A good chance this was suicide by cop.
And why was the cop pointing a gun at him. What did he do to deserve that

I don't know why and neither do you. We will probably know in a day or two. You are the one who has the cop convicted without any knowledge whatsoever besides two videos, one obscured and the other one showing the DA winner moving his hands down right before the shot.

Neither of us know, do we?

You're right. He was foolish to think police would help him with all that melanin. Apparently they point guns, call for back up and kill you when your car stalls.

Terence Crutcher's vehicle stalled before he was shot by Tulsa police

It looks bad for the police involved. But hopefully we're about to take a step back from our current path towards a police state where this happens with more and more frequency. We'll see what Trump does to get some sanity back to the country.

What a joke. Trump would probably put David Duke in charge.

I love how some people can sit here and look at a video and know without a doubt that this man did nothing wrong. Apparently, he was not following what the police were telling him to do and he made a move that they felt was threatening.

Again. Tell me why the police were holding him at gunpoint and calling for backup when his car broke down? The guy was coming back from class at a local community college and his car broke down. Why would police point guns at him? He had no gun and he wasn't going anywhere. Why would they hold him at gunpoint in the first place?

Once again we do not know. We will know in a day or two. Get some rest tonight. We can discuss this when we have more information than we do now. Not sure what where he was coming from has to do with anything.
