When will the violence stop? When are we going to be able to
watch the news without seeing police killing innocent people? MURDER IS MURDER!
As we all know, police officer, Betty Shelby shot and killed Terence Crutcher
at around 7:30 on Friday night. In the video posted by CNN, you can obviously see that Terence is
cooperating with his hands up. Bettys attorney stated, "She was
yelling at him to stop, for probably at least 10 to 15 seconds. He gets to the
window of the SUV, and has his hands in the air, looks at them ... and his left
hand goes into the window". In this video that shows the footage of the
whole shooting, you can clearly see that Terence’s window up. Also, considering
that after the shooting there was blood all over the window, proves that there
was no way that Terence could have tried to reach in the car. Still trying to
figure out how a black man that is looking for help with his car is viewed as a
“threat”. In the police helicopter footage, you hear someone
say “that looks like a bad dude to, could be on something”. First off, the
person who made that statement in the video obviously judged Terence off the
way he looks. What makes him look like a bad dude? Is it because he is a
different color then the officers were? Terence actually just celebrated his 40th
birthday party with his twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher. He was a father of four
that loved god and participated at church events every week. Terence also
enrolled in a community college, and told his sister told his sister, "I'm
going to make you all proud”. Even though the officer responsible for the death
of Terence turned herself in, there is nothing that is going to bring this man
back to his family and children.
