Crutcher was high on PCP, was acting bizarrely, and was not acknowledging Shelby's commands to stop, and instead continued toward his vehicle without acknowledging anything she was saying. Shelby was the first officer on the scene at ground zero, making a real time decision that her life was at risk based on his behavior. I don't think you have a sound understanding of the case.
Oh, I have a sound understanding of the case. I know about all the information you posted above. Funny how Shelby chooses to shoot while Turnbough chose to taser. Both next to each other. That should tell you something about the situation. Crutcher was not even facing Shelby and did not have a gun in his hand. I take it you are a cop. I can understand how you would want to side and defend another cop. Of course the jury is not going to convict her. If they did, no cop would ever shoot a person that was unarmed again. Which might be a good thing. ...and all this, and other similar incidents, eventually led us to the situation in Charlottesville, VA, where the police decided not to get involved. Avoid confrontations. But I think it was also politically motivated. Shelby left the Tulsa police department but now decided to come back as a reserve deputy.
