Police find PCP inside SUV of unarmed black man who was shot dead with his hands up by a female officer - as his family DENY he posed a threat


A spokesman for the Tulsa, Oklahoma, police department says officers found PCP in the SUV of an unarmed black man who was shot dead by a white female cop last week.
Sgt. Dave Walker told the Tulsa World investigators recovered a vial of the drug in Terence Crutcher's vehicle after he was gunned down by Officer Betty Shelby.
Police say Crutcher, 40, did not have a gun on him or in his vehicle.
Video footage of the shooting also showed him walking toward his SUV with his hands in the air.
Shelby's attorney said Tuesday morning that his client had suspected Crutcher was high and opened fire after he reached through the window, perceiving it as a threat.
But at another press conference, attorneys representing Crutcher's family provided an enlarged photo of the police footage that appeared to show that the victim's window was closed and stained with blood after the shooting.
