Jury acquits Tulsa cop in shooting of unarmed black man

One of the actually fucked up cases, not like Brown's and Martin's case where shit was at least somewhat justified.

"
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A white Oklahoma police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man last year was found not guilty Wednesday of first-degree manslaughter.

Jurors deliberated for just over nine hours before finding Tulsa officer Betty Jo Shelby not guilty in the Sept. 16 shooting of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher. Shelby said she fired her weapon out of fear because she said he didn’t obey her commands to lie on the ground and appeared to reach inside his SUV for what she thought was a gun. Crutcher was unarmed.

Prosecutors told jurors that Shelby overreacted. They noted Crutcher had his hands in their air and wasn’t combative — part of which was confirmed by police video taken from a dashboard camera and helicopter that showed Crutcher walking away from Shelby, hands held above his head.


I won't post the video because it's kinda graphic and I'ma get banned, but it shows the dude with both hands in the air. It also doesn't look like he's reaching into his SUV. He had PCP in his blood so I guess that was the justification for the officer's fear.

The moment just before he gets shot:




GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I'm confused why you'd think Shelby was guilty. You realize she's not a man, don't you?
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
Sigh...and the cops wonder why people hate them.

why the sex is important here btw
Beat cops shouldn't even have lethal weapons as a primary option. They should only be armed with non-lethal weapons and should have to call in SWAT etc for lethal force.
"White supremacist Judge acquits Fascist police officer in execution style shooting of unarmed minority." - It's the fucking Kristallnacht all over again.

I still dont get why nothing is still being done about all these police shootings / racial profiling in the US.

If this was happening in the UK / EU, the entire population would riot and burn down police stations or such stuff.
