Did he have his ID and 9 in the same pocket?


Actually. The dead guy had his pistol out and stuck between his leg and the seat. Which the officer could see and why he kept telling him not to move. But Philando just kept saying "I am getting my license" and reaching towards the gun. This was reported locally but was absolutely ignored by national media. The jury heard it though and found the officer innocent. Go figure.

Not surprised there was more to the story than what the female was claiming happened.

I'm not down with the comply-or-die philosophy but I don't expect every cop I encounter to be unshakable Joe with the patience of Job while I disobey his instructions and fumble around with my gun. Following a cop's commands will keep you alive every time. It's as simple as that.

They're an untouchable bunch now. I'll never understand how or why but know - even though it might be hard to do - to just bend over and take the traffic stop if/when it happens.

Less than an hour after the verdict was read, the St. Anthony Police Department released a statement saying, “the public will be best served if Officer Yanez is no longer a police officer in our city.” The statement said the department will be working to negotiate a separation agreement with Yanez soon.

IDK, man. Some of these incidents are so hard to defend. Fruitvale, Walter Scott in SCe... you name it. The indefensible shoots simply should not be ignored. It has to change.

This is one where the cop is actually 100% at fault. Castille did absolutely nothing wrong. Cop should be in jail and that man's family deserves a lot of money.

Look at all those white idiots. This country could do some great things with forced sterilization.

So are they going to die on those steps if they're not leaving until they get "justice"? Or is that just another empty SJW threat?
