Good. Justice.

Minn. officer acquitted of manslaughter for shooting Philando Castile during traffic stop

 

[JakeStarkey]

The victim should have had his hands in plain sight all the time.

Once he put his hand into his pocket, he was a dead man.

why do you believe that is the way things should be?

why is it your belief that government agents should have that power to kill American Citizens when they feel scared?

why do you believe that is the way things should be?

(1) because he was a civilian

(2) because he had been smoking dope

(3) because the cop can shoot him and get away with it (which happened)

(4) because it is better to be smart than trying to do more than what the cop has told you to do

He didn't just put his hand in his pocket

He told the cop he was carrying a weapon then reached behind his back

let me ask you a question

If I tell you I am armed then immediately reach behind my back what do you assume I am going to do ? And remember if you guess wrong you get dead

As he should have in this case

so lets see if I have your belief system down.....
1) civilians are lower ranks in the system, cops are the 'parents' and rulers of us lowly citizens, therefore we civilians must do as we are told at all times
2) dope is bad, therefore anyone who does any kind of illegal drug deserves anything they get at the hands of government, even if its dead
3) cops must have the power to kill anyone they feel necessary
4) civilians are morons who need to be ordered about at all times and disobedience is punishable by death. comply or die, right?
