Tell me this: why did none of the other officers shoot?
Usually you’ll see a video with a bunch of cops, and they’ll all start shooting simultaneously when the suspect does this or that.
How come the other officers with their guns trained on Crutcher didn’t think it was a ‘shoot now’ situation?
That’s a good point. That’s why people who get involved in confrontations with the police usually come away with 20+ bullet holes in them, or zero.
I saw a totally out of it black man NOT doing what he was instructed to do. I just want to point that out. This is ENDEMIC in the black community and the ACTUAL CAUSE of the problem.
I heard that his car was PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET LONG BEFORE THE COP EVEN NOTICED HIM.
Hard to tell in the video but the guy close to her looks like he looks at her with a WTF? comment.
Exactly.
These guys nailed her and so did the cameras in the air and on the ground.
So did Trump.
For one thing, none of us were there. How can we second guess them (or just her)?
I can say that she was the first response to the scene and she would have known the most about the situation. Her actions afterwords show that she was in fear.
I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe she shot this guy because she simply wanted to or because he was black. Hence why I take the officer’s side here.
