DOJ: No civil rights charge in deadly Tulsa police shooting

3. Betty Shelby is still a cop

Disgusting.

"Betty Shelby, a white officer who worked for the Tulsa Police Department at the time, said she shot Terence Crutcher in September 2016 in self-defense because she thought he was reaching into his car for what might have been a weapon. Video of the episode showed Mr. Crutcher holding his hands above his head when he was shot."

...

"Ms. Shelby was found not guilty of manslaughter in connection with Mr. Crutcher’s death in Tulsa County District Court in May 2017. She was placed on paid administrative leave after the shooting and left the Police Department after she was acquitted.

Soon after, she began working as a reserve deputy for the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office, about 30 miles from Tulsa, the sheriff, Scott Walton, said in an interview.

Last week she became a full-time employee stationed at the courthouse, the sheriff said. He said he had “no reservations whatsoever about hiring her.”"
