How does /po/ feel about the Philando Castille shooting? It happened a little less than a year about but is being brought up in the news again today. The man had a concealed carry permit and, supposedly, he was reaching for his ID per the cop's instruction and was killed anyway.

I'm gonna be honest man, in relation to the whole black lives matter movement, and white cops shooting black dudes - it's all fucked.
On one hand, I'm making the assumption that a lot of these cops are under pressure and are aware that this could be their last day alive so they're constantly on guard. You top that off with a ghetto ass neighborhood that is laden with crime and, statistically speaking (no, you google it mother fucker) black males are the ones committing homicide out the ass. So, you've got these cops that are basically living in a war zone and their adrenal glands are just PUMPING cortisol through their fucking veins and because it's their jobs; they're gonna pick fight over flight every time.
With a situation like OP, dude it fucking sucks, everybody has the right to live a wonderful life because honestly we more likely than not have one shot at this bitch so let's enjoy it while we can so for someone to die like homie did in the OP is fucking horrible.
tl;dr - Law enforcement, as well as many other avenues of first world life, need a total makeover. Do I know what they are? Fuck no, but I know there are think tanks out there that can formulate ways to put humanity onto a track where everyone can live peacefully, and if they work hard enough, flourish.

It was bullshit. White supremacy is real. Philando’s nose literally scared the hell out of Officer Yanez. Philando was shot and killed because an officer claimed his nose reminded him of the nose of a man who was a threat. He had dark skin, and that was the sole reason he was killed. The racist white cop who killed him is free today. To millions of Americans, this was and should have been an open and shut case. I agree with them. But the system is rigged. The laws bend over backwards to protect police, no matter how foul and outrageous the circumstance.

>its the policemens fault that blacks carry illegal guns, shoot cops, lie during questioning, and always resist arrest

>The racist white cop
He wasn't white he was latino.
philando was a massive faggot and giga nigger that liked to hotbox his car with a 4 year old in it. and he was a failure at basic car maintenance.
Everything we think we know that happened leading up to the shooting is based off what his girlfriend said happened.
Why would I believe a woman who was more concerned with videoing herself spewing BLM nonsense as her boyfriend lay next to her taking his last breaths. She's obviously biased against the police.
Dashcam or bodycam needs to be released before I fault the officers

The NRA really should have backed this guy, would have been amazing PR even if they hate Black people
NRA is full of racist ass crackas.
Time to arm blacks and gays.
Time to form a black gay NRA.

>Pulled over because he was suspected of a robbery (which he had committed)
>Tells the cop he's armed and says he has a permit which he says he'll show the cop
>Cop tells him repeatedly to not do that and keep his hands where they are
>"Well I don't need to listen because I'm Homer Simp-"
What made it better was the fact what his wife/gf/hoochie claimed happened was absolutely nothing like what actually happened when the video came out. The proper video, not the one of her livestreaming him dying for likes.

Only good nigger is a dead one.

Um...I mean it sounds like an unfortunate misunderstanding. I'd like to know why the jury ruled the way it did.

>tell cop you have a gun
>told not to move
>reaches for something anyway
>gets shot
I don't feel sorry for him

Pretty good breakdown. People need to realize that cops are twitchy at traffic stops because that's where a giant portion of police deaths happen. Even if you tell them you are armed and licensed, which you are required to do in most states, many police are going to freak out a bit. Some of the freakout can be eliminated due to proper training - but moral of the story is to obey the directions of the officer in the situation, not to try and whip out your new toy to show the man. Even his girlfriend was telling him not to in the video.
TL;DR - Darwin Award

>Cops should have that much power over civilians
Sorry, if your a pussy that needs to shoot the moment someone flinched, you shouldn't be a cop. Part of being an officer is the risk of being killed. Deal with it or find a new career.
