A white former Oklahoma police officer who was acquitted for shooting an unarmed black man will have her first-degree manslaughter case removed from records.
The state may wipe Betty Shelby's record clean but history will remember her murder of #TerenceCrutcher as racist, barbaric and unjust. https://t.co/sz7RFj2myH
Shelby was on patrol last year when she encountered a SUB stopped in the middle of the street owned by Terence Crutcher. She testified that she was scared because Crutcher seemed to be under the influence of drugs, didn’t obey commands.
Prosecutors in the case argued the officer overreacted. The patrol car and helicopter video show Terence Crutcher had his hands in the air.
