It really pissed the HELL out of me when one police said he "Looked like one bad dude and may be on drugs!"
It is reported that the person in the police helicopter is the one who said “time for a Taser.” He then says: “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.” and he said it through a loudspeaker from the helicopter.That is not what they said. (I'm not condoning the shooting. I'm just saying that's not what they said.)
Yeah that is right , I was in a hurry to watch Gun Smoke and was missing it so I didn't say the part you posted.It is reported that the person in the police helicopter is the one who said “time for a Taser.” He then says: “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.” and he said it through a loudspeaker from the helicopter.
Oh wow, I'm worried about police officers could getting shot and killed by surprise, random shooting like happened in Dallas.
Some police officers don't know how to do job properly that put us into crisis.
Unfortunately, the police are doing it to themselves. If they had independent shooting review boards that investigated these shootings and started sending some of these "law enforcement officers" to prison for murdering these unarmed people or people who are carrying a screwdriver, potato peeler, Makita drill, etc. to prison, the police departments might actually retrain their officers to think first and react second or return to using their baton as their first line of defense when faced with anything less that a gun.
It is also very convenient that the cameras these officers were using were not being used.
911 callers reported that Crutcher was acting strangely and the car had been abandoned in the middle of the road. Maybe the police was on alert due to 911 calls. I rewatched the original video carefully. Anyone can see Crutcher's right hand was down at waist level before he was tazed and shot. There was a blood trail on the door and window. It may look like the seat belt but it isn't. The driver's seat and its head clearly are cream, so the seat belt should be cream, too.
They should have tazed him before he walked back to his car when he failed to comply. I think the policewoman overreacted and blew it. Both are at fault.
What a thoughtless and dangerous generalization, Whatdidyousay! And shame on most of the other posters above for agreeing with such a horribly unfair knee-jerk position.
It's idiotic to say "police are doing it to themselves."
1. The police being ambushed, wounded, and killed had nothing to do with shooting suspects, black or otherwise. They are innocent.
2. Certainly not all of the officer-involved shootings were justified, but the majority across the nation are justified to protect the officers and citizens in the area. But almost every one of cases in the news involved a suspect who was not innocent and refused order after order again and again -- including the one at issue here. After driving irrationall, the man dangerously parked his vehicle askew in the center of a highway, tried to get back in it, and refused to stop and show his hands.
3. Of course his family loudly disagree, but they weren't there, yet still call the officers murderers. However, the cops have to keep quiet and wait for the investigation.
4. In the same situation, I may have been forced to do the same as the woman officer to protect myself and fellow officers. You armchair lawyers weren't there, either. The officer at least deserves a fair investigation and hearing.
5. The people who are literally doing it to themselves are the suspects who break laws, act crazy, and/or refuse to obey armed officers trying to subdue them.
His car broke down !" An unarmed black man killed by a white Oklahoma officer who was responding to a stalled vehicle can be seen in police video walking away from officers and toward his SUV with his hands up before he approaches the driver's side door, where he drops to the ground after being shocked with a stun gun then fatally shot."What a thoughtless and dangerous generalization, Whatdidyousay!
