Very disturbing’ video
Videos police released on Monday show some of what happened next. The footage is “very disturbing and difficult to watch,” Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan told reporters.
The videos show Shelby and several other officers at the scene.
By the time Crutcher raised his hands, Tulsa Police officers were also flying above the scene in a helicopter, capturing the incident from an on-board camera. Footage from multiple police cameras show Crutcher walking toward his SUV in the middle of the road, hands raised, followed closely by Shelby and three other officers. They surround Crutcher, who continued to walk back to his car, where he appeared to place his hands toward the vehicle.
Circling above the scene, one police officer in the helicopter can be heard referring to Crutcher as a “bad dude,” according to audio from police footage.
Jeanne MacKenzie, Tulsa Police public information officer, said that the responding officers on the ground thought Crutcher had reached his hands into the driver’s side window of the vehicle.
Moments later, as Crutcher stands beside his car, the video shows him fall to the ground.
think he may have just been Tasered,” an officer says over the radio.
“Shots fired!” a female officer says.
In the video, Crutcher lies in the middle of the street, motionless, soon to be dead.
Attorneys speak on misinformation coming from police department
Although the Tulsa Police public information officer claims officers on the ground thought Crutcher had reached his hands into the driver’s side window of the vehicle, video of the shooting shows that isn’t the case.
Attorney Benjamin Crump said he wants to clear up the misinformation that the police department has released.
“We thought it was important to address this misinformation that was put out for public consumption,” Crump said at a press conference Tuesday.
At the press conference, Crump said it is not possible that Crutcher could have been reaching inside of his car’s window.
The attorney showed an enlarged image from the police helicopter video, showing that Crutcher’s window was actually rolled up, meaning he couldn’t have been seen reaching into his vehicle.
How could he be reaching into the car if the window is up and there is blood on the glass?” Crump asked at the press conference.
Sister slams officer’s ‘negligence and incompetency’
At a news conference Monday, Tiffany Crutcher said she believes her twin brother Terence died because of a Tulsa Police officer’s “negligence and incompetency and insensitivity.”
Just a month ago, she said, the twins had celebrated their 40th birthday. Terence, a God-loving father who sang at church every week, had enrolled at a community college in Tulsa, where he hoped to earn a degree.
“I’m going to show you,” Terence recently texted his sister. “I’m going to make you all proud.”
Now, she said, charges should be pressed to ensure justice is served. According to his sister, that’s the least that should happen given Crutcher won’t be able to make his family proud like he hoped to do.
“And because he was a big bad dude,” she said referring back to the police helicopter tape, “he’ll never get that chance.”
Officer’s attorney: There’s more to the story
Scott Wood, an attorney representing Shelby, says people should reserve judgment until all the facts about the case come out. There’s more to the story, he says, than the videos show.
Before the cameras started rolling, Wood says, Shelby sensed that something seemed off about Crutcher.
“He had a very hollow look in his face, kind of a thousand-yard stare, so to speak, and would not communicate. And she could tell he was not normal. She thought that when she saw him,” he said.
She had yelled repeatedly that he should get down and stop walking, Wood said.
But Crutcher kept going, placing his hands in his pockets, where she feared there could be a weapon, Wood said.
However, video shows Crutcher had his hands up in the air.
when the officer opened fire, according to her attorney, she thought Crutcher was retrieving a weapon from his car.
However, Crutcher’s family’s attorney said a news conference Tuesday that this would not have been possible. Video from the scene shows the window was rolled up.
Wood insists this incident has nothing to do with race.
He said Shelby suspected Crutcher was under the influence.
“People who are under the influence have unpredictable behavior, whether you are white, Hispanic, or black,” he said.
Crutcher’s legal team said that even if that were true, shooting a man to death for being on drugs is not a justified response.
The victim’s family’s attorneys emphasized Crutcher was not belligerent at the time of the shooting.
“At that particular moment he was shot, he was not a suspect for any crime, period,” attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons said.
Tulsa Police Department's Twitter account appears deactivated a day after Terence Crutcher video released
Tulsa Police Department's Twitter account, @ Tulsapolice, appears deactivated Tuesday, the day after TPD released video footage from the fatal shooting of Terence Crutcher.
Officer Jeanne MacKenzie told the Tulsa World that the account was taken down because the agency has received a "large amount of threats." MacKenzie said the Tulsa Police Facebook page would remain online but that its review section, which allows users to rate it between one and five stars, has been disabled for the same reason.
According to ahttps://twitter.com/TulsaPolice" target="_blank">cached version of TPD's Twitter page, the account had 12,600 followers, and its last tweet appears to be from Sept. 16 calling for help identifying suspects in a vehicle theft.

While Colin Kaepernick says he’s seen positives emerge from a racial-equality movement sparked by his national-anthem protests, he’s also received death threats as a result.
“I’ve had a few come my way, but not too concerned about it,” Kaepernick said Tuesday inside the 49ers locker room.
Asked if those threats have come only through his social-media channels, Kaepernick responded: “Couple different avenues.”
Kaepernick said he does not alert team security in the wake of such threats, because, “to me, if something like that were to happen, you’ve proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened, and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now.
“Granted, it’s not how I want it to happen, but that’s the realization of what could happen. I knew there were other things that came along with this when I first stood up and spoke about it. It’s not something I haven’t thought about.”
