I don’t know; it was probably a justified shooting, and the shooter was a victim too (female).
If this is not murder then it is impossible for the police to commit it.
A White Female killed the Black Man.
Hillary Clinton is a White Female.
Don’t Vote for Hilary Clinton, she is just like the White Female that killed a Black Man.
Just using Liberal Logic.
Crutcher had a hefty criminal record before he was shot. In fact, he had just been released in May after nine years in prison for drug trafficking, WZ reported.
He also had a history of resisting arrest. Behold the rap sheet:
1996 Shooting with intent to kill — Dismissed
2001 Petit larceny — Conviction
2004 Driving while suspended — Conviction
2005 Driving while suspended, resisting officer — Conviction
2006 Driving while suspended — Conviction
Driving with open container — Dismissed
2006 Trafficking in illegal drugs — Conviction. (He was also charged in that incident with assault on a police officer and resisting, but that was dismissed.)
2011 Public intoxication (while in prison for drug trafficking) — Conviction
2012 Public intoxication — Conviction
Obstructing an officer — Conviction
2013 DUI — Conviction
Resisting officer — Conviction
Open Container — Conviction
Failure to wear seatbelt — Conviction
Speeding — Conviction
But even all of that was not all.
Take a look at the numerous open warrants for Crutcher. These Aug. 30 warrants were active at the time of his death, and as you can see in the graphic below, they included things like DUI, resisting, drug trafficking and public intoxication.
