Video: Police Interrogated, Threatened to Jail John Crawford's Girlfriend After Killing 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Video published by The Guardian shows that after the shooting of John
Crawford in Ohio, police aggressively questioned Crawford’s
girlfriend, who was in the store with him. As Tasha Thomas sobbed,
police accused her of lying and threatened to jail her.

Police officer: "I want to be very clear, OK? That man had a weapon at
some point, I understand, OK? That man produced that weapon. That man
had the weapon when you picked him up. He had it in your car or
something. You understand that we're investigating a serious incident,
you lied to me, and you might be on your way to jail."

Police questioned Thomas for more than an hour and a half before telling
her that her boyfriend was dead.
