Instead of saying we should wait for the facts or something more responsible, Trump says he’s very, very troubled by the fatal police shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa and doesn’t know what the officer was thinking.
And of course he says at a meeting with black pastors:
The police chief said that Crutcher didn’t have a gun and there was no gun in the car. But that doesn’t mean the officers were wrong.
What we do know is that Crutcher repeatedly ignored the commands of the officers, continuing to walk to his vehicle when the officers told him not to. He eventually raised his hands, but then reached into the vehicle.
Honestly, I can totally understand why the officer shot him. They don’t know what he’s reaching for and he clearly was disobeying their commands.
Watch the ABC News report from yesterday morning:
I know Trump is campaigning for president, but dude needs to get more informed on something this big before he weighs in on it. After all, this was known yesterday morning.
Instead, Trump helps push the phony BLM narrative that cops are gunning down unarmed black people by pandering on this issue. Yeah, he was pandering.
Cops need our support more now than ever. They are being targeted all over the place with this phony BLM garbage. The least we can do is wait for the facts to come in before suggesting this cop did something wrong, as he did, especially when it looks preliminarily that her actions were understandable.
