Furthermore, not only was Castile indeed a criminal, evidenced by chronic scofflaw/misdemeanor non-compliance and illegal drug use shown on video, we DO NOT know for a fact that he wasn’t one of the robbers in question.

I guess we don't know for sure that Castile was not the robber in question but that can be said for millions of other blacks certainly 100’s of thousands in the vicinity.

Saying that someone should be dead because he may have been someone that someone described as a robber and saying that someone is a criminal for traffic violations is only showing your extreme racism. That is a hard thing for me to say, I a white guy from Kentucky, I remember telling black people to sit at the back of the bus in the 50’s so don't confuse me with being some liberal nut job.

Racial discrimination is wrong and worse, it is immoral. I'm not against profiling, I understand that believing a person is more likely a bad guy because he is black and smokes weed but that is not a reason to kill him before you find out. That is what happened here. What you said in effect is that since it was possible that he was the robber then he deserved to die, that attitude belongs to a time long since past and to a South that no longer exists. It is is time to grow up and realize that all people are people.

This was a contributing member of society and was killed down without good reason. Since tax dollars supported the killer then it is on all of us who's money supported the cop to bear the responsibility for it. When we do nothing to stop it it will happen again and again, some day we will have to answer for our inaction. I have chosen to speak out against the wrongs committed on innocent people, I will not hide my head in the sand and watch innocent people be punished for the mistakes of others.

It would be interesting to compare the same posters’ attitudes about scofflaw Castile to their attitudes about members of biker gangs, er, “clubs.”

Send me an honest person, in place of your dishonest b.s.

You falsely mischaracterize my position. And you know it. And you know exactly how. Nowhere have I EVER depicted what happened as you so dishonestly twisted it. GTFO
