LOOKS CAN KILL:

Tulsa police said one officer fired a stun gun and another officer fired one shot that killed Terence Crutcher, who was black, after investigating his stalled car Friday night. Officer Betty Shelby, who is white, fired the fatal shot and Officer Tyler Turnbough, who is also white, deployed his Taser, police have said.

"I'm going to tell you right now, there was no gun on the suspect or in the suspect's vehicle," Police Chief Chuck Jordan said at a press conference Monday afternoon. "I want to assure our community and I want to assure all of you and people across the nation watching this: We will achieve justice." [...]

Crutcher, 40, refused orders at the scene, according to police. Investigators released video on Monday from three officers' dashcams and a police helicopter camera, along with dispatch recordings.

"I've got a subject that won't show me his hands," a female officer said in a dispatch recording. Another officer buzzed in to say he was en route to the scene near 36th St. N and Lewis Ave.

Yet the footage showed Crutcher walking back towards his car with his hands raised in the air. He placed his hands on the side of his SUV.

Four officers surrounded him, and they obscured what happened at the moment police said he had been hit with the stun gun and the shot from Shelby's gun.

"He's got his hands up there for her now," an officer could be heard saying in the video from the helicopter as it hovered overhead.

"Time for a Taser, I think," another officer said as the four officers pointed their weapons toward Cutcher from a few feet away.

"I've got a feeling that's about to happen," the first officer said.

"That looks like a bad dude, too," the other officer said. [...]

Seeking the Kingdom Ministries Pastor Mareo Johnson, a close friend of the father of four, told the Tulsa World he and members of Crutcher's family saw the footage over the weekend.

"What I seen on the video was a man who had his hands up, to me look like in compliance with police officers," Johnson said. "The only part was where he was walking back to his car, but he had his hands up. He was Tased and shot. We believe that was too much."
