TULSA, Okla. (AP) €” Prosecutors in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have filed first-
degree manslaughter charges against the white police officer who
fatally shot an unarmed black man on a city street.

District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler filed the charges Thursday against
officer Betty Shelby, who shot and killed 40-year-old Terence Crutcher
on Sept. 16. Dashcam and aerial footage of the shooting and its
aftermath showed Crutcher walking away from Shelby with his arms in the
air.

The footage does not offer a clear view of when Shelby fired the single
shot that killed Crutcher. Her attorney has said Crutcher was not
following police commands and that Shelby opened fire when the man
began to reach into his SUV window.

Tulsa police say Crutcher did not have a gun on him or in his vehicle..

I'm glad to see they realized, Betty shot him without just cause. Oh
wait.. I stated I thought he was shot without justified reason, Didn't
I....Yep Yep.

I hope she gets convicted and serves her time in general population.

Are you on time delay news? Shelby being charged happened a month ago
and was widely reported at the time.

What happened there is a good example of what can happen when you
decide to ignore the police and settle something on the street
instead of in court. IDK if she is guilty or innocent, but I do
know that the dead perp created the toxic situation that ultimately
lead to what happened. And contrary to what we initially heard
about a "minister" being gunned down, PCP was found in his car and
the autopsy showed the perp was chock full of it.


It doesn't matter if the man had PCP in his blood or not. The video
shows that he was standing with his arms up and had not moved towards
the officers.

She jumped the gun... literally. She had previously seen there was no
gun in the vehicle because she's the cop that secured it because the
front door was open when she found it abandoned. The video shows the
front door was CLOSED and the window was UP. If there had still been a
gun in the front seat of that vehicle, she'd have been negligent when
she originally secured the vehicle and closed the front door.

If the man had taken steps toward the officers, I can see him being
tased, but shot?? There were at least 4 officers there close by, and
there are other ways to subdue big men besides killing them.


I still think that those with the facts should be making the decisions.
We have no more facts now than we did then.

But having no facts has never stopped Muggles before. And in so many
of these, when the facts do come out, the truth versus what Muggles
and similar told us turn out to be very different. Examples range
from Michael Brown being an innocent black boy gunned down in the street,
to that deaf perp, who was supposed to be just driving to a safe place
to pull over. The facts showed a very different story.
