The US justice system is a joke, I'd trust the Saudi Arabian justice system over the US's.
And anyone who supports civilians bearing arms, I'm sorry, you're a fucking lunatic. In any other civilized country in the world this shit couldn't even happen. What kind of country do you live in where police are soldiers waging war on the population, constantly fearing for their lives because anyone and everyone will at any second take out a gun and start shooting?
It's insane. Where I come from, Police are public servants who keep you safe, in the US they are trained like military and the enemy is the general population.

Point me to the moment in any of the official legal proceedings where the knife was adjudicated as being in violation of Baltimore's switchblade statute. You can't, because that never happened, because the mere assertions of defense counsel and the police are not dispositive.
Sometimes it amazes me how people can live in their own little world of nonsense with their shield of ignorance protecting them from any at all facts that don't agree with the narrative they hold so dear. From Browns supposed "hands up" nonsense, to gray's completely illegal knife (and resultant disbarment proceedings against the corrupt Moronsby whom lied about the knife among other tons of other things), and now we have a clown show of people who claiming Castile was a legal gun owner despite all evidence and testimony to the contrary. The crazy thing is I could point right to direct trial testimony/evidence that disporved your claim but it wouldn't matter because you are stuck in fairytale land.
You keep focusing on the fact the permit was legal. Its like its a concept you dont understand.
Its like someone explained before, just because you have a license to drive doesn't mean you cant steal a car. Its like this dude got caught with a stolen vehicle and you're the smart ass in the back going "BUT HIS LICENSE IS VALID". Yeah and? That has nothing to do with the conversation.
The argument that Castile was a prohibited possessor is, at best, an arguable legal abstract. It's not a self-proving disqualifier; he wasn't a convicted felon who illegally purchased, and I don't know of any clear evidence that he, at the time of purchase, would have been falsely answering the questions required, and it's actually irrelevant to the immediate circumstance of his shooting anyway -- he declared his possession to the officer, and was attempting to follow the officer's commands, and was shot anyway.
Of concern to me is the possibility that there is a flakey and skittish cop still on duty who may panic-fire again.
I ain't bashing a country, I'm bashing the completely devastating system that allows civilians to carry weapons made only for killing that sees more gun related deaths than all other civilized countries combined and creates the need for a militarized police force that is trained to view every person they're supposed to protect as an enemy that must be put down with deadly force at the slightest hint of danger.
And how you expressed that disagreement in this post is fine. But remember the laws and constitutions a country have is ether a reflection of themselves or the controlling political powers. In the US, we have a procedure which citizens can use to change things. Ether way a democracy should be what the people in that country want. Our Constitution is based on what the Founding Fathers wanted for our country and yet at the same time, they set up a way to change those.
See, I kinda would be of a mind to bash systems that debase the human dignity of its citizens and their natural rights to the point than when primitive degenerates try to murder them in the street or the pub or a coffee shop their only legal recourse is to throw coffee cups and swing bookbags at the vermin.
From Washington Post - Of all of the unarmed people shot and killed by police in 2015, 40 percent of them were black men, even though black men make up just 6 percent of the US population.
If you're defending what's happening there's something wrong with you.
Police shoot whites and blacks in fairly comparable numbers, but the chance of getting shot if you're unarmed is much higher for blacks. There is no way to defend it other than to try and muddy the issue.
