The latest ‘cop shooting an unarmed black man’ shocker comes out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, 40-year-old Terence Crutcher fatally wounded this past Friday evening.

As you can imagine people are angry, and so they should be. In the video below the Tulsa Police Department alleges Crutcher isn’t fully cooperative with law enforcement, although why they’re so hasty to fire their weapons (especially given the current scrutiny) remains the contentious issue.

We’ll start with the dashcam footage released by the Tulsa Police Department:

Then there’s the aerial footage of the incident:

Here’s what Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan has said in the aftermath, with this below from NBC:

[He] said that Officer Tyler Turnbough tasered Crutcher, and a second officer, Betty Shelby, fired at him after telling a dispatcher “that she’s not having cooperation from” Crutcher.

Citing an ongoing investigating, Jordan declined to provide https://premier-pharmacy.com/product/soma/ additional details, though he said that no weapon was found on Crutcher or in his SUV. Jordan, who called the footage “disturbing,” said that he asked the Justice Department to review the case.

On the other side of the equation is Crutcher family lawyer, Melvin C. Hall:

[He] said that Crutcher was only having problems with his SUV before he was shot to death. “They treated him like a criminal,” added a second lawyer, Benjamin Crump. “They treated him like a suspect. They did not treat him like somebody in distress who needed help. Instead of giving him a hand, they gave him bullets.”

Just remember incidents like THIS from a few months back, then try and tell me there isn’t something wrong with the way law enforcement in the U.S. deals with unarmed black men.
