Crutcher approached the responding officers on foot and failed to put his hands up when the cops ordered him to, police said."He refused to follow commands given by the officers," Tulsa police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie told the Associated Press. "They continued to talk to him, he continued not to listen and follow any commands."
Also, going back to King's "why I never believe what cops say after they shoot someone" piece:Quote"He refused to follow commands given by the officers," Tulsa police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie told the Associated Press. "They continued to talk to him, he continued not to listen and follow any commands."

WTF prompts four officers and a chopper even being there in this situation?
I'm thinking this is a classic case shooting someone by accident and then trying to make it seem justified after the fact. This time the shooter is actually a cop and not a moonlighting dentist.

I think the cops shot another unarmed black man in charlotte yesterday but maybe that is already in another thread. From what I read he was waiting to pick up His son from school or something.
