This may be a warranted charge. Wait and see. This is different from other cop on black shootings. The evidence produced thus far, or not (emphasis added), is anything but dispositive on the issue of whether or not the shooting was justified.
Just saying.
GIRL POWER!
I feel for the officer but I knew she made a huge mistake!
No gun, she had plenty assistance at hand and overhead. Why did she shoot?
A serious criminal history for the dead guy would,unless the *cop's* background is *also* dirty,probably cause me to to vote not guilty.And that goes double if his toxicology report shows a serious problem.
That’s the highest charge without “intent”; somehow, blacks won’t be ok with that as they’ll want her lynched. 0bama will cheer “the anger is justified”.
Find a better justice system anywhere and move there.
This will lead to more police resigning the force, or at the very least staying away from certain areas. Who wants to be a policeman when it’s assumed you’re the bad guy?
I ran into this. I think it is true but do not know for fact. Give it a 90 percent confidence level.

“Officer Betty Shelby did NOT have the information that Crutcher was an ex-felon at the time she pulled the trigger! ..... Already there have been lies about an open driver’s window; in the helicopter video, the window is clearly closed and holds blood splatter!” [this is important because the claim is that he is reaching into the vehicle through the window to perhaps grab a gun].
Statements from officials today: “Officer Shelby is adamant that we walked up to the vehicle and cleared it, noting that the windows were down before Mr. Crutcher walked up.” See http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/22/betty-shelby-was-justified-in-shooting-terence-crutcher/
‘Crutcher’s arms came down, and he turned to face the car, Wood said, and he reached into the driver’s side window with his left hand. That’s when Shelby fired one shot and a fellow officer, Tyler Turnbough, deployed a Taser, Wood said.” See http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/22/betty-shelby-was-justified-in-shooting-terence-crutcher/
Funny thing, if he had a gun in his hand then why would he reach into a closed or open window to grab a gun. Moreover, if the gun was in the car when he reached then what is up with the picture of the gun some feet away from the suspect. This is bad. Finally, it sure looks like the windows were up. See the blood markings on same.
The officer may have panicked and shot after hearing the taser go. I hope that is not the case, but, I donno, seems probable. More worrisome is whether or not a gun was planted. Again I donno.
All said this had nothing to do with race and everything to do about a charged situation wherein anything that can go wrong will.
Obama’s DOJ is training to walkaway and hope to get away or die and start a Riot
Seems reasonable. Let a jury decide. Cops are supported, they have to choose wisely when life hangs in the balance. Don’t become a cop if you can’t handle the heat.
Why I or people I know never had any problem with Cops?
I always finds cops very friendly and helpful, sometimes helped me out of way. Even when I made wrong turn or jumped light.

BREAKING: Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby charged with 1st degree manslaughter

I can’t imagine that this situation is going to help Mrs. Bill Clinton and the left in the upcoming election, particularly with the white women vote.
Criminal charges???
If she is NOT convicted it will lead to even worse riots.
I am ONLY SPECULATING
But after 10 minutes of pointing her gun at a suspect who was not cooperating, she saw another officer taser him and pulled the trigger by reflex.
I do not think she just decided to kill him, she had a good career from what it looks like. It seems to be a bad shoot, but accident DO HAPPEN.
I wish she would have said “I fired by accidental reflex action after 10 minutes of tense confrontation”
She could have gotten administrative leave and suspension from the force for a little while, possibly to another job.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE REMAINS: IF HE HAD LISTENED TO THE OFFICERS HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE
