Terence Crutcher - Tulsa shooting victim exposed as career criminal and ex-con

[ShootSpeeders]

This hilarious article from the chicago tribune gushes about how he was "turning his life around"!!! HAHAHA.

Terence Crutcher was turning life around before fatal Tulsa police shooting, family says

sep 23 2016 Crutcher had been arrested in the past. In 1995 in nearby Osage County, officers said they saw him fire a weapon out a vehicle window. Records show Crutcher was ordered to exit the vehicle for a pat-down search and began making a movement to his right ankle before an officer managed to get control of him. A .25-caliber pistol was found in his right sock, according to an affidavit.

Crutcher received suspended sentences after entering a no-contest plea to charges of carrying a weapon and resisting an officer, court records show.

Oklahoma prison officials confirmed Crutcher also served four years in prison from 2007 to 2011 on a Tulsa County drug-trafficking conviction.

Court records show officers used force against Crutcher on at least four separate occasions, including a 2012 arrest on public intoxication and obstruction complaints. In that case, an officer used a stun gun on Crutcher twice while he was face down on the ground because the officer said Crutcher didn't comply with at least three orders to show his hands, a police affidavit states. Crutcher's father showed up while he was being arrested and told the officers that his son had "an ongoing problem" with the drug PCP, the affidavit states

No doubt the cops knew about this thug's past and were quite rightly concerned what he was gonna do next.

 

[leftwinger]

Of course he is. Why don't they put that out right away?

Another thug exposed. The left won't care though. Thug lives are more important than cop lives.

Are there any blacks who DON'T have a criminal record a mile long. When you can't read or count or even tell time, i guess it's tough to get a real job and crime is your only choice.

Everywhere blacks live you find rampant crime and poverty and misery.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Twice as many whites are killed by cops as blacks. Even the Wa Post admits that.

Aren’t more white people than black people killed by police? Yes, but no.

Of course whites outnumber blacks 5 to 1 but among criminals it's about equal. Pretty much same number of whites as blacks in prison.

Man shot by Tulsa police officer was high on PCP...

Autopsy: Man Killed by Officer Was on PCP
October 12, 2016 - Terence Crutcher, who was fatally shot by a Tulsa police officer after his car broke down on a city street last month, was high on the hallucinogenic drug PCP in when he died.

An unarmed black man shot dead by a white police officer after his car broke down on a city street last month was high on the hallucinogenic drug PCP in when he died, according to toxicology tests released by a medical examiner yesterday. Terence Crutcher, 40, had "acute phencyclidine intoxication" when he died Sept. 16. Officer Betty Jo Shelby was charged with first-degree manslaughter after his death, with a prosecutor saying she reacted unreasonably when Crutcher disobeyed her commands. Medical literature says PCP, also known as Angel Dust, can induce euphoria and feelings of omnipotence as well as agitation, mania and depression.

Terence Crutcher, who was fatally shot by a Tulsa police officer after his car broke down on a city street last month, was high on the hallucinogenic drug PCP in when he died, according to toxicology tests released by a medical examiner yesterday.​

Dr. Matthew Lee, a physician and pharmacist who also works for the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, said the 96 nanograms per milliliter of PCP found in Crutcher's system is more than enough to cause someone to be uncoordinated, agitated and combative. "It's on the high side," Lee said, "relative to causing some sort of impairment or intoxication."

Videos from a police helicopter and a dashboard camera showed Crutcher walking away from Shelby on a North Tulsa street with his arms in the air, but the footage does not offer a clear view of when Shelby fired the single shot. Tulsa police had said previously that they had found a vial of PCP in Crutcher's SUV. Lawyers for Crutcher's family have said previously that even if drugs were present, the shooting wasn't justified. Shelby, 42, has pleaded not guilty. She faces between four years to life in prison if convicted.

Saw it on 60 Minutes last night...

Tulsa cop facing trial for killing black man says race not a factor
Mon Apr 3, 2017 | A white police officer facing a manslaughter trial next month for fatally shooting an unarmed black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after his vehicle broke down said race was not a factor and that the man's own actions caused his death.

In an unusual appearance on CBS News' "60 Minutes" on Sunday, officer Betty Shelby insisted her actions, captured on videotape, were driven entirely by the behavior of the man she shot, Terence Crutcher. Although the footage showed Crutcher, 40, had his hands in the air as he stood beside his car in a roadway just before Shelby shot him, she said the video fails to show clearly that he suddenly reached into the vehicle in what she believed was an attempt to grab a weapon. It was that move, and his repeated failure to heed her commands, that led Shelby, 42, to use lethal force. "What I based everything on was his actions, his behaviors," she said. Shelby acknowledged, however, that Crutcher was not being aggressive.

However, she also said she perceived Crutcher as reaching into his car for what she feared was a weapon, and also suspected that he was high on the hallucinogenic stimulant PCP, or phencyclidine, a suspicion born out by autopsy results. "I saw a threat and I used the force I felt necessary to stop a threat," she told CBS. No firearm was found on Crutcher or in his vehicle. Shelby has been charged with first-degree manslaughter, punishable by at least four years in prison in Oklahoma. Prosecutors say she escalated the situation and overreacted.

The case has stoked simmering anger among those who see racial bias in U.S. policing. In videos provided by Tulsa police, Crutcher can be seen with his hands in the air shortly before he was shot. "I don’t know what Officer Shelby was thinking when she pulled that trigger," Tiffany Crutcher, the victim's twin sister, told "60 Minutes." "What we saw on that video is what my dad always taught us to do if we were pulled over by a police officer. Put your hands in the air and put your hands on the car. And my brother did what my father taught us," she said. Shelby, who is on unpaid leave, said she regretted Crutcher's death but that he was to blame. "I have sorrow that this happened, that this man lost his life. But he caused the situation to occur," she said. "So in the end, he caused his own" death, Shelby said.
