CP3, Pusha T, D-Wade, Mark Ingram, Rashida Jones and More React to Terence Crutcher Murder

Terence Crutcher
Terence Crutcher (Facebook)

According to CNN, Terence Crutcher was “an unarmed black man walks on a Tulsa, Oklahoma, road with his hands in the air. Police officers follow closely behind him as he approaches his vehicle. He stands beside the car, then falls to the ground after one officer pulls the trigger.”

Terence Crutcher is now dead. He was murdered while trying to get help for his broken down car because he ‘looked like a bad dude’. An investigation is currently underway but it has been determined that officer Betty Shelby was the one who took Terence’s life. As it stands, her lawyer is claiming that Crutcher was high on PCP at the time of his arrest but there’s still no reasoning behind why he was killed for being unarmed.

So who was #TerenceCrutcher?#BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/lOQjlJiQZJ

The outrage is everywhere on the television and internet but some have taken to social media to voice their concerns. Most notably, some big name celebrities, musicians and athletes have decided to share some words on what is happening. Another form of social injustice has occurred and people are still worried about Colin Kaepernick sitting or kneeling during the National Anthem.

Here’s some posts and videos shared on different social media platforms from athletes, actors, artists and everyone else in between. Remember his name, Terence Crutcher.

Another Day. Another Hashtag. If You Are Apart Of "They" You're Part Of The Problem. #TerranceCrutcher

Tell me this, how does an unarmed black man whose car is stalled and needs help get shot and killed by police officers, while the NY and NJ bombing suspect who actually shot at police officers gets apprehended and is alive? I guess being black is worse than being a terrorist. Even with your hands up, no gun, and in need of HELP, being black is still a crime. My sincerest condolences to Terence Crutcher's family??

#enoughisenough from @realjohngray – A terrorist in New Jersey bombs New York has a shoot out with cops and gets grazed with a bullet. And safely arrested. A man with car trouble in Tulsa gets TAZED then shot. And then they stand there. Don't offer him aid, comfort, nothing. No gun. No criminal activity. And I've heard people say "he should have complied". As if that has ANYTHING TO DO WITH KILLING AN UNARMED MAN. Stop making excuses. His color got him killed. If that was a well dressed non-black female, do you think the helicopter pilot would have said "she looks like a bad person" in the same manner they said Terrance Crutcher "looks like a bad person"? Of course not. His color was the only thing that made him bad. From 500 feet in the air. I'm tired man. And I'm scared. Cuz I'm big and my skin is brown. Lord don't let my car break down, don't let me be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't let me reach for my phone or do anything threatening. Jesus help THIS NATION.

Watched the video of this MURDER and had to post something. A father of four dies over nothing. Truly tragic. When will this stop.
