Summary: On the evening of September 16 in Tulsa, OK, an unarmed black man was fatally shot by police. They were called onto scene because of reports of an abandoned vehicle blocking the road.
Analysis: Here we are once again. Another name that has become a hashtag which will be old news in a few weeks. Racial profiling has once again been the cost of another life. The officer stated that Crutcher was refusing to abide by the law, which is a punishable act, but by death? The officer was acting in self-defense, obviously, but a fatal shot? Why are police not trained to defend themselves with a gun without having to take a life? In the article, one officer stated, "That looks like a bad dude". Until the appearance of a person does not cloud the judgement of them, this cycle will inevitably continue to repeat itself.
