“So, in other words, even after you have learned that you were completely wrong, you are a unrepentant [insert epithet here that would get me banned].”
You’ll find out how “completely wrong” I am when the whole truth about this Minnesota incident comes out. Then you will eat crow. Until then, go back to “just lurking”. Too many cop haters on threads. Make me sick.
Sorry, you don't get to make that kind of accusation without evidence. There's been way too much of that going around today.
Yes, the "whole truth" may turn out to be different than what is known today. But, that doesn't give you the right to degrade and belittle anyone that points out that innuendo and character assassination isn't appropriate. The left does this daily, but that doesn't give us license to do it, too.

I think you have me confused with someone else. Or perhaps some strawman in your mind that doesn't actually exist.
I replied to you to point out that your claim about Castile's lack of CCW permit was wrong. I even explained why the original information was incomplete, and couldn't be relied upon.
But, you can't even admit that you made a mistake. That says volumes about someone -- it's one thing to be wrong, but something entirely different to be unwilling to acknowledge it.
Let's get this straight: I don't hate cops. I have a lot of respect for them, because it's a difficult job even when it isn't risky.
But, police officers are human. Humans make mistakes. If I make a mistake, I can usually fix it. However, when a police officer makes a mistake, people may die or have their life ruined. This is why we expect police officers to meet a higher standard -- because the consequences are so great.
A man died because he happened to resemble a robbery suspect. We may never know exactly how the traffic stop went down, but it's almost certain there was some miscommunication that aggravated a tense situation.
I don't know if the officer did anything wrong. But as a CHL holder, I want to believe I'm not in danger every time I encounter a police officer -- even if I happen to resemble someone they are looking for. In the 20 years since I got my first CHL, I've never had a reason to be concerned. But, my state did a lot of training for both officers and CHL holders to be sure there was no problem.
