Warning: graphic
As we say in each case, we should wait for all the facts in any case before we draw conclusions one way or the other. Before you jump to calling it the Crutcher case ‘murder’, look at why cops don’t let suspects reach back into their cars.
Via Bearing Arms:
There are many outraged people complaining that Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Shelby “murdered” Terence Crutcher for refusing to follow lawful police commands, returning to his vehicle, and allegedly lowering his hands to reach inside it.
They cannot fathom why an officer would feel threatened by a non-compliant suspect who returned to his or her vehicle and reaches inside.
That probably because they are probably unaware of one of the most infamous police shootings death of the past 20 years, where a Georgia Sheriff’s deputy gave a suspect pulled over for a simple speeding ticket every opportunity to surrender peacefully… too many opportunities, in fact.
