Trump: I’m ‘very, very troubled’ by Tulsa shooting

CLEVELAND — Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was “very, very troubled” by last week’s fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a police officer in Tulsa, Okla., calling it a “terrible” situation and suggesting cops should be “more careful” or not be on the force.

But during a question-and-answer session, Trump said he was troubled “in particular” by the Tulsa shooting, in which Terence Crutcher was shot dead by a police officer on the side of the highway. The officer who fired the fatal shots said she believed Crutcher, who was unarmed, was behaving strangely and reaching for a gun, the officer’s attorney said.

“That man was hands up. That man went to the car, hands up. To me, it looked like he did everything you’re supposed to do,” Trump said. “He looked like a really good man.”

hey everybody, let's put a big hate on D.T. for saying a Black man can be a 'really good man.'

"Trump: I’m ‘very, very troubled’"

Yes...yes you are. In all ways that matter. That aside,

No Happy. Lets call Trump on his pandering to leftists and his armchair quarterbacking something he knows nothing about to gain political points off dead minorities.

Trump is just showing that he is no better, no less biased and no brighter than Obama is.....for pontificating on an issue that he knows nothing about and that all of the facts have not been released, much less discovered, yet.  He's just another kneejerk jerk, IOW.

And.... if Crutcher was such a 'really good man', then why did he have PCP in his SUV?
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

Tulsa County DA:Charges of manslaughter in 1st degree will be filed against Officer Betty Shelby

Speaking at an African-American church in Cleveland on Wednesday, Republican presidential nominee Trump raised questions about Crutcher’s death.

“He looked like somebody who was doing what they were asking him to do. And this young officer, I don’t know what she was thinking, I don’t know what she was thinking. It’s very troubling,” Trump said.

I guess you've never heard of Baltimore where 6 police officers were charged with murdering a black man in a police van.  Every single one of them were found either not guilty or weren't tried in the end.  Just because someone is charged doesn't make them guilty.  That's why it's better to keep your mouth shut until all the facts are out.
