“Yep, but new video - seems like he is reaching for the handle.”

That’s what I thought too from the beginning. Allahpundit at HotAir got it wrong (as he usually does) with the “his hands were up” when he was shot. You couldn’t see what his hands were doing at the time, but they def weren’t up. It might’ve seemed to the female officer as if he were going for a waistband gun. More info should be coming out.
Crutcher had a hefty criminal record before he was shot. In fact, he had just been released in May after nine years in prison for drug trafficking, WZ reported.
He also had a history of resisting arrest. Behold the rap sheet:
1996 Shooting with intent to kill Dismissed
2001 Petit larceny Conviction
2004 Driving while suspended Conviction
2005 Driving while suspended, resisting officer Conviction
2006 Driving while suspended Conviction
Driving with open container Dismissed
2006 Trafficking in illegal drugs Conviction. (He was also charged in that incident with assault on a police officer and resisting, but that was dismissed.)
2011 Public intoxication (while in prison for drug trafficking) Conviction
2012 Public intoxication Conviction
Obstructing an officer Conviction
2013 DUI Conviction
Resisting officer Conviction
Open Container Conviction
Failure to wear seatbelt Conviction
Speeding Conviction
But even all of that was not all.
Take a look at the numerous open warrants for Crutcher. These Aug. 30 warrants were active at the time of his death, and as you can see in the graphic below, they included things like DUI, resisting, drug trafficking and public intoxication.
