Sounds like another violent criminal off the streets.

What I see here tells me the rule of law goes out the window if the police officer suspects someone of something...and the police officer is right no matter what. I seriously disagree with this view, but it seems very popular here on FR.

Minnesota’s governor, Mark Dayton

Waiting for his correction on the incident now that he has trashed one of his officers

Even some of the Sunday AM panel members were trying to get past the rhetoric of the black "pity us" guests. Basically, that (out-shouted) concept is that we have to go back to being a nation run by the rule of law. Going to the streets demanding "justice" and publicizing unverified accounts accomplishes nothing positive. A protest over something that isn't the way it happened is where these police officers were slaughtered. These cases need to be investigated, with the law decided the outcome.

We can't have that if the BLM crowd keeps amping up the crazies (1) before the facts are verified and (2) if they don't like the outcome of the fact-finding and judicial process.

Another thing.....nobody had the guts to bring up the issue of horrific out-of-control violence in so many lower-income black neighborhoods.

I am glad the turd is taking a dirt nap!

“The still image appears to have been flipped horizontally.”

When looking at the photos posted here on FR, he was behind the wheel and I wondered why the steering wheel was on the right side of the car.

Cop pulls you over. Cop is upset and nervous and pointing a gun at you and orders you to keep your hands where he can see them.

You tell him your getting your ID and reach into your pants, where it is discovered later there is, in fact, a gun?

And your “girlfriend” calmly videos and narrates you getting shot?

1. You were reaching for your gun, in order to shoot the cop.

2. That’s not your girlfriend.

I am not glad that a man - a US citizen - who apparently did nothing wrong in this situation was shot dead. Both for his sake, and also because if it can happen to him, it can happen to the rest of us.

[I want the USA back]

No one in this “debate” seems to recall that half of the violent crime in this country is committed by Blacks.

Demonicrat Dayton needs to resign.

You, nor anyone else, knows exactly what happened at this point.

No, they'll use the remote robot bomb on us when they come to collect the guns...

And there will be people cheering that, too...

[ColdOne]

Why didn’t miss Diamond call for help instead of videotaping him dying?

[rockrr]

And indeed, if Castile had been white, he wouldn’t have fit the description of an armed robber on that afternoon in Falcon Heights. For that reason, and no other, he probably wouldn’t have been stopped at all.

Faulty logic. Castile was the likely robber. If Castile was white the robber (being Castile) would have been white and he would still have been stopped.

[digger48]

I distinctly remember thinking and opining about what an idiot this guy was back when he was a Senator.

[Arm_Bears]

Story’s beginning to change, huh?

Anybody really surprised by this?

[ohioman]

Oh well. I will try not to lose any sleep over another dead thug. Well bye!

[publius911]

The difference in public impact won’t be because of more acute observation, or a greater concern for truth, among white witnesses. It’s not like white girlfriends are more reliable in that regard. The difference will be that if this incident had involved white people, the odds are you would never have even heard about it.

Therein lies the rub.
There is a conversation that refuses to take place; THE third rail of race relations.
Why have blacks devolved into a stoneage response to public social civilized interaction? That they have is indisputable.

(Note that I have not said ALL blacks; just MOST blacks. If there is ONE exception to a general statement, does not invalidate the general observation based on real life. Spare me the sophistry)

There can be no improvement in our sick subcultures until that conversation takes place. Wherever it leads.
