She encountered Crutcher again while checking on an abandoned vehicle. Mumbling, Crutcher approached the lone officer with his hands in his pockets and Shelby's mind raced to the conclusion that he was armed, she recalled. He approached her and refused to comply with her commands to stand down at gunpoint, she said. |
She denied that her drastic decision to open fire was racially motivated. |
"Race had nothing to do with my decision making," Shelby said. |
An autopsy later showed Crutcher had PCP in his system. |
"I have sorrow that this happened that this man lost his life but he caused the situation to occur. So in the end, he caused his own," she added. |
"He caused his death?" Whitaker asked. |
She contends that Crutcher reached for what she believed was a weapon stashed in the car the moment she pulled the trigger. |
The shooting was witnessed by Shelby's husband, working as a spotter in the helicopter above. The pilot can be heard in police footage describing Crutcher as "a bad dude." |
Crutcher's sister, Tiffany Crutcher, maintains that authorities did nothing to help her brother as he laid on the pavement, bleeding. She likened his death to other recent victims of police-involved shootings. |
"I saw Trayvon Martin. I saw Mike Brown. I saw Philando Castile. You know, I saw Tamir Rice," Crutcher's sister told "60 Minutes." "But never in a thousand years would my family, would we have thought that we would be on their side of it. And my brother now, according to social media, is another hashtag." |

What college football coaches are attending the 2019 NFL Draft? |
The NFL draft is rapidly approaching on the football offseason calendar. The time when college football fans and NFL fans can come together in one single football event is always a fun time of the year for a variety of reasons. For college football fans, the bragging rights about having more players drafted than your r... |
This year, as is typically the case, a handful of coaches from the college game will be heading to the draft to send off some of their most recent success stories. Among those attending the event this year in Nashville will be some familiar faces. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and Alabama head coach Nick Saban will b... |
Although not a head coach, Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson will also reportedly be in attendance. |
These are coaches of schools that are either well-represented at the NFL Draft on a regular basis and/or have some key players who may be going in the first round. Unfortunately, the NFL Draft being held in Nashville will not include either head coach from Tennessee or Vanderbilt unless there is a change in the plans. |
For those keeping score at home, and there is unquestionably at least one of you doing so, that is five coaches from the SEC, three from the ACC, and one each from the Big Ten the Big 12. |
The 2019 NFL Draft will run from April 25-27. The Arizona Cardinals currently own the top pick, which could end up being used for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma, Kyler Murray. |
LOS ANGELES — DirecTV, Amazon Studios and Hulu were among the digital networks that trotted out their upcoming shows for TV critics on Digital Day during the Television Critics Association press tour. |
Actors Nick Jonas, Jonathan Tucker, and Matt Lauria speak during a panel on the TV show Kingdom at the 2014 TCA Press Tour. |
DirecTV kicked off the day with its new drama Kingdom, a story about family, loyalty, ambition, glory, lust, betrayal and the needs and desires that inspire people to greatness — or drive them to treachery. The series takes place in Venice, California, and is set against the backdrop of Mixed Martial Arts. Creator-writ... |
Saturday's panel emphasized that Kingdom's focus is more on family drama than fighting. Balasco said every fight relates to the emotional story in each episode. Grillo, Tucker, Jonas and Lauria all trained at an MMA boot camp, maintaining a rigorous gym schedule to do the fight scenes. All the actors have resisted usin... |
Transparent is Amazon Studios’ most eagerly anticipated series due to its timely subject matter: The dramedy follows a man (Jeffrey Tambor) named Mort who announces his intention to transition into a woman and the effect his decision has on his family, including his three children. Creator Jill Soloway (Six Feet Under)... |
"It was one of those ideas that just came to me fully formed," Soloway said. "I love, sort of, subverting the trope, the Disney trope of a parent who dies in the first five minutes and ... I just had the thought of what would happen if a parent died because a new parent was born, what it would mean to mourn a parent wh... |
Both Soloway and the cast — Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass play the three children — praised Amazon Studios for trusting Transparent's creators, and allowing them to make the show they wanted to make. Soloway said she was happy that the decision to move forward with Transparent depended on public opinion,... |

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who were on a surprise panel, said they envied the Hulu playe... |
In terms of new shows, comedy The Hotwives of Orlando is noteworthy.

If you didn't know better, you might think that your keys have a mind of their own. How else would they wind up sandwiched between your couches' cushions half the time when you swore you left them on the counter? |
Thankfully, the team over at KeySmart has taken measures to prevent such predicaments by upgrading its popular key organizer with Tile™ Smart Location technology that traces your keys' every move. With the integration of this tracking device on top of its standard handy features, the KeySmart Pro can easily replace all... |
On the occasion that your keys wander off (again), simply use the KeySmart Pro app to find them on a map or make them ring so you can track them down. The tracker device also works in reverse so you can ring your phone when you can't find it, even if it's on silent mode. When the KeySmart Pro begins to lose its charge,... |
With all that technology packed into one device, you might believe that KeySmart's other features have been sacrificed to make room. Au contraire: It's got an LED light, a bottle opener, and a place to secure your car key fob conveniently built into its stainless steel design, plus a storage sleeve that holds up to ten... |
For a limited time, the KeySmart Pro with Tile™ Smart Location is available in the Mashable Shop. |
Beijing: A Chinese state-owned newspaper said on Monday that "war is inevitable" between China and the United States over the South China Sea unless Washington stops demanding Beijing halt the building of artificial islands in the disputed waterway. |
The Global Times, an influential nationalist tabloid owned by the ruling Communist Party's official newspaper the People's Daily, said in an editorial that China was determined to finish its construction work, calling it the country's "most important bottom line". |
The editorial comes amid rising tensions over China's land reclamation in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea. China last week said it was "strongly dissatisfied" after a US spy plane flew over areas near the reefs, with both sides accusing each other of stoking instability. |
China should "carefully prepare" for the possibility of a conflict with the United States, the newspaper said. |
"If the United States' bottomline is that China has to halt its activities, then a US-China war is inevitable in the South China Sea," the newspaper said. "The intensity of the conflict will be higher than what people usually think of as 'friction'." |
Such commentaries are not official policy statements, but are sometimes read as a reflection of government thinking. The Global Times is among China's most nationalist newspapers. |
China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $US5 trillion ($6.39 trillion) in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims. |
The United States has routinely called on all claimants to halt reclamation in the Spratlys, but accuses China of carrying out work on a scale that far outstrips any other country. |
Washington has also vowed to keep up air and sea patrols in the South China Sea amid concerns among security experts that China might impose air and sea restrictions in the Spratlys once it completes work on its seven artificial islands. |
China has said it had every right to set up an Air Defence Identification Zone in the South China Sea but that current conditions did not warrant one. |
The Global Times said "risks are still under control" if Washington takes into account China's peaceful rise. |
"We do not want a military conflict with the United States, but if it were to come, we have to accept it," the newspaper said. |
NBC, Fox and CBS have extended their NFL TV rights through 2022 in a deal that calls for NBC to receive a Thanksgiving game and for the league to move NFC games between Fox and CBS. Each of the networks will air three Super Bowl games. |
The deals could be a windfall for players: A person close to the NFL Players Association said they will receive 55 percent of the revenues from the agreements with each network, which could amount to more than $700 million a year, under their agreement with owners earlier this year. |
Fox, the current home of the NFC regular-season package, will receive postseason rights to NFC Wild Card games, divisional playoff games, and the NFC Championship game. |
NBC also received Spanish language rights allowing games to be shown on Telemundo, mun2 or with an SAP feed. It will exchange one of its Wild Card games for a Divisional playoff game. The Thanksgiving game will begin airing in 2012. |
CBS will remain the home of the AFC, and will also gain NFC games thanks to expanded "flexible scheduling." This will be the first time CBS will broadcast AFC and NFC games in the same season. |
Details of the flex scheduling agreement were not immediately released. The agreement gives the NFL the limited ability to move games between Fox and CBS to bring regional games to the largest possible audience. |
All three networks also received "TV Everywhere" rights allowing them to offer their broadcast games online, on tablets and through other digital platforms, but not on mobile phones. |
The deal gives Fox the 2014, 2017, and 2020 Super Bowls; NBC the 2015, 2018 and 2021 Super Bowls; and CBS the 2016, 2019 and 2022 Super Bowls. NBC has the rights to the 2012 and CBS rights to the 2013 Super Bowl under their current agreements with the NFL. |
ESPN announced in September an extension to keep airing "Monday Night Football" through 2021. |
Now, a new study published today in another of the Nature family of journals—Nature Medicine—tips the balance back toward “yes.” In light of the new study, “I would say that there is an overwhelming case for the neurogenesis throughout life in humans,” Jonas Frisén, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, sa... |
For decades, some researchers have thought that the brain circuits of primates—including humans—would be too disrupted by the growth of substantial numbers of new neurons. Alvarez-Buylla says he thinks the scientific debate over the existence of neurogenesis should continue. “Basic knowledge is fundamental. Just knowin... |

Jules Schelvis, who wrote a renowned work on the Nazi concentration camp, was deported to Sobibor from the Netherlands in June 1943. |
One of the last living survivors of the Nazi concentration camp Sobibor in Poland, Jules Schelvis, has died at the age of 95, the Sobibor Foundation said Monday. |
The Dutch national, who died on Sunday, was the author of several books, including an internationally renowned work on the Sobibor camp. |
Schelvis, who himself later established the Sobibor Foundation, was deported from the Netherlands in June 1943 to the Nazi concentration camp at the Ukraine border in occupied Poland, where an estimated 170,000 people, mostly Jews, were killed during World War II. |
Angel investing in the US this year looks like it’s falling back towards 2011 levels, after a record 2012. Meanwhile, there are more Series A rounds than ever, based on our latest CrunchBase data. The much-feared “Series A Crunch” has yet to materialize. |
Early-stage founders and investors have been mulling the possibility of a flood of new angel investor money overwhelming the venture industry’s ability to fund all worthy young startups. But here’s what we’re seeing. |
In the first three quarters of 2013, the enormous annual growth of Angel investments has been falling, especially in relation to first venture rounds. From the period of 2007-2012, the number of Angel investments grew by almost 6x, while Series A rounds only grew by about 1.6x. However, according to our dataset the tot... |
In total dollar terms, the trend reversal is equally striking. In the first three quarters of 2013, Series A rounds have amassed $5.43B, nearly surpassing the 2012 total of $5.96B while year to date Angel investments of $545M are well under the $707M total of last year. |
At this point, we’ll pause to note the various caveats with early-stage funding data. Not all early-stage funding data shows up here immediately, because financing mechanisms like convertible notes let startups legally delay announcing the money until they raise a venture round. Some seed and angel rounds have also got... |
This said, our data is based on a composite of data provided by companies and investors, cross-referenced with public filings and news reporting. We believe it’s the most accurate public data set out there. |
So what’s happening with angels? We can speculate that they’ve been scared off by a Series A Crunch concerns, or anything else. But instead how about you take a look for yourself using our latest data set — download the September 2013 Data Export and let us know what you find. |
A split has emerged between the UK’s financial watchdog and global standard-setters over how to deal with runs on open-ended funds, an issue at the forefront of policy makers’ minds in the wake of the Brexit referendum when several funds had to temporarily shut out investors from their cash. |
The Financial Conduct Authority pushed back against recent international proposals to give authorities around the world a “power of direction” over funds in exceptional circumstances, forcing them stop redemptions. |
The FCA already has such a power but decided against deploying it in June, when seven open-ended property funds, which allow investors daily access to their cash, had to close temporarily following the Brexit vote. Those closures sparked a wider review of the structure of open-ended funds by the FCA. |
The FSB is chaired by Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England. |
A direction by a regulator to suspend some or all funds investing in a particular asset class might, however, send a signal that investors should not have confidence in that entire asset class and not just specific funds. This would risk causing the very run on funds the intervention was intended to prevent. |
We want to engage with fund managers and the investors whose money they manage to understand what problems they think exist. Specifically, in the context of open-ended funds we want people to consider how well the current rules address those problems, and what further regulatory intervention might be needed. |

She further stressed the country’s social situation and “confidence of living in an unjust world” as other reasons. |
Ms. Kharatyan underscored the need to conduct a probe into the reasons behind the occurrences. |
“Armenian Apostolic Church must also address the issue,” she said. |
