Yet another group of protesters in another U.S. city is protesting the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of law enforcement.

Terence Crutcher was shot by Tulsa officers last Friday after they responded to a report of a stalled car.

During a press conference Monday, Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan called the video of the shooting "very disturbing" and "difficult to watch."
