I just saw that video of Philando Castile getting shot. Maybe I'm imagining things here, but can anyone recall any police shootings of black men in routine traffic stopsbefore Obama became POTUS? The only one I can think of that is remotely close is Rodney King which was just a beating, but how odd that suddenly in the past 7.5 years we have all these shootings of black men by cops making a traffic stop, and then riots and now this with cops being massacred in Texas. You ever get the feeling something ain't what it seems here? I would THINK the absolute LAST LAST LAST thing a cop would ever want to do is shoot a black man in a routine traffic stop, yet it keeps happening. Something don't jibe here.

Have you also noticed the beginnings and some endings of all these videos are cut? Including the 15 mile Rodney King chase.

They have been happening for a long time. LA in the 60’s 70’s & 80’s. Watts Compton. Oakland CA. Chicago.
The difference is how fast can the video gets on the web. The instigators that use the incidents to fan the flames to an inferno.
And finally- the complete disrespect of law by certain members of society. So bad in fact that it’s shoot first anybody certain members of society feel threatened. Police (not all do this) need to stop pulling the jbt vibe against all citizens. BLM et al, needs to get a grip and understand- be a good citizen. Become a member of society instead of perpetually agrieved pissed off hip hop wanna-be thug life low life.
I’ve recently had an attempted home invasion. (July 5th-9:15pm) called 911 and 3 minutes later had 5 PD cruisers and 1 sheriff deputy swarming my neighborhood. The PD who we had contact with were professional, courteous, just the facts, wanted to ensure we felt safe in our home before they split. They were here for 2 hours. We knew they wanted to hunt that mutt down (never caught him). Downloaded security cam video- he was hiding his face as he was opening our storm door, then ran when my hound alerted us.
3 of the officers were black, one was I think Hispanic and 1 was white. We spoke with all of them as did our neighbors. All professional ! Both myself and Mrs Bo had our heaters (holstered) on us. None of the officers were concerned a bit when we told them (dispatch as well) as such. We both were told we should be armed and “If the perp was willing to break our house when we were home, we should assume he would be armed”

“The only one I can think of that is remotely close is Rodney King which was just a beating,”

Most people never got the word that that video of Rodney King being beaten was heavily edited; they had taken out the parts where he was attacking.

That is why that during the initial trial, the officers were found not guilty. The jury had the complete video.
