It was 275 white people to 136 black people, that's double.SnotBubbles;1802682 wrote:1) I didn't want to turn this into a race thing. But since it will inevitably become one....
2) Those stats are a little flawed. I started going through them, a lot of them are "hit by patrol car," "murdered by off duty officer," etc.

Agreed 100%.
His voice inflection really doesn't prove anything other than.....he is human.

If a person enters my house and I am forced to kill them I am still going to be "scared crapless" just from the fear/adrenaline rush that happened from having to take a human life.
Just because he sounded scared doesn't mean he is guilty...but I do believe he is guilty.

both of videos show almost nothing that leads to the shootings.

Officer, I have a gun on me.
Sir, LISTEN VERY Carefully to me. DO NOT show me where it is, DO NOT reach for it, DO NOT point at it. TELL ME where the gun is.
It's in my waistband by my right hip, underneath my shirt.
.
SLOWLY PLACE both of your hands on the window ledge right here in front of me. (Officer calls for back-up).......Sir, Thank You for informing me. STAY just as you are. When another officer arrives we will safely remove you from the vehicle and retrieve the gun. Are there other guns in the car? Appreciate your cooperation, it is IMPORTANT that you continue to follow my instructions. (Repeat as often as necessary until back-up arrives).
That's my opinion on how a typical exchange between a driver who reports that he has a gun and the officer should go.

Stuff like this is incredibly disappointing to read. Tensions are already high, but we need to let the dust settle and investigate what really happened and go from there. But first, how about the fucking Governor say this wouldn't have happened if Castile were white. Talk about adding fuel to a fire.

Bringing up race in this is stupid as hell. Can Asians even be racist? Because from what I am told by the media only white people can, so I don't get it. Or is it that only black people can be victims of racism? I get confused with how am I supposed to think and the "rules" of how racism works.

Spot on. I'm so tired of politicians running their narrative to exacerbate tensions. There is no need to turn this into a racial issue, except to capitalize on the incident for political purposes.....and then you wring your hands when the riots start and buildings get burned.friendfromlowry;1802751 wrote:http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/appalled-minnesota-governor-says-philando-castile-would-be-alive-if-n605496

Stupid dumbf**** that don't deserve to be in a position of leadership and authority..... but they get their cues from those in charge in Washington.

Why does a weapon that shoots a bullet piercing through flesh and bone have to be the first choice?
I'm thankful that tasers came into use, which have saved many lives.
Cop got a problem with some fucker, shoot them with a bean bag, yank them out, and do your thing. Maybe you will get sued, but they will still be alive. And the cop doesn't have to live with taking someone's life.

Supposedly 10 cops shot, 3 killed. This is insane. Dallas didn't even have anything to do with the shootings. 2 suspects in elevated positions opened fire. Wtf

You want cops to stop shooting people, then do something like this? I have no sympathy for anyone shot by cops anymore.

The only thing more sickening than killing innocent people is when people celebrate those murders. And that's basically my Facebook and Twitter right now.

This is like 1968 2.0, and it's going to get worse...even though racial equality is at an all time high, race relations is a powder keg ready to go off--big time.
