More tensions and protests in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where last Friday, a white police officer shot an unarmed black man named Terence Crutcher. His family says he was waiting for help on the road after his car broke down. The officer`s lawyer says Crutcher was behaving strangely and at one point, he appeared to be reaching into his car for what the officer feared was a weapon. That`s when the officer opened fire.

美国俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨市，形势更加严峻，上周五，一名白人警察枪杀了一位手无寸铁的黑人男子，该名男子叫克拉彻。克拉彻的家人表示，当时车子出了故障，克拉彻正在路边求助。但警方律师表示，克拉彻举止异常，警察担心他似乎要进入车内拿武器。所以，警察才开枪了。

But Tulsa`s police chief later announced Crutcher had no gun, though investigators say they found the drug PCP in Crutcher`s car. A lawyer for the Crutcher family says it`s irrelevant if Crutcher was intoxicated, that police should not have used deadly force.

但是，尽管调查人员表示他们在克拉彻的车内发现了药物PCP，但其车内并没有枪支。克拉彻家人的律师表示，克拉彻当时是否中毒与案件无关，警方不应该枪杀克拉彻。

Crutcher`s father wants the officer charged with murder. State, federal and local authorities are investigating in Tulsa.

克拉彻的父亲控诉警察谋杀。联邦警察以及地方当局正在对此事进行调查。
