And she's not the first to lie about the interaction with a black person shortly before the untimely death of that black person. Even worse, Terence Crutcher wasn't even the only unarmed Black American to be shot and killed by police within a week, and as I'm writing this sentence, it's ONLY FUCKING THURSDAY!!!* Can you believe that we're still in a place where we have to talk about this type of thing? Given all that we've consistently seen, and yet this is still where we are. No change. No progress. Just the same excuses.

Here We are Again, Huh...?
Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Black American dealing with car trouble, was shot and killed by police officers from the Tulsa PD. The initial report from the officer (Betty Shelby) who fired the fatal shots claimed that he was "uncooperative" and did not hold his hands in the air for full visibility. Well, that's a lie.
