"I'm going to stop a car. I'm going to check IDs. I have reason to pull it over."
"The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery. The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just 'cause of the wide set nose."
Is that anything like "They all look alike"?
:roll:
Maybe? They'll have to ask the guy that pulled the trigger. I'm sure an attorney will get the chance before too long.
I'd also like someone to ask the reporters that kept printing white hispanic in the Zimmerman case why they did that. Or why white people are being shot, because a brown police officer named Jeronimo Yanez killed a black man. In addition, why have we not heard what race Jeronimo is? Because it doesn't fit the narrative of "white" or the fabricated "white hispanic".
The media is responsible for colluding to stoke this violence.
More specifically to this incident, I find it interesting if that is a gun in his lap, that the girlfriend failed to mention that part when speaking with the press.
Also, why did she lie about him having a gun permit?
"Ms. Reynolds also claims her boyfriend, Castile, was holding a concealed carry permit for a firearm that was resting on his left thigh. This also appears to be false.
According to a question presented to the local county sheriff who oversees the Concealed Carry Permit process, Mr. Castile had never requested a concealed carry permit from their office:
Due to the rear facing camera option on the phone Ms. Reynolds was using, the uploaded video is a reversed mirror image – making it appear she was in the drivers side, and Castile was on the passenger side. However, that impression is incorrect, astile was driving the vehicle. The uploaded image is reversed by Facebook Livestream Video.
However, in part of the video it is possible to see a hand gun located on the thigh of Philando Castile. This also appears to be why Officer Yanez repeats to Ms. Reynolds not to reach toward her boyfriend"
It might be a very bad, life ending decision that can't be made right. But IF that is a gun, and IF that guy wasn't following orders, there might be more validity to the police officer's decision. Hate that it happened either way.
Just to throw out some additional food for thought...
Chicago shooting statistics for this year to date only: Remember one of the strictest gun law cities in the US.
Total Shot: 2082
Shot & Killed: 309
Shot & Wounded: 1773
Those look like war stats. They are war stats, but the war is waging in inner cities America.
Knowing that, and knowing that the guy you just pulled over has a gun in his lap, and you think he might be a robbery by gun suspect..... how puckered would your back side be?
I can see how very bad decisions are made, or justified decisions, or really really just tragic they had to be made decisions.
It's sad. And the inner city violence is just getting worse.
