Jun 20, 2017 He wasn't even charged with murder... He was charged with 2nd degree manslaughter and found not guilty.
Jun 21, 2017 The officer who shot Philando Castile said the smell of marijuana made him fear for his life.....Jesus Christ our cops s---.
Jun 21, 2017 What the actual f---. How is this guy not in jail right now? Did they at least fire him and strip him of his ability to be a police officer?
Jun 21, 2017 I have a pro gun stance and believe in the 2nd amendment. However, after reading info into the cops defense, he needs to be locked up. "The smell of marijuana and a possible robbery suspect with a gun is what's running through the officers mind." This killing was completely unconstitutional. I don't even side with the victims too much on these cop killings but this one here really rubbed me the wrong way. Then to say the black guy was stoned and wasn't following orders... So the cop shoots him? Idk how this isn't murder tbh.
Jun 21, 2017 Yes but still.... he killed a man and is walking free. All because he smelled some weed and panicked.
Jun 21, 2017 I wonder what it'll take to get some law enforcement reform going and get rid of the reluctance to indict cops......
Jun 21, 2017 Likely no time soon. In a government that's dominated by two major parties, you have one side that acknowledges that this is an issue and another that thinks there's a "war on police."
Jun 21, 2017 You're a peasant. Waste of breath. Waste of time. Waste of life. Your mom should have swallowed you. You disgrace your family by being alive.
Jun 21, 2017 well lets think about this theirs an officer right next to you holstering a weapon telling you not to reach... lets use common sense here (You don't move ) i hate cops with a passion and i think he should definitely gotten jail time but like lets be honest you gotta treat them like there a dangerous animal. Just be nice to them and don't argue and do what they say you'll be fine In all honesty why we act all cocky. Like cops cant do s--- to us (obviously they can as you see!) there will never be justice because the gov has been corrupt for years.. with the mainstream media Split the country because of stupid petty things like political views and Abortion (COPS) my point is the world is messed up there aint nothing you can do about it by complaining on a forum..... but i agree this cop got away with murder and should totally be in prison tbh sorry for the rant ... but like i knew this was going to happen with this verdict
Jun 21, 2017 Castille reached into his pocket because the officer asked him for his license and registration. And prior to that request, Castille informed the officer that he had a firearm on him and had a license to carry. Or you "do everything you're supposed to" and still end up having your rights violated, getting physically harmed, or in the worst case scenario killed (like we have seen here).
