Wish everybody would wait for the facts as you and most of the public do. How ever some do jump and make a bad situation worse. POTUS has already  used color and guns as well the Governor of Minnesota. Now the Dallas shootings of LEO, gona be a ruff few days for all.

Well now the Minnesota Governor has said Castile was killed because he was black. How could he possibly know that? And why would he say something like that? What an idiot.

Fitty, another thought provoking and common sense video. Sadly you are in the minority (with the rest of us) that try to use objective logic to understand the sequence of events. This country is going nuts faster than we can blink.

Given that I don't know what happened since I wasn't there, I will say - as a former LEO - that there's a big difference in body language and movement between retrieving your license and drawing a weapon to shoot an officer. If the subject did tell the officer that he was armed and licensed to carry then said officer should have been real alert to the difference. Many people are conditioned to do what the LEO commands without giving thought to how they are doing it. He may have heard the command to present his license/registration, and gave no heed to the quickness of his response to the demand. I'm also aware that there are more than a few LEOs out there that are more afraid than cautious, and they shouldn't be in the profession. Again, I don't know, but I think a reasonable person would assume that there's more to the story than mere racism. I never knew any cop who was just itch'n to kill someone.

Fitty: Excellent video.

Good video and good advice, officer involved shooting investigations take time and the investigators have to deal with a disjointed jumbled mess of a situation.

Exactly...sadly though that hasn't stopped people from deciding with their emotions.

The problem with these situations is no matter what the facts are, there will be those who've already made up their mind.  Heck, they are still protesting in Ferguson for Brown even though the facts don't support a protest in that situation.   What they don't consider is that there are a few Dems breaking the law and not being charged.  And the biased liberal media just throws gas on the fire:

Do a search on this arrest, any mainsteam hits?

And not to mention this:

But let a gun be used for anything and its all over media.

KnoxRag reported that Knoxville had ~100 protesters on downtown Gay Street today - defacto supporting the Dallas shooting...

These are stats from a n article referencing data posted by the Washington Post.



Black Male Americans are 40x more likely to be killed by another black male than by a cop.
