May be we need to take the color out of this complaint, then we address the
real issue. Do I want my kid to join a Police force in any jurisdiction? Hell
no for blacks are going to make his/her life a living nightmare, for blacks are
not about creating safer societies, they are about covering their short falls
by blaming everyone out there, except themselves. On record, there is no known
black that has ever been shot and a black leader or a parent stands up and
says, you know what he was wrong here or there, that simply never happen for
blacks commit no crimes. Being black has become a life badge to do everything
you want for if you are arrested you claim racism and badges drop.
I get so frustrated with solutions built on Hillary Clinton campaign, yup we
have fought ISIS for 8 years using this system, and Trump is wrong for he is
failing to see the value of the system. We are going to talk to our Arab
friends and we are going to trust out agencies to track down the terrorists and
go after them. FBI is the most corrupt organization you have you damn twat,
Russia warned them about the Boston bomber they did not care, a father of the
New York bomber warned them that his son is a terrorist and they did not care.
But again the director of FBI is James Comey the very same man that stated that
if any one deletes classified Emails that have been subpoena by that Congress,
is not committing a crime. It is very sad for the people that get stabbed or
blown up in bombs as New York are actually real human beings that The democrats
with FBI as its surrogates have failed to realize.
That is the danger you fall in when you use a same solution that have for ages
failed.

Me thinks there are a number of Blacks in the US who want to, literally, annoy
and piss of the police so they can walk straight head on to a bullet. Lets face
it, the police is human like all else and can be afraid death. I wouldn't
hesitate either than to drill a lead shot altho I would aim to demobilize an
irritant.
Some Blacks simply want to die but either don't know how or are cowards to do
it themselves so go for police bullets. To be killed by the police in US is
some sort of martyrdom for Blacks these days. Its fame to be killed by the
police.

Going by the experience of that last four years, nothing will come out of this
investigations. I have an idea of how to solve this problem, but I'm afraid,
most people will find my suggestion too radical.

Black man fatally shot by Tulsa police was unarmed, chief says, as ‘disturbing’
video is released
Police in Oklahoma released video footage Monday that shows a white Tulsa
police officer fatally shooting an unarmed black man — footage that the city’s
police chief called “very disturbing.”
“It’s very difficult to watch,” Police Chief Chuck Jordan said at a news
conference Monday. “The first time I watched it, I watched it with the family.
… We will do the right thing: We will not cover anything up.”
Jordan said investigators never found a weapon on Terence Crutcher or in his
vehicle after the 40-year-old was shot and killed Friday as he stood beside his
stalled SUV. Crutcher died in a hospital later that evening.
U.S. Attorney Danny Williams announced that the Justice Department has opened
an independent investigation into the fatal shooting.
The footage from Tulsa is the latest in a series of controversial videos
showing white police officers fatally shooting unarmed black men, and it
promises to add a new chapter to an already bitter and divisive debate about
race and policing in America.
Crutcher is one of at least 680 people — 161 of them black men — who have been
shot and killed by police officers this year, according to a Washington Post
database tracking police shootings.
For Tulsa, Friday’s deadly encounter is the second time in as many years that
the police have been involved in a controversial fatal shooting that was
captured on video. On April 2, 2015, an undercover Tulsa sheriff’s operation
went wrong — and a white reserve deputy sheriff shot and killed an unarmed
black man, Eric Harris.

reviewed video of the shooting]
As has been the case in city after city following fatal police shootings, local
officials called for calm Monday and promised transparency in the hopes of
preempting civil unrest.
“Please maintain the peace,” Jordan urged.
The police chief’s plea was echoed by Tiffany Crutcher, the slain man’s twin
sister.
“Just know that our voices will be heard,” she said,according to the Tulsa
World. Noting that “the video will speak for itself,” she added: “Let’s
protest. Let’s do what we have to do, but let’s just make sure that we do it
peacefully.”
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the county courthouse in Tulsa to call
for police reforms, the Associated Press reported: “Supporters held signs
reading, ‘Justice 4 Crutch’ and ‘Relationships Matter.’ One young boy held up a
sign that read ‘Don’t Shoot.’ ”
Jordan, the police chief, released few details about the shooting, but said
that officers discovered an SUV running in the middle of the road with its
doors open. He said that officers then encountered Crutcher, who the officers
claim did not comply with their demands and appeared to reach into the vehicle.
Police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie had earlier told reporters that two
officers were walking toward the stalled SUV when Crutcher approached them from
the side of the road.
“He refused to follow commands given by the officers,” MacKenzie said. “They
continued to talk to him; he continued not to listen and follow any commands.
As they got closer to the vehicle, he reached inside the vehicle and at that
time there was a Taser deployment, and a short time later there was one shot
fired.”
Video shows Crutcher walking toward his vehicle with his hands above his head
while several officers follow closely behind him with weapons raised. He
lingers at his vehicle’s driver’s side window, his body facing the SUV, before
slumping to the ground a second later.
“Shots fired!” a female voice can be heard yelling.
Based on the video alone, it appears unclear who fired the fatal shot or why it
was fired.

After Crutcher is hit, footage shows his limp and bloodied body lying on the
roadway beside his vehicle. Officers appear to wait more than a minute before
approaching Crutcher while he bleeds in the street.
“It was reported that Terence died at the hospital; that is not true,” said
Demario Solomon Simmons, one of the attorneys for Crutcher’s family. “Terence
died on that street by himself.”
On Sunday, police released the names of the officers involved. Betty Shelby,
who has been with the force since 2011, fired her service weapon, and officer
Tyler Turnbough, who was hired in 2009, deployed his stun gun, police said.
Both officers were placed on administrative leave with pay.
Police showed the video to Crutcher’s family Sunday afternoon, and then to a
group of local community leaders and ministers.
The Crutcher family and their attorneys were particularly angered by audio
recordings of the responding officers, in which one describes Crutcher as a
“bad dude.”
“We’re truly devastated; the entire family is devastated,” Tiffany Crutcher
said. “That big bad dude was a father, that big bad dude was a son, that big
bad dude was enrolled at Tulsa Community College just wanting to make us all
proud, that big bad dude loved God, that big bad dude was in church singing
with all of his flaws every week.”
She recalled celebrating their 40th birthday, on Aug. 16. On that day, he
texted his twin sister to promise that he would complete his community college
classes.
“I have his text message, and it said: ‘I’m going to show you. I’m going to
make you all proud,’” she said. “And now he’ll never get that chance.”

“I didn’t expect the video to be this troubling, but it is troubling,” Owens
said. “The officer who shot and killed Terence said he refused to show his
hands. The video footage, however, shows him with hands in the air, he walks
away from the police at a slow pace, leans against the car, and that is when he
was shot.”
Owens said that the group of leaders gathered in the room were shocked by what
they had seen, especially because it appeared that officers did not render aid
to the dying man for more than a minute after he was shot.
“We asked questions of the police officers and the chief of police, who was
there,” Owens said. “And there didn’t seem to be a real good explanation for
why police would not have rendered medical aid for so long.”
“He needed help, he needed a hand. And what he got was a bullet in the lungs,”
said Benjamin Crump, a civil rights attorney who has represented the families
of the slain in many high-profile police shootings.
[Police killed the black ‘Miami zombie.’ So why did a terrifying, face-eating
white teen live?]
Crump compared the shooting to that of Jonathan Ferrell in North Carolina and
Corey Jones in Florida, both cases which began with a black man having his car
break down only to end up shot dead by an officer.
“What was Terence Crutcher’s crime?” Crump asked. “When unarmed people of color
break down on the side of the road, we’re not treated as citizens needing help,
we’re treated as criminals, as suspects.”
Tiffany Crutcher demanded Monday that charges be pressed immediately against
the “incompetent” officer who killed her brother.

In April, 74-year-old Robert Bates, an insurance executive who served as a
reserve sheriff’s deputy in Tulsa, was convicted of second-degree manslaughter
by a jury after he was caught on camera killing Harris.
Jurors only needed three hours to find Bates guilty. His lawyer blamed
“negative press” for the verdict.
The insurance executive had pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter in
the death of Harris, the unarmed black man he shot and killed during an
undercover operation a year earlier. Moments after shooting Harris, Bates could
be heard on camera claiming that he shot Harris after mistakenly reaching for
his gun instead of his stun gun after chasing him on foot.
According to the Tulsa World, Bates’s lawyer called a psychiatrist to testify
that Bates “mistakenly shooting Harris was reasonable given the stress of the
situation, and before closing arguments jurors were instructed on the statutory
requirements for ‘excusable homicide.’ ” Jurors didn’t buy the argument,
agreeing with prosecutors after the 1 1/2-week trial that Bates was guilty of
criminal negligence.
Andre Harris, the brother of the slain man, said four years in prison would
“teach [Bates] a lesson,” the newspaper reported. “That place ain’t that nice,”
Andre Harris told reporters. “He said he hopes Bates learns that all lives
matter, and he said Bates should not have been on a drug task force chasing
supposedly deadly criminals,” the newspaper reported. “Not at 73.”
