The racial crap is definitely throwing crap in the air...it is a total distraction, I don't care if the guy was 14 different colors or opaque...and maybe this clown wanted to get popped and be a martyr, still, it can't be done without a willing participant...when did cops start getting training on dealing with suicide-by-cop situations? Decades ago. Did they drop that training?
Plus, since the police have been through their unions and through their lapdop relationship with demonrats, community agitators and the like they've drifted further from us, the good (formerly!) law-abiding people.
This clown may not be a saint and may have an agenda...but I am not so willing anymore to give any cop any benefit of the doubt, they pissed that goodwill away a long time ago...and never bothered trying to repair it. They made their bed, if their pals helped set it on fire, tough...enjoy the heat.
So, show me proof this guy had a gun in his hand...show me that proof and I won't call this an execution. Burden is on the cop, and so far I see no evidence of that. If there was the department would waste zero time getting that out. When the clamp down on information is triggered it is always going to be one direction, if anything even appears unfavorable it will never see the light of day before hand and possibly never. If there is clear evidence supporting a cops actions it flies out at the speed of light.
In Portland
a BLM asshole actually pulled a gun and was just arrested, not pumped with 4 rounds......WTF? Somebody isn't trained right somewhere!
ETA - Gov "Pills" Dayton - sides with race-centric BLM over cops...
http://www.weaselzippers.us/281930-minnesota-governor-on-philando-castile-officer-wouldnt-have-fired-if-passenger-was-white/...I'd say I'm sorry for the cops, but...they kiss this ass, too bad for them it rewards them by throwing them under the bus and calls them a bunch of murderous racist bastards.
Yeah, that's a shame...
