You do know that's 10 years ago, right? And it's no shock that the system goes after young black men for drugs.
First off, the "big bad dude" comment was from the Helicopter and not from the ground officers. It makes no difference to the case at all, because they have no influence on the proceedings down below. The ONE guy made a comment from his own opinion of how the suspect looked from the air. Secondly, we shall see and await the toxicity results of his blood work. I am pretty certain that the dude was high. If not, I'll eat crow, I have no problem saying I was wrong. But people generally don't disobey police direction when they are sober.
Oh, please. The guy has a history of drug charges. Because why? Because HE chose to use and or distribute. Am I even reading correctly that the guy JUST got out of jail?
TEN YEAR OLD CHARGES. Did the guy take this mythical PCP before or after attending the class he just left? Even if he were on drugs, it doesn't justify shooting the guy. He had his hands in the air, he was unarmed.
So why did the guy in the coptor say he was about to get tazed and one of the officers actually tazed him?
Ask him. I don't know. Perhaps he wasn't trained in recognizing the affects of drugs, like the woman police officer was. Or perhaps the woman police officer was going to see how the taser worked before she fired. Maybe they were trying to use non-lethal and it didn't work so they had to resort to the gun. Here's the thing; it only takes seconds for someone to pull a gun from their pocket, or reach to their dash of their car and grab a gun. If both officers are holding tasers, they are toast, specially if the guy is on PCP.
A good reason for body cams. If your speculation was true I am sure the attorney would have already said these things. For the record I don't really care if he was high on PCP or not. If she wasn't a police officer and you saw this video even you would say it was murder.
He wasn't in jail in 2012. And I don't believe the police after a shooting like this. They executed the man, planting evidence on him or his car is to be expected. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/loca...cle_d965a1f2-072b-57bf-a682-6b1cfb22b246.html A 2012 probable cause affidavit in a misdemeanor case against Crutcher states that his father arrived at the scene in north Tulsa where Terence Crutcher was being arrested on public intoxication and obstruction complaints and told officers his son had “an ongoing problem” with PCP. An officer used a Taser on Crutcher twice during that arrest while he was face down on the ground, based on the officer’s claim that Crutcher did not comply with at least three orders to show his hands.
I agree with you on the body cam thing. Read this: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/21/us/terence-crutcher-police-shooting-point-counterpoint/index.html And you should care if the person was high on PCP. People on that drug fuck shit up and can hurt people (if they turn violent on it) much like the synthetic pot shit where you turn into a face eater. Lastly, it WOULD be murder if she wasn't a police officer because regular folk do not have the authority to use deadly force in situations like this without first being attacked or fired upon. However, Police Officers do not have to wait to fire before being fired upon. If that is an issue, take it up with the people who write the rules, not the police officers.

You are correct on the jail time, I misread the rap sheet; he was out in 2011. Still on parole. And has countless interactions with police on his record. They've used the taser twice on him in the past in one sitting; which lends to the belief that a taser doesn't work on people that are high, or works rarely. Also, depending on the clothing of the suspect; a taser may not work, hell the officer could have even missed or had a bad discharge.
That's why I asked who the anonymous trainers are, so that we can advocate their hangings. Who ARE the cowardly anonymous killers who write these rules? Names?
Many black people have "countless" interactions with police. The police go out of their way to make it so. The cops in NYC used to stop and frisk them randomly, for christ's sake. The badge isn't a hunting license. That's how it is looking, though.
OK man, if you want to sit there and try to prove he was innocent in the past then bring proof. Otherwise there is no use in arguing about this. You can't prove he was innocent, but there is proof he was guilty.
