Terence Crutcher’s Family Provide Video Proving he Did not Reach into Vehicle: ‘Put the Entire Story Up’

The family of an unarmed Black man shot dead by a Tulsa, Oklahoma police officer Friday evening is vehemently denying any and all police narratives that paint their loved one as a threat that needed to be neutralized.

Attorneys for the family of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher held a press conference Tuesday to address pieces of “misinformation” spouted by police concerning what led up to the fatal shooting. One of the false claims, according to attorneys, is that Crutcher failed to comply with officers’ commands and reached through the driver’s side window for a possible weapon — thus causing officers to open fire.

But according to the Tulsa World, attorneys were able to poke a massive hole in the police’s claims by presenting large, poster-sized images from police video footage that showed Crutcher’s driver-side door was closed, along with his window, which had a visible blood stain on it.
