Officer Charged

A Tulsa police officer now faces manslaughter charges in the death of an unarmed black man.

Family members of the man killed by police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, say they’re grateful an officer has been charged. Betty Shelby is facing charges of first degree manslaughter after prosecutors say Shelby “acted unreasonably” during last Friday’s encounter. Police video shows 40 year-old Terrence Crutcher had his hands in the air, instead of reaching into his vehicle as police originally said. Shelby has posted bond after turning herself in overnight.
