The latest videotaped police killing of an unarmed black American occurred in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Friday, when officer Betty Shelby shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher after his SUV broke down. Meanwhile, the Crutcher family is left to protest and grieve over the latest example of anti-black violence by law enforcement. But the responsibility for addressing Crutcher's death and preventing future such deaths lies as much with the citizens actively protesting the injustice as it does with the politicians currently in and running for office. Fatigue over the very idea of racial justice continues to haunt the American soul. One where a president, irrespective of color, prioritizes the lives of black people and ensures no more Terence Crutchers are shot down in the street for breathing while black in America.
