Of course criminals never lie... right?

Funny thing about how when liberals don't agree with something it's always reduced to a cover up, a lie, a scam, or it's because of an ism or a phobia, or all of the above.

Reductio ad absurdum

Have you ever considered the left are becoming victims of their own delusions?

How many times was he told what to do? How many times did he just not listen?

Yes, and the video shows him reaching in the window, which was open.

Whether Terence Crutcher's SUV window was up or down still questioned; Shelby did have Taser, police say | Crimewatch | tulsaworld.com

You cannot smell PCP on someone. It is chemically odorless.

The officer switched her bull**** story:

During cross-examination, Shelby said even though she noticed Crutcher smelled like PCP chemicals, she had forgotten to mention it in her interrogation interview.

Hey *P*, show us the video where it's clear to her from her vantage point that the window was closed.

I don't care about color either, but "blue" seems to be able to kill without accountability.

Hence the trial.

But then you have the not-guilty verdict....right?

Actually the moral of the story here , is to not make these types of lifestyle choices.

2001 Petit larceny — Conviction
2004 Driving while suspended — Conviction
2005 Driving while suspended, resisting officer — Conviction
2006 Driving while suspended — Conviction
Driving with open container — Dismissed
2006 Trafficking in illegal drugs — Conviction. (He was also charged in that incident with assault on a police officer and resisting, but that was dismissed.)

2012 Public intoxication — Conviction

Maybe had he chose a different path , he might just still be here.

Black man on PCP? Clearly a personal moral failing that makes his like contain less value. Nothing will change until cops and their loved ones suffer the repercussions of these actions whether they be legal, financial, or otherwise.

It's telling that outside of my hometown I feel safer bumping into a gang member shoulder to shoulder than I do walking on the other side of the street from a cop.

PCP is not an addictive substance. Now if he were addicted to what you list I'd say it's a tragedy just as it would be for anyone of any color.
Nice try though...
