Former police officer Betty Shelby is exploiting Terence Crutcher's murder by conducting a speaking tour

After being acquitted of murder, she resigned from the Tulsa Police Department.

Now, two years removed from stealing an innocent black man’s life, she’s chosen to exploit his death by conducting a speaking tour in which she discusses “Surviving the Aftermath of a Critical Incident” since “How to Get Away with Murder” was already taken.

Former police officer Betty Shelby shot and killed 40-year-old Terence Crutcher nearly two years ago. She is now touring the country speaking on the topic “Surviving the Aftermath of a Critical Incident.” Shelby has an engagement scheduled in  Baton Rouge, Louisiana next week. The The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund is calling for the engagement to be canceled.

The NAACP wrote in a letter to the Southeastern Homicide Investigators Association, to allow her to “share with a national audience of law enforcement personnel how Deputy Shelby ‘survived; the consequences of a homicide that she committed is inconsistent with the purported work of SEHIA members pursuing justice for homicide victims and their families. Deputy Shelby is not a victim of Mr. Crutcher’s homicide. The late Mr. Crutcher and his survivors are the victims. Deputy Shelby’s subsequent acquittal on manslaughter charges is not an exoneration of her decision to kill an unarmed man that day, as the comments of the jurors following her trial make clear.”

The Southeastern Homicide Investigators Association has not responded.

How sad that she is able to tour the country about “surviving” when she killed an unarmed man.
