O

U students have lived through the deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin and many other black people who have been killed by police. Now, they’ve lived through the Monday shooting of Terence Crutcher, a black man from Tulsa — about two hours away from OU’s Norman campus — who was unarmed when shot by Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Shelby. Crutcher ’s death, and the deaths of hundreds of others who have been killed in a manner many deem unjust, have prompted a “Die In” on campus Thursday at noon. A Facebook page for the event instructs participants to wear all black. When she saw the video of Crutcher being shot, Chelsea Davis, a member of Unheard, thought it affirmed everything the Black Lives Matter movement stands for. “(It also affirms) everything that these different activist groups, including Unheard, have been saying for the past two or three years,” she said. “That we have a major, major issue with race.” But Davis said the sadness these tragedies used to bring is not there anymore. “I’m so numb to it,” she said. “For me, it was Tamir Rice. After that, it just … Numbness is what I feel.” W h i l e Dav i s i s nu mb, O U President David Boren said in a statement to The Daily that he is deeply saddened by Crutcher’s death. “I am deeply saddened by what has taken place,” the statement says. “All of us have much more work to do to help create a society where everyone is valued and feels safe.” At least 194 black people have been killed by police in 2016, according to The Guardian’s database of police killings, The Counted. And while The Counted shows that at least 387 white people have been killed by police this year, it also reports that black people have a much higher likelihood of being killed by police than white people. “To me, this is kind of an expression of the innate kind of racism that already exists in this

country in the first place,” said John Carl, an OU professor of criminology. Oklahoma also ranks seventh in the country in civilian deaths by police per capita, The Counted reports. But George Henderson, the founder of OU’s human relations department and the first black man to purchase a home in Norman, told The Daily that no matter the location of a death, the impact felt is the same.

“We have a black chief of police here in Norman, and we still have these issues. We have a black president, and we still have these issues. I don’t know that us being in positions of power in the system are going to change anything, because the system is not designed for us.” CHELSEA DAVIS, MEMBER OF UNHEARD

“Whether you’re near or far, a human life is being taken,” Henderson said. “Distance has nothing to do with my emotions.” Henderson also presented a written statement to The Daily, in which he wrote that his “heart cries out in sympathy for Mr. Crutcher’s family” and that “this human relations nightmare must be brought to an end by any just actions possible.” Davis said she does not know a solution. “We have a black chief of police here in Norman, and we still have these issues. We have a black president, and we still have these issues. I don’t know that us being in positions of power in the system are going to change anything because the system is not designed for us,” she said. “It was designed to oppress us as a people.” Keith Humphrey is the Norman police chief, and he said he watched the videos of Crutcher’s shooting. A black man himself, Humphrey said he understands

both sides of the issue. “I think that any time there’s an incident where it appears a person does not have a weapon, and it seems a person is in a complying technique, it’s going to bring questions,” he said. “It looks bad. It looks as though this gentleman was complying, it looked like he had his hands up … You didn’t see his hands from the officer’s perspective, you didn’t hear what he said to the officers … But I think that the nation is going to be focused on the fact that he appeared to be compliant and had his hands up and did not have a weapon,” Humphrey said. In the audio of the helicopter video angle, a man can be heard saying that Crutcher “looks like a bad dude” and “could be on something.” Henderson said he thinks the man said that because Crutcher was a black man with his hands up. “ T h i s i s n o t a m o v i e ,” Henderson said. “You don’t even know this man and you’re saying he’s a bad dude. What’s a bad dude look like? This is a man with his hands in the air, how bad can that be?” Henderson has fought the human relations fight for decades, and said through it all, he has not lost his faith in humanity — and that the day he does, he will die. “I will die emotionally, and I will stop caring,” he said. “And I will shrivel up as a human being and be dead. If not in reality, in mind and spirit, and very quickly, the body will follow.” Andrew Clark

Fraternity under review for asking Trump protesters to leave property

NOOR EEMAAN/THE DAILY

Students attend the Multicultural Center for the Advancement of Students event discussing the #yOUrbad hashtag and the reasons it resonated with the OU community on Tuesday in Zarrow Hall. The organization has monthly discussions.

Center hosts discussions to encourage inclusivity Monthly gathering intends to improve campus community DAISY CREAGER @daisycreager

A department of the OU College of Arts and Sciences held a meeting with students Tuesday to broach #yOUrbad and gauge how comfortable its students feel in classes. The Multicultural Center for the Advancement of Students holds monthly discussions and wanted to use this one to openly discuss the hashtag, said Paola Lopez, the director of student development and community for the college. The hashtag #yOUrbad, as well as a @yOUrbad account, popped up on Twitter Sept. 5, four days after OU received an award for its efforts to improve diversity and inclusion on campus. The students tweeting from the account encouraged students, faculty and staff to share stories about feeling uncomfortable or discriminated against on campus using the hashtag or anonymously. The discussion, which about 15 people attended, focused on the #yOUrbad movement and persistent

concerns that were expressed with the hashtag. It was led by Lopez and student assistant T’ata Roberts. The discussion started with an icebreaker where students were given slips of paper with categories of people, such as “white males,” “AfricanAmericans” and “U.S. citizen,” and asked to put them in order of most privileged. Students had trouble, saying some of the categories overlapped and affected people differently. Lopez said the activity was meant to remind the students that people are not limited to one characteristic but are multifaceted.

“I learned so much about some of the specific struggles that students have maybe that are a little bit overlooked and that was really valuable.” EMILY MEE, POLITICAL SCIENCE SOPHOMORE

“We have to check boxes but don’t fit in a box. ... We don’t just count as one version of ourselves,” Lopez said. Lopez then scrolled through the @yOUrbad Twitter account, showing it

to those present while Angie Tran, a sociology senior who co-created the account with Emily Pham, management information systems senior, explained that they made it because they felt OU did not live up to the award it received Sept. 1. Some students discussed their experiences on campus when they felt their needs were not met and more ways to incorporate diversity training into classes. Emily Mee, political science sophomore, who is also a member of the Student Government Association, said she attended the discussion due to a push by SGA for its members to participate in community events. “I learned so much about some of the specific struggles that students have maybe that are a little bit overlooked and not talked about, and that was really valuable,” Mee said. She said she loves the round table format and feels that it encourages people to voice opinions. “I’ve never been to a meeting like that before,” Mee said. Tran said she wished more students would have attended. “I think the College of Arts and Sciences really cares about its students,” Tran said. The Multicultural Center

Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity is currently reviewing allegations that members of its OU chapter interacted with protesters at a rally against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Trump came to Norman Saturday for a campaign fundraiser. During the fundraiser, hundreds protested the presidential candidate near the home of Hunter and Kathy Miller, where the fundraiser took place. Jacy Santana Chapman, who was present at the protest, took a video showing members of the fraternity asking protesters to leave their property. The video has been shared more than 50 times. A Norman police officer eventually arrived at the scene, and after the dispute, the protesters left the fraternity property. Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity said in a press release that the organization was “founded on the principles of Friendship, Sound Learning, and Rectitude,” and that “any behavior that contradicts the spirit of inclusion and sensitivity to multicultural issues would be in violation of these principles.” The Daily contacted Phi Delta Theta via its OU chapter website at 2:15 p.m. Monday and did not receive a response.

Hands-on weather, science museum to open in Norman at end of month A local weather organization will open a new museum in Norman at the end of the month. The National Weather Museum & Science Center’s new museum, an 8,000-square-foot facility that houses a Doppler research radar, old weather instruments, a car damaged in a local tornado, interactive tornado models and other weather artifacts, will open Sept. 29, executive director Doug Forsyth said. “You’re looking at weather radar, weather forecasting — a hands-on look at severe weather,” Forsyth said. The National Weather Museum & Science Center is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007. Though it only recently became a reality, Forsyth said he conceived the idea for the new museum in the ‘90s. “It’s something I’ve been spearheading for many years,” Forsyth said. “It’s just kind of something that’s come together over the past year.” This museum is the second step in a three-phase program for the National Weather Museum & Science Center, Forsyth said. The first step was to establish a traveling museum, which has housed the center’s displays since 2013. The third phase, which won’t be ready for several years, involves building a larger museum facility in Norman, Forsyth said. This establishment will be a 125,000-squarefoot facility that is estimated to cost $70 million, Forsyth said. Emma Keith, @shakeitha_97

Sooners’ Parker waiting for justice Tulsa native has watched shooting video repeatedly SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Steven Parker is angry. He’s angry that another unarmed black man has been killed by the police. He’s angry that he’s had to see this play out too many times before and that justice hasn’t been served — that nothing has changed. “I’ve seen the video thousands of times. It has me angry to the point where it’s like ‘what do we do?’” Parker asked Wednesday, frustration dripping from every word. “Because this is something that’s been a problem for a long time and it keeps on happening … I’m at a loss for words.” The shooting of Terence Crutcher in Parker’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, took place Friday just before the Sooners’ eventual loss to Ohio State. By Monday, when a pair of videos partially showed Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Shelby using her firearm as Crutcher approached his car, his death was national news. “I just watched (the video) the first time, and then I felt like I didn’t see that right,” said Parker, the Sooners’ junior safety. “Like ‘this really happened again.’ It’s one of those things where you just watch it back over and over and over again, and each and every time it has you more

TYLER WOODWARD/THE DAILY

Junior safety Steven Parker celebrates after breaking up a pass at NRG Stadium on Sept. 3. Parker, a Tulsa native, is angered by the shooting of Terence Crutcher and says the conversations he’s had with his teammates about recent police violence on African-American citizens has revolved around staying out of those situations altogether.

angry than the time before.” It caught the eye of others on OU’s football team, too. “I was talking to my mom last night, and she even said that’s a little too close to home for her comfort,” Norman native Jordan Evans said. For Parker, it’s less about it being “too close to home” and more about society’s unwillingness to change its position on these issues.

“There’s nothing you can do if a cop just shoots you for having your hands up. That’s wrong on them. That’s the part that has me angry.” STEVEN PARKER, SAFETY

“It still angers you when it happens miles away, but when it’s here and it happens in your own backyard … it’s crazy,” Parker said. Crutcher was shot just a

few miles north of where the Tulsa Race Riots occurred in 1921. And while there’s certainly been progress in the last 95 years, it’s not enough. According to Parker, the

conversation among the team about recent police violence on black people has revolved around staying out of those situations altogether. “We just basically said, ‘what we can do as AfricanAmerican players, or African-American people as a whole, what can we do (to) limit ourselves in those situations?’” Parker said. “One of those being don’t resist arrest, don’t run from the cops

or anything like that. The other thing is, just put your hands up. Don’t even give them a reason to do it.” But Parker recognizes that even those solutions aren’t 100 percent successful. “There’s nothing you can do if a cop just shoots you for having your hands up,” Parker said. “That’s wrong on them. That’s the part that has me angry.” Parker said he hopes to see justice for Terence Crutcher and others from around the country. He brought up Colin Kaepernick as someone who’s beginning to take a stand on these issues with actions like taking a knee during the national anthem. And while college football players aren’t on the field for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Parker says he would still stand for the anthem because he’s had family members in the military. Still, he questions those who attack Kaepernick for asserting his opinion. “Justice hasn’t really been served,” Parker said. “Nothing has changed as far as how society is feeling about this. With Colin Kaepernick, why does everyone comment and everyone hate that he’s doing that but yet, what he’s said, it’s true. And then, on top of that, why does everyone make excuses about another AfricanAmerican being shot? To me, it just raises eyebrows. “It’s just a situation that needs to be fixed.” Spenser Davis

Sooners looking for the right combo on offense Mixon, Perine splitting carries in a crowded backfield SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Oklahoma’s first three games have yielded more questions than answers as the Sooners (1-2) are off to their worst start since 2005. One major question has emerged: Who is Oklahoma’s best running back? Junior Samaje Perine entered the year roughly 1,000 yards away from the school’s all-time rushing record. But through three games, Perine — who is recovering from offseason ankle surgery — has looked inferior to sophomore Joe Mixon. Mixon has totaled 330 more all-purpose yards than Perine. And while some of that is inflated by Mixon’s role as kick returner, the sophomore is averaging 8.1 yards per rush to Perine’s 4.5 so far. Perine’s yardage is down

compared to previous seasons, too. He averaged 6.5 yards per rush as a freshman and 6.0 yards per carry as a sophomore. But offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley says he’s not worried about the dip in production. “He’s always been a second half guy,” Riley said. “Second half of the season, second half of games, getting settled in, and you’re talking about a guy that came off a major, major surgery. It is what it is. I think he’s extremely close. I think he’s taking big steps each week. He did some really nice things the other night (against Ohio State). He’s not far off from really taking off again.” If Perine doesn’t return to his normal form, Mixon could be in line for more touches. Mixon totaled 8.5 yards per touch against an Ohio State defense that was mostly dominant against the Sooners. Without Mixon’s contributions on the ground, O U av e ra g e d 3 . 8 y a rd s per attempt — and that

stat is inflated with Dede Westbrook’s 35-yard gain on a fake double reverse. But don’t expect to see any sort of a running back competition in Norman anytime soon. Riley says he’ll continue to use both as offensive weapons. “They both have a good amount of versatility, and I think both of them are even more versatile than they were a year ago,” Riley said. “I think Joe is able to do more of the offense. Samaje has become better and better in the receiving game and pass protection game. Their unselfishness makes it a hell of a lot easier on me.” With the Sooners’ slow start, Riley said both will be necessary to turning things around in Big 12 play. “They just both realize they can help each other, and they can both help us win and shoot. We need them both at a high level to play the way we want to,” Riley said. Spenser Davis

New film explores sexual assault

Documentary will highlight stories of two teenage girls ALLISON WEINTRAUB @AllieFrances12

Netflix’s newest original documentary, “Audrie & Daisy�, will shine a light on the role of social media in the lives of young sexual assault survivors. The documentary will be released on Netflix this Friday and focuses on two high school sexual assault cases that began in 2012: those of Audrie Pott, from Saratoga, California, and Daisy Coleman, from Maryville, Missouri. Pott, 15, was sexually assaulted at a party. Her assailants took her to the bathroom, drew on her with Sharpie marker and sexually assaulted her. Pictures of the incident circulated Pott’s high school, and her peers began to bully her. About a week after the photos went around, Pott committed suicide. Coleman was 14 years old when she was invited to a party where she was offered alcohol. A boy named Matthew Barnett

sexually assaulted Coleman while she was drunk. Unfortunately for Coleman, Barnett was the grandson of a state representative. Coleman’s mother lost her job after asking questions, and the Coleman family home was burned to the ground soon after. In both cases, the abusers received minimal punishment. Of the three boys that were involved in Pott’s case, two of the assailants had to publicly apologize; admit to the assault and their role in Pott’s death; agree to be filmed for the documentary; pay a total of $950,000; support a petition to give Pott an honorary diploma and give 10 presentations on sexual

assault. The charges against Barnett were dropped. Kathy Fahl, director of OU’s Gender + Equality Center, said the under sentencing of sexual assault aggressors has an impact on most people. “I think it also hurts victims — like, ‘Why would I go through that and come forward? My (aggressor) is only going to get three months, six months probation,’� Fahl said. “Unfortunately, that helps to perpetuate the crime because there’s no consequence for the perpetrator, so they can continue doing what they’re doing.� The best way to get involved in the prevention of sexual assaults at OU,

besides undergoing One Sooner training and becoming a peer educator, is to speak out when you see something, Fahl said. “We really emphasize stepping in on the conversations that happen on campus around these topics,� she said. “I believe that the majority of people are supportive and don’t want this to happen to anybody else, but they often feel like they’re alone in that. So if we can speak up — more people, more voices — we’ll amplify that issue.� Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, “Audrie & Daisy� filmmakers, told Newsweek they’re currently working on creating curriculum and discussion guides for middle schools and high schools to use as educational tools when showing the film to their students. “We have a lot of hope that this is kind of a tipping point and the film can help really drive the conversations that need to start happening,� Cohen said in the interview. Suzy Weller, acting senior, said sometimes the discussion on campus can be stifling. “I think on a university level, it feels sometimes that we talk about it too much,

In addition to the acquisition announcement, the event will include a variety show featuring five performances, a recognition of the museum’s oldest members and a silent auction on various packages, including works of art by local artists, according to a press release from the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. “One of those works of art is going to be a live painting that will happen at the event,� Farling said. “We’re excited about that.� Hors d’oeuvres will be served from local restaurant Benvenuti’s, according to the press release. People should come to the Silver Soiree because it’s a great way to support the museum and to meet and mingle with other museum supporters, Farling

but I know that’s not true, because on a professional level I just think it’s not nearly as talked about as it should be,� Weller said. “And the fact that, when someone does talk about it, there’s always someone who immediately discredits it or gets annoyed by it to that degree means we’re not talking about it enough.� We l l e r a l s o b e l i e v e s it’s important that sexual assault survivors find a community. “I think that’s how you find other people who’ve shared the same thing as you, and I think that’s how you feel normal again,� Weller said. “Which is everything if you’re a survivor of sexual assault or any kind of assault. It can be hard to make that first step, but it shouldn’t be rushed.�

Our View: BLACK LIVES MATTER

SUE OGROCKI/AP PHOTO

Marq Lewis, right, of We The People Oklahoma, stresses that the “protest for justice” over Friday’s shooting death of Terence Crutcher, sponsored by We the People Oklahoma, will remain peaceful, in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD

We talk about progress, and we talk about healing. We talk about diversity and inclusion, but we also have to talk about the ugly thing going on in this country — the killing of unarmed black people by police. Trayvon Martin, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Tamir Rice and hundreds of others — some whose names turned t o h a s h t a g s, a n d s o m e whose names will remain unknown. Now, in our ver y own

backyard, Tulsa’s Terence Crutcher has been added to the list, two years after the Tulsa community was brought to its knees by the shooting of Eric Harris. Tulsa — just two hours nor theast and home to more than 2,700 students at OU’s Norman campus — is now in the spotlight as Crutcher was the 183rd black man to be killed by police in 2016. On Sept. 16, Crutcher — a 40-year-old father and Tulsa Community College student — stopped his car in the middle of the road.

He was having car trouble. Police, on their way to another call, arrived at the scene, where Crutcher was outside his car. In graphic footage from a police helicopter that was reportedly flying over and filming by happenstance, one man in the helicopter said Crutcher “looks like a bad dude.” From hundreds of feet away, from the sky, he looks like a bad dude? Walking to his vehicle with his hands up, he looks like a bad dude? Ly i n g o n t h e g r o u n d

bleeding, does he still look like a bad dude? In the photos his family has to remember him by, does he still look like a bad dude? We’ve heard a million excuses for the officer who shot Terence Crutcher — he wasn’t obeying orders, he was on drugs, he was reaching into his car, he was patting his leg. We don’t want to hear excuses. Terence Crutcher didn’t deser ve to die. There’s no reason he was shot — he was racially profiled and killed, and there’s

no excuse. We’ re sa d , a n d w e’ re angry. We know and wholeheartedly believe that black lives matter. So when will we stop hearing about black lives being ended at the hands of police? When will officers who unnecessarily use lethal force be held accountable? One of the first steps to accountability is a pretty easy one: police need to wear body cameras, and those cameras should turn on whenever officers step out of their vehicles. It’s altogether disgusting

bu t l e s s t ha n s h o ck i ng that none of the officers on the scene with Terence Crutcher were even wearing body cameras. N o, Tu l s a p o l i c e a r e still waiting to use their $600,000 cash-match grant specifically for purchasing body cameras. Law enforcement, wake up and say it with us : Accountability matters. T ra n s p a re n c y mat t e r s. Justice matters. Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Black lives matter.

Hashtag trends not enough to serve justice care. And a hashtag followed by a different name every week won’t make them care. Terence Crutcher, unarmed and seeking vehicle assistance, was surrounded by at least four police officers before he was shot. He was Destiny Guerrero dguerrer@ou.edu left to bleed out and die.

like shadows? I don’t have an answer, but I do know that the answer involves action. Action means taking a stand and putting your own face out there, publicly aligning yourself with a cause. Terence Crutcher was murdered in Tulsa. That’s a lot closer to home than Baton Rouge, Louisiana or Minnesota. That’s a two-hour drive from here. Maybe our action could be as nonviolent as a petition to call for all police in the state of Oklahoma to undergo more effective de-escalation training. So students of OU: What are we going to do? Look down at our phones and tweet about it? Not say anything for fear of possibly being wrong? To be honest, I’m tired. I’m tired of sitting down when people are murdered. I’m tired of being told, “I don’t care.” Because we should. We should all care. And if you don’t, then perhaps you should consider whether you are a part of the problem.

Members of the OU community participate in a moment of silence during the Take Back the Night event in the Unity Garden on Tuesday. The event was sponsored by the Gender + Equality Center to raise awareness about campus sexual assault.

Event raises voices for survivors OU community speaks out against sexual violence ANNA BAUMAN @annabauman2

The OU Gender + Equality Center hosted its annual Take Back the Night e v e nt Tu e s d ay t o ra i s e awareness about sexual assault. The gathering began at 7 p.m. with a keynote speech by Carl Pendleton, a Norman police officer and OU alumnus, followed by a march through campus and

Campus Corner. Pendleton’s speech dealt with personal experience with sexual assault and his concern about the prominent issue. “Our community is extremely broken,” Pendleton said in his speech. “There are so many little boys and little girls who are afraid to speak up.” Pendleton said his role as a police officer gives him a unique ability to help end sexual violence and domestic abuse, both of which are issues on which he educates people. In his speech, he stressed his commitment to and support for

victims of sexual abuse. “I refuse to let people suffer in silence,” Pendleton said. “For those of you who have gone through something like this, don’t think you have to do this alone. You don’t have to be silent. You don’t have to hide.

“There are so many little boys and little girls who are afraid to speak up.” CARL PENDLETON, NORMAN POLICE OFFICER AND OU ALUMNUS

happy with how the event went. “I was worried when the megaphone wasn’t working that I would be the only person chanting,” Allred said. “But this group was really powerful, and I really felt like we were all united and meaning the things that we were chanting. Pretty much immediately when we started chanting, all of my fears about that went away.” Allred said she thinks Take Back the Night is important in creating a supp or tive atmosphere on OU’s campus. “I think that OU, like all college campuses, has a

really serious problem with sexual assault,” Allred said. “I think the most important thing is that as long as sexual assaults continue to happen on OU’s campus, there continues to be a community that will support them, that has resources for them, that will speak for them when they don’t have a voice to tell their own story, that isn’t going to just sit down and be quiet about sexual assault, that is going to shatter the silence.” Anna Bauman
