HORRIFYING FOOTAGE SHOWS WHITE WOMAN COP SHOOTING DEAD BLACK PASTOR AFTER CAR BROKE DOWN
The fatal shooting by a white police officer of an unarmed black man with his hands raised has been described as "difficult to watch" by the police chief who released footage of the killing.
Pastor Terence Crutcher died in hospital on Friday from a single shot fired by officer Betty Shelby in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
She opened fire after the 40-year-old was initially tasered by another cop on the scene.
In an attempt to appease growing anger in the community, police chief Chuck Jones assured residents justice would be served.
Police, who had been called to his broken down SUV, has initially said Crutcher refused their commands to raise his hands and later reached inside the vehicle.
However, footage shot from a police car as well as a police helicopter shows him with his hands in the air when as he was spoken to by officers.
At one point a policeman is heard saying he had his hands in the air.
"He's got his hands up there for her now," an officer could be heard saying in the video from the helicopter as it hovered overhead.
"Time for a Taser, I think," another officer said as the four officers pointed their weapons toward Cutcher from a few feet away.
"I've got a feeling that's about to happen," the first officer said.
