Actions Is what got this man killed.
 
Gun drawn and the man is walking away. Tasered once and still trying to get something or into his vehicle.

I was hoping this wouldn't be another Laquan McDonald thing and it appears it wasn't. Still....

@tntrecycling : Really? I'd like to go test that by stalling my car in the middle of the highway and then requesting police help and walking away from them. I am five foot, female, white and blond and I would like to see a cop EVER pull his Taser or gun on me while helping with a stalled car. RIDICULOUS.
 
The police have already started the lying......
 
Police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie said Saturday that Crutcher refused the officers’ commands to put his hands up. Members of Crutcher’s family, who saw the video before to it was released to the public, said the footage contradicts that claim.

@tntrecycling
 
I'm saying it would never get to that point of them telling me to stop or pulling a weapon because they wouldn't see me as a threat even though I could have a gun in my purse just the same as a 6 foot black man having one in his car. I was arrested once and they didn't restrain me or search my bag and they let me smoke in front of the station without any police presence. It's called white privilege and it's real.

@lanestar7 Sorry I have seen both sides and have been on both side.
 
Did they know he didn't have a weapon.
 
Telling the man to stop yet he continued to do as he pleased.
 
So say it was @lanestar7 that pulled this man over or how ever he got stopped.
 
Now he walking away from you and not listening to you what's your best choice.
 
Now he is reaching into his vehicle only split seconds to act.

@tntrecycling :
 
Sorry, no video proof he reached into the car. The last video shot is him NEXT TO the car with his hands still in the air. The police have already lied about that so I'm no longer inclined to believe this specific group of officers as they are now untrustworthy.

Was that after the man was down, they all backed away from him and didn't offer any medical assistance at all. What was that all about?

@cjsummers :
I agree with your assessment, there are too many cops in the way of the video to determine what was happening when he was shot.
 
The lack of first aid is a disturbing part of many of these videos.
 
That was the biggest complaint of the shooting of the guy in Ferguson.
 
They shoot the person, then back away and leave him to die in the street. Where is the first aid? any attempt to stop the bleeding? That is what is bizarre. IMO.

@joepyeweed Um...if they think the person is dead then it becomes a potential crime scene and then don't they generally leave the body in situ until investigators get there??
