Officer who shot Philando Castile found not guilty

[Doctor Amadeus]

this seems relevant.

No it doesn't Its an insult towards a dead guy murdered in front of his family, with no evidence this was how he behaved. Regardless to how anyone feels about the verdict.

Has anyone ever noticed that, in the vast majority of cases, people who bitch about police officers are wholly incapable of formulating a complete, coherent sentence? Just a curious observation, that. Doesn't mean a thing, of course. Of course...

Gun in the car doesn't suggest had it in his hand.

People saying he should have complied apparently have no idea what the details of this case are...

So you were on the jury?

look at who i was replying to i didn't say it applied to the guy in this case.

Gun in the car doesn't suggest had it in his hand.

The guy said he was armed. Thus he was armed as far as the police officer knew.

(And thanks again for proving my previous point about cop haters.)

Ooh, ooh, can I play this game, too?

"So were you?"

Sorry I assumed it was about the topic.

[Krastyn]

And this guy did the same thing but was shot for it.

He was specifically told not to reach for it, and was shot. That's a little different than doing it after being asked to do it.

Said he had a gun Im sure he did that to inform the cop he was going to have a god damn shoot out with the cop with his kid in the back seat and no priors.

He went for his ID after being told to. The cop fucked up and forgot killing him for it.

He told them he had a gun. He was asked for his paperwork. When he reached for his paperwork the cop shot him.

Don't do anything other than what you're told. Now this situation could've been solved if police had to wear body cams.

He was asked for his paperwork and reached for it.

[Shinra1]

Was the jury made up of white people. White in the Caucasian hell is this?

infracted - trolling

[SupBrah]

And this guy did the same thing but was shot for it.

Apparently not since the jury (who actually got to see evidence we didn't get to see) found him not guilty.

[Shinra1]

typical you cant expect to get justice out of a system that isnt designed for justice

True ALSO the justice system is inherently racist.

[Rahulk]

being black doesn't have any thing to do with any thing if the cop shot him because he was reaching for a gun he would most likely do the same thing if he was white.

Oh my god, do the same thing if he was white? but race have nothing to do with it?
Firing 7 shots at the man makes it murder on my book...

[NineSpine]

Apparently not since the jury (who actually got to see evidence we didn't get to see) found him not guilty.

Trials are public. The details are out there if you care to look.

Are you really naive enough to believe the criminal justice system gets it right 100% of the time? Think OJ was innocent?

[Doctor Amadeus]

What body language did he describe that you think is suspicious?



What? You're either supposed to tell them you have a carry permit and a weapon on your person (or in your car) or just hand them your carry permit when they ask for for your DL.

Go back and reread what I wrote instead of what you wanted it to say. I've already answered most of this.

[Ghostpanther]

My apologies then I just exaggerated the example to try to make a point not attack or imply anything. The point is we both been pulled over and have permits seem to know what to expect. Its not this something went really wrong, and the cop by authority, holding the gun, and being alive afterwards should be held responsible.

No problem. The laws do vary according to the state also. For one, I would not be driving in Minnesota with my firearm loaded anyway, as they are one of the 7 states which do not recognize Ohio's license for conceal/carry.

I think any policeman should be held responsible in their actions. I think they are when they are caught doing something irresponsible. In this case, I do not know all the Jury did. That is my stance for now at least.

[NineSpine]

You keep saying "in front of his family" like it's relevant. It's not.

Actually, discharging a weapon numerous times into a car with two other people, including a child, in it is pretty good evidence that his actions were reckless and impulsive. He panicked. That's the whole problem here.

[Doctor Amadeus]

You keep saying "in front of his family" like it's relevant. It's not.

It is if you're a cop and read situations and body language the same way many racially profile.

Why does it matter if white people were on the jury?

[NineSpine]

No, he didn't do the same thing. He essentially said, "I have a gun" WHILE reaching for SOMETHING. That's just stupid no matter what you're actually reaching for.

Your question has already been answered. He shouldn't have done anything until the cop told him how to proceed. Once he started reaching and the cop pulled his gun on him, he told him to stop and put his hands up but he continued to reach while saying he was getting his DL. You don't do that.

That's not what happened. He told the officer that he had a gun. The officer told him not to reach for it. He didn't. The officer then asked for his ID. He reached for his ID and the officer freaked out. Philando Castille, likely startled by the officer suddenly pulling out a gun and screaming at him, did not comply fast enough and was executed.

[NineSpine]

Is the cop supposed to magically know where it is?

You can't say someone had their hand on a gun when we see you on video saying "I don't know where the gun is" after firing.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Wrong he instructed him to get his ID with the cops gun already pulled.
