Slippery slope there... she says they had pot in the car. I don't know the exact laws in MN but in most places guns and drugs equal illegal.
I don't know the MN law there either. But I do know with 100% certainly, it is not punishable by death.

And nowhere in my post did I say it was. The topic being discussed was the legality of him carrying a firearm.
I know you're working your angle here but please try to keep up.

I'm sure the NRA is rallying behind him as we speak.

Why does it seem like everyone that gets killed by a cop and then turned into a martyr have a criminal history and/or were doing something illegal? I wish someone would study this and make a correlation, because I just don't understand. There's got to be a connection.

Studies have been done, all were deemed racist

Word to the wise: if a police officer tells you to put your hands up, put your hands up. If he tells you to get down, get down. If he tells you to stop resisting, stop resisting. It's really not all that difficult.

And if he asks you for a copy of your license and registration?

Comply with commands folks, it's not hard.

What I found interesting is BR had a peaceful protest. Everybody was ready for it a riot, the news people were all in place to record it and it did not happen.

The last 36 hours since I was first made aware of what transpired between the BRPD and Alton Sterling has been challenging to say the least. I very rarely post on social media, but to not say something under these circumstances I feel would be irresponsible at best. I've been racially profiled while driving to my office at 7:45am in the morning, stopped, thrown against a squad car (because I demanded I be told what I did wrong and why I was stopped), cuffed, and brought downtown before being released. At least I was able to simply walk away from the incident. Based on the two videos that I've seen I can simply say that the situation is EXTREMELY BLEAK as it relates to the BRPD. My heart goes out to the family of Alton Sterling and the entire community of Baton Rouge. The saddest thing that I've seen, other than witnessing this man being shot and killed on video, over the last day and a half has been, in too many cases has been the differences in opinion and ignoring the fact that someone was killed seemingly in cold blood. I've discussed the situation with several police officers and in three different instances the officers or former officers said something to the effect of things not needing to escalate to the point that they got to; that there were other courses of action that could have been taken. The officers made a decision that resulted in us losing another black man for seemingly no reason, another valuable life, another human being. There isn't a lot more that needs to be said. It seems like we're seeing cases like this more and more often all over the United States and for it to happen in the town I was born, raised, and have chosen to raise my own family in is disheartening to say the least. I'm a compulsive believer that justice will be served and that CHANGE in our city, state, and nation will take place as a result of another senseless killing.

The MN guy was allegedly complying and still got shot.

Tell him where it is in the vehicle and ask if its safe to retrieve it. If there is a gun close by let him know.
Ive asked many drivers for their insurance and they reached in a glove box or console right next to a gun. I didn't shoot them. I pulled my weapon and told them to show me their hands. Had they made one wrong move they may have been shot. Maybe im different but I just always assumed people were stupid, instead of thinking were all wanting to kill me. Usually after that they would freak out, apologize profusely, id holster my weapon, have them step out and retrieve the document myself. Everyone goes about their day

Are you saying compliance guarantees that you won't be shot?

I'm about to take off on a flight but can you post for me about his thought on the jp sheriff who was murdered a couple weeks ago. Thanks

At least Alton will have a real nice funeral. I hope they play some of his favorite mixes as a tribute and that it serves to send him off properly.
