Here is an interesting fact about the Minnesota guy shot by police in his car, he was stopped 52 times by police since 2002:
When Philando Castile saw the flashing lights in his rearview mirror the night he got shot, it wasn’t unusual. He had been pulled over at least 52 times in recent years in and around the Twin Cities and given citations for minor offenses including speeding, driving without a muffler and not wearing a seat belt. [ABC News]
The officer claims (through his lawyer) that he pulled the couple over because Castile matched the description of a robbery suspect from a few days earlier. He also claims that Castile did not follow his order to remain still and had the gun on his lap for some reason which can possibly be seen in some frames of the video.
It’s still undetermined whether Castile actually had a CCP.
Yet another case in which a body camera would probably help determine what happened one way or the other.

Show me white boys who have received similar treatment as Philando Castile? Or show me what Obama said about the treatment of white boys vs. black people are the same? Let’s take Maryland for example…29% are black but those incarcerated consist of 72% black. Certainly it ain’t that black people are just born bad and deserve to be prisoners in prison 😯

White boys cannot find any better EEO than in Maryland with so many of the small black population in prison…Golf clap?
…unfairly over-represented in prison populations when black neighborhoods and black cities are so safe and crime-free.
Last time we looked at an intensity map of gun crime, it looked like a point plot of Ebony Magazine’s mailing list. Anybody remeber that website.
If Black Lives Matter, blacks had better start showing that they matter to other black… because until that happens, it’s hard to give a fuuck about it all when held to a double standard…
…but, then again, blacks are frequently held to a lower standard… so Black Lives Must Only Matter To Whites fits right in.
@Tbone, here is an example of a white person shot by police just like Castille:
Dylan Noble died on the last Saturday of June.
Police in Fresno, Calif., received a report of a man walking a downtown street with a rifle, but when they arrived, they instead found Noble speeding by in his pickup truck.
When they tried to pull him over, the 19-year-old led police to a nearby gas station and then exited his car.
“The driver then turned towards officers with one hand concealed behind his back, and told officers he hated his life,” the Fresno police department said in a statement. “As he continued to advance towards officers, an officer-involved shooting occurred.”
The department framed it as a “suicide by cop.” His family insisted that could not be the case, urged federal officials to investigate and demanded that video from the body cameras worn by both officers involved be released.
“I am outraged that the police would shoot my son and say that it is his fault,” Veronica Nelson, Noble’s mother, told reporters at a news conference not long after the shooting. “So please join me as I’m demanding justice for Dylan.”
Noble’s friends and family gathered for days at the gas station parking lot where he was killed — some waving Confederate flags and others chanting, “White lives matter.”
And soon, they were angry at their inability to garner more attention. At a time when dozens of police killings have prompted outrage, why hadn’t this one? Was it because Noble was white? [Washington Post]
An off-duty police officer fatally shot a man who was trying to enter his St. Louis-area home late Saturday afternoon, Missouri officials say.
According to police, 20-year-old Tyler Gebhard rang the doorbell at the officer’s Lakeshire, Mo., home shortly before 6 p.m. When the officer’s wife answered the door and refused entry, police said, Gebhard, a former high school football star, threw a 50-pound concrete planter through a rear window and attempted to enter.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said Gebhard was shot twice in the chest by the officer, whose name was not released. Gebhard, who was known to the officer’s family, was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Not our BONEHEAD, but one just like him.
So, explain this one. How was the poor, innocent black man oppressed by big, bad whitey? So oppressed he had to come over to the cop’s home, try to smash down a door with a 50 lbs planter, and caught two to the chest?
Wouldn’t he have been better off just “Unfriending” the officer? Or even just “Unfollow?”
BONEHEAD should watch The Boondocks. Huey had a good piece about avoiding certain “Moments.”
After much consideration of all possible outcomes, it seems the head of the FBI was faced with some terrible choices…
…and he brilliantly made the absolute best possible decision there was… with his reputation being sacrificed along the way.
History may smile upon him.
Let’s look further.
If he pressed charges, as he rightfully should have, it would throw the presidential election into disarray and likely cause a crisis of sorts in American government on a scale not seen since Watergate. The election would have been tainted and if Trump won, a large percentage of the population would not see his presidency as valid.
By openly saying the evidence shows she is guilty, but not pressing charges due to the most flimsy (and invalid) reasons, he allowed the election to continue… and let the voters decide if her illegal, unethical, and self-serving actions are important to the American public.
The election results will be seen as valid by most Americans.
If Trump wins the election and charges against Hillary will no longer cause any greater harm to the legitimacy of government, “new evidence” may come to light that builds a case which a prosecutor will happily take and easily win… and she will go down the rathole of history as an almost-was… likely with probation and a big-but-not-big-for-her fine… unless the public becomes more aware of her insider trading, Clinton Foundation dirty business, selling of favors and access, etc… and the public, empowered by a Trump presidency, demands her head.
If Hillary wins the election, it is unclear what might happen… ranging from nothing, with the true fix being in, to a different type of crisis concerning how she cannot get a security clearance based on past behavor.
The FBI is hoping for a Trump win… likely with the hopes he will bring a level of integrity to government that hasn’t been seen for a while… and the FBI has handed Trump a great deal of ammuntion for his anti-Hillary assault that will begin as soon as the nominations are decided and the real campaigning kicks off.
This will be interesting to say the least…
…and you had better all pray to whatever god you hold dear that there is no shady Bush-style election… as any distrust in the process will lead to blood in the streets.
Here is the latest on the Minneapolis shooting. Unsurprisingly as the facts come out it adds more context on what happened:
Minnesota police may have pulled over Philando Castile on the night he died because they thought he resembled a robbery suspect due to his “wide-set nose,” audio from police dispatch indicates.
On July 6, around 9 p.m., Castile was shot several times while in his car in Falcon Heights after he was pulled over by two officers for a broken tail light, according to his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds. Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter were in the car when Castile was shot.
St. Anthony police Officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser were identified last week as the two Minnesota officers involved in Castile’s shooting death, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The officer that shot Castille has the last name Yanez which means he is likely Native-American. The usual suspects are probably highly upset by that since they can’t use the racist white guy shooting black guy narrative. According to the 9-11 tape the taillight appears to have been excuse to pull him over to get a closer look at him to see if the two occupants in the car match the description from a recent robbery. That proves racism had nothing to do with being pulled over. The only question now is where was Castille’s gun at the time of the shooting? If it was in his pocket I don’t see how Yanez would be justified to shoot him?

In a Wednesday release, the Air Force said the first class of enlisted airmen is expected to graduate from RPA pilot training in 2017, and become the Air Force’s first enlisted pilots since World War II. The enlisted RPA pilots will only fly unarmed RQ-4 Global Hawks, which conduct high-altitude reconnaissance missions at up to 60,000 feet.
Hmm… A curious line, buried rather deeply in the article:
There is some speculation that the yet-unidentified diplomat was flagged for misconduct, South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported.
What sort of misconduct? Peddling meth, underage girls, money laundering? The article is deliberately vague, then segues into some rather unrelated material about how Cambodia’s king once studied film in Pyongyang.

Correct, black people don’t deserve to but criminals convicted of crimes do. Quit hating on the math, won’t solve anything.

Yes. Black people are picked on…
