There Is No Justice In America For Black People Killed By Cops
Huffington Post ^ | 6/16/2017 | Julia Craven

Posted on 06/18/2017 8:54:29 AM PDT by antidemoncrat

I have to write about Philando Castile, the 32-year-old black man who was shot and killed by a Minnesota police officer last July. I have to compose myself, sit at this laptop and write something profound about another black life taken by a police officer, another officer found not guilty for killing a black person.

I don't remember a shooting involving police and a black man where parents or friends said he was bad to the bone and no surprise this happened. It's always "No justice no peace" or "Hands up don't shoot" no matter what the circumstances.

Just out of curiosity, because none of the news pieces cover this part.....what was the traffic stop all about in the first place?

So, Huffpo...You are saying that blacks killed by other blacks are the bad blacks??? Because we never see marches and protests and riots when a black kills another black...

Only when a law enforcement officer does the shooting...

And so goes the promotion of racial division in America.

If you’re a young black man in America, getting shot by a cop should be the least of your worries. You’re much more likely to be shot by another black.

Jurors don’t fall for the media’s war on the police.

What about justice for cops killed by black people (like Werner Foerster and Daniel Faulkner)?

According to the Wikipedia article on the killing, he was stopped "for a broken taillight and because he resembled a suspect from a bank robbery that had happened four days earlier."

Also according to Wikipedia, Mr. Castile had been subjected to traffic stops 52 times by the police, although the article doesn't say over what time period, and doesn't say whether those were all by the local police department, which (they say) has 23 officers.

They don’t care about things like that, that happens every day/week there. Not part of the agenda.

Maybe Black Lives Matter should stop presenting professional criminals as innocent victims.

There’s no justice for any people killed by cops.

Throwing in a racial component only ensures the problem won’t be solved.

Two of the demonicRATS' staunchest supporters. Police Unions and black people. Sorry, black people, but public defenders are no match for the expensive attorneys Unions can afford.

Will black people never see how they are being used?

Notice how there has been no riots over this? Obamas community agitators are currently unemployed.

You say this as if you wish to imply that this is justification for a street execution of a citizen.

Is this, in fact, your view?

Castile was no thug. He was in his 30s and had held an honest job for all his adult life. He had no violent law violations on his record. He should not have died because his chose the wrong conflicting order from the officer to obey. He was shot for obeying the wrong order, the order to show his ID which was in his back pocket.
