Distrust of police by the public – and not just African-Americans, but Americans of all races and ethnicities – continues to be a problem.


This morning's Sacramento Bee's editorial. Surprised the editor could hold a pen to write it with all of the blood on his hands.

I suspect george sorros has a hand in the shooting to create a crisis to take attention away form Killerys emails. The government only has a 25% favorable rating which I expect to fall again.

Philando was apparently a gangbanger, had a long rap sheet, was armed, and tried to fake being a CCW when stopped by the cop. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went so far as to try to draw down on the cop as well. If true, that info needs to start getting out. With the BLM idiots escalating things in Dallas, the true nature of that segment of society needs to not be hidden or obscured anymore.

My sentiments exactly....headlines are not on Hillary now are they?...I saw Trey Gowdy's examination yesterday, his True or False approach was priceless!

Is this what they call a False Flag?...or a new version of Arkancide?

In Minnesota I saw that the officer involved was Hispanic - so does that mean that Mark Dayton thinks Hispanic cops want to kill black men. Did CNN say the MN cop was white?

His girlfriends shouts ‘you asked hi for his ID’. So yes, he was reaching into his pocket when he was shot. BUT, we only have the info the girlfriend gave us, and she was videoing with her camera at the time. I pray that the officer had on his bodycam so we can know the whole story. If it was entirely on the officer, fair enough. But we really need to know exactly what happened before we pass judgment. Obama spoke again yesterday, from Warsaw no less, about white officers shooting black victims. Rush to judgment from the CIC AND his sycophants in the media. And why was the girlfriend videoing??? I hope we find out the truth, whatever it is.

Here we go again with that infamous "White Hispanic" if the past is prologue!

See, Hispanic can be white or latino depending on the circumstances as the press sees them. If it is a negative, or a negative activity against some other group, he is white. If he is the recipient of any perceived bad activity by the police, he is latino.

We have been saying here for years, this balkanizing and hyphenating society as we have been doing in the media is going to lead to real trouble. It is now here. Pox on the media and the politicians.

As far as the girlfriend shooting video, I’d give that a pass. As deeply as the black community has invested in the “all cops shoot black people” meme by this point, I’m surprised more blacks aren’t videoing every encounter just in case they capture anything to feed that meme.

And, as usual, Teh W0n “acted stupidly”. It is getting to the point that even the useful idiots on the Left are starting to wonder if he isn’t doing it deliberately.

Photo may or may not show a gun on the man’s lap. Did you see it? I can’t tell for sure, but it certainly could be.

ANOTHER FBI FAILURE

Philando Castile pulled a gun on a homeless man, it is illegal to have a gun as a convicted child molester and felon...resisted arrest, tried to pull weapon...the Police didn’t initially pull their weapons until he did.

Facts are a pesky things to libtards.

I saw the video of the man bleeding, it was hard to avoid as it was on all the TV news reports. I am saying I don’t know for sure what happened. And I will wait for confirmation to make a judgment. The post above says he was a convicted child molester, etc. so, was the stop for a broken taillight like the girlfriend said? We need to step back and learn the FACTS,

Yes, we certainly need to step back and let all the facts come out. When I first heard about Trayvon, it was that a kid had been shot by an over-zealous neighborhood watch member. They even showed a picture of 12-year-old Trayvon. When I first heard about Michael Brown, it was that a cop was hassling him for walking in the street and that it escalated to the cop shooting him. Both those narratives were 100% false. I refuse to believe anything that the BLM types say until I get "the rest of the story".
