Rev. Al Sharpton rallies with hundreds for Terence Crutcher in downtown Tulsa
Before marching almost a mile through downtown Tulsa with about 400 people Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Al Sharpton and other civic leaders urged the crowd to remain peaceful as they seek justice for the police shooting that killed unarmed Terence Crutcher.
Sharpton, religious leaders, members of the Crutcher family and several attorneys spoke at a “National Prayer Call for Justice March” before leading the crowd from the Greenwood Cultural Center, 322 N. Greenwood Ave., to City Hall, 175 E. Second St.
The crowd spanned about a block as people lined up to march behind a banner that featured a photo of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher and read “#Justice4Crutch” and “hands up, don’t shoot.”
Sharpton spoke just before the march began, saying that when he was asked why he was in Tulsa, his response was: “I heard y’all looking for bad dudes.”
