Police helicopter footage shows the shooting of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher and its aftermath, including a man heard saying ‘that looks like a bad dude’

An unarmed black man killed by a white Oklahoma police officer can be seen on video walking away from officers and toward his SUV with his hands up before he approaches the driver’s side door, where he drops to the ground after being shocked with a stun gun and then fatally shot.

In Tulsa, the police helicopter footage was among several clips released on Monday showing the shooting of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher and its aftermath. A man in the helicopter that arrives above the scene as Crutcher walks to the vehicle can be heard saying: “Time for a Taser.” He then says: “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.”

Police chief Chuck Jordan announced before the video and audio recordings were released that Crutcher had no weapon on him or in his vehicle when he was shot on Friday. It’s not clear from the footage what led Betty Shelby, the officer who fired the fatal shot, to draw her gun or what orders officers might have given Crutcher.

“We will achieve justice in this case,” Jordan said.

Local and federal investigations are working to determine whether criminal charges are warranted in the shooting or if Crutcher’s civil rights were violated.

Crutcher’s twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher, called for charges on Monday.

“The big bad dude was my twin brother. That big bad dude was a father,” she said. “That big bad dude was a son. That big bad dude was enrolled at Tulsa Community College, just wanting to make us proud. That big bad dude loved God. That big bad dude was at church singing with all of his flaws, every week. That big bad dude, that’s who he was.”

About a dozen protesters gathered outside the Tulsa County courthouse on Monday morning, waving signs that read “This stops now” and “Not going, keep protesting.” They also chanted, “Hands up, don’t shoot.” One protester, Tulsa resident Mark Whited, said more needed to be done to “bridge the mistrusts” between communities.

The initial moments of Crutcher’s encounter with police are not shown in the footage. Shelby did not activate her patrol car’s dashcam, said police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie, and the ground-level video released on Monday came from the car of a second officer who arrived at the scene.

Initial police briefings indicated Crutcher was not obeying officers’ commands, but MacKenzie said Monday she didn’t know what Crutcher was doing that prompted police to shoot. Two 911 calls described an SUV that had been abandoned in the middle of the road. One unidentified caller said the driver was acting strangely, adding: “I think he’s smoking something.”

After the shooting, Crutcher could be seen lying on the side of the road, blood pooling around his body, for nearly two minutes before anyone checked on him. When asked why police did not provide immediate assistance once Crutcher was down, MacKenzie said: “I don’t know that we have protocol on how to render aid to people.”

Police say Tulsa officer Betty Shelby fired the fatal shot, while officer Tyler Turnbough used a stun gun on Crutcher. Both officers are white, MacKenzie said Monday. Shelby, who was placed on paid leave, was hired in December 2011, while Turnbough was hired in January 2009, police said.

The shooting comes just four months after former Tulsa County volunteer deputy Robert Bates was sentenced to four years in prison on a second-degree manslaughter conviction in the 2015 death of an unarmed black man. Shelby worked as a Tulsa County sheriff’s deputy for four years before joining the Tulsa police department, officials said.
