When Will The Violence Stop?


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.
