Tulsa officer who killed Terence Crutcher should not be on paid vacation

Another unarmed black man, Terence Crutcher of Tulsa Oklahoma, has been shot dead by police for no reason. 

Four officers appeared on the scene and dashcam video shows Terence with his hands on his head. He did not have a weapon. One officer stunned him, then Officer Shelby shot him. The four officers are within spitting distance of Terence, it is despicable that they shot him when they easily could have just stunned or physically overpowered him another way, especially because he was unarmed and had his hands on his head. 

Terence was pursuing a degree at a local college and his family describes him as a god loving father who sang at church each week. His twin sister, Tiffany, is especially devastated and calling for action. The DOJ and local authorities.

But the officer who shot him, Betty Shelby, is on paid leave. She murdered an unarmed black man when she and three colleagues were close enough to physically overpower him and she gets to have a paid vacation. 

We demand that office Betty Shelby not be paid while she awaits the finding of the DOJ investigation.
Update #17 years ago
Officer Betty Shelby has been charged with manslaughter for the murder of Terence Crutcher. But as far as we know, she still has a job and is on paid leave. Continue sharing the petition to demand she be unpaid during her trial.
