That'll help their cause no end!
White police officers are far more likely to get shot by black people than white.

5th amendment being used as the US citizens want it for. To defend themselves against the state. Lets see if the WHITE lobbyist, still support the 5th amendment after the black citizens use their beloved 5th amendment.
Finally we might see a change in gun law in America. They argue they need to keep it to defend themselves against the government. Lets see if white racist gun lobbying america still support it now.
My thoughts are win ALL of those killed.

Exactly
Alton Sterling looks like his was executed if we are honest, BUT
this puts a different slant on it, the guy was still struggling, his arms were by his sides ( more of it in the link ), they police knew he carried a gun ( they knew him well by all accounts )
this was in with the other trending stuff on FB

No one can really say what they would or should have done unless they where there, but there were 2 officers? why not hold his arms? Why not pepper spray him? Why not use a taser? Why not a baton? Why not shoot him in the arm that they say was reaching for the gun?
It's all to common in America and I think it'll get worse ( if it can get any worse) before it gets better
Thanks god in the UK we have very stricked gun laws

If they took the guns off everybody this wouldn't happen. Maybe this is the turning point where they finally get the guns?
This could be the 9-11 moment in the war on guns.

Well there was certainly a conspiracy. They've caught three of the shooters.

I remember reading somewhere about how the fact that people can carry guns is what keeps a lid on things. Do you really want to pick a fight with the guy sat next to you in a bar if you know there's a good chance that he's going to pull out a gun?

I have every sympathy with the individual police officers killed or wounded yesterday but no sympathy for the American police as an institution. They are racist to the core, black people in America are still being treated negatively by the police and the justice system, this was bound to happen at some point.
I predict full on race wars over the next few months, this is only the beginning.

I think it's inevitable. Thursday night is the worst time of the week for something like this to happen, it allows a whole weekend of pure rage. We are now engaging in a vicious circle, the cops will be incredibly nervous over the weekend and this will lead to even more trigger happy incidents with blacks. On the other hand young blacks will feel emboldened and may seek to go out of their way to antagonise the police or even worse, kill them.
One more incident this weekend involving either a dead unarmed black man or a dead copper will send the whole country into meltdown, mark my words.

Denying these help perpetuate the cycle of a higher percentage of black kids being born into tough neighbourhoods, eventually becoming involved in gangs and gun crime.

Really. Every report I have seen says the car in which he was a passenger was pulled over in a' routine traffic stop' because it had a faulty brake light. Even if he was mistaken for a suspect as you say (source) it does not explain or justify his killing/murder by police - at all.
He had his seat belt on, was wearing a tee shirt and no coat (nothing concealed), his hands were in full view of the policeman, and was with his partner and her child.
You are usually the one to squeal 'deflection'. Well done with this one.

Yes, an interesting development that. I was struck by the almost nonchalant way the senior police officer spoke about it - IIRC he said something like: "the assailant was killed by robot bomb", as if a robot bomb was something in everyday use! The last time I remember such a device being used was during the "troubles" in NI when they were used to blow up suspect packages.
Something like that, the shooter was silenced by a robot. In the future, failure to pay your council tax could trigger a visit from an armed drone?
Are you seriously comparing the actual response to an armed sniper who had shot and killed 5 police officers and injuring another 11 in the USA, with the potential response of someone not paying their council tax in Britain ?
Really. Every report I have seen says the car in which he was a passenger was pulled over in a' routine traffic stop' because it had a faulty brake light. Even if he was mistaken for a suspect as you say (source) it does not explain or justify his killing/murder by police - at all.

He was carrying a gun, when he had no permit to carry a gun.
A worrying, but understandable philosophy within the US police forces is that in an episode of potential conflict, that their priority is to survive and go home to his/her family at the end of the day. IF that means shoot to kill, it means just that.
I don't know the history around that, but to go to work as a cop, with that level of fear and threat must be horrendous.
It's no surprise they are trigger happy and why younger black men appear to be more often the target, even though numerically that doesn't appear to be the case.

The link you posted (without bothering to check the veracity of the article or the reputation of the source website) suggested that Castillo was wanted for armed robbery.
It doesn't seem to me that you're that eager to wait until more evidence comes to light before jumping to conclusions.

Saint Anthony, MN, Police Officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser pulled over Mr. Castile and Ms. Reynolds because the driver, Philando Castile, matched the suspect profile in an armed robbery which occurred on July 2nd, at a convenience store, only a few blocks from where their car was pulled over.

Pretty much. They killed an innocent man because, in your words, "they thought he might've resembled a suspect"
Just reflect on the words in bold for a minute or two.

Why do you seem to be just looking for what you 'want' to see, rather than the whole picture.
You appear to be having a domestic with goslow, but you're responses bely your intelligence.
Do you really think that goslow, anyone on here or even the US cops think that they should go out and waste a muthaf**ka, to use your crass term?
The tone and content of your posts appear kneejerk, shoot from the hip (excuse the unintended pun) type of responses.
I assume you have a thirst for knowledge and intellectual debate, yet you choose to ignore posts that do not enable you to display your outrage.
Have you ever thought about what it feels like to walk in the shoes of a US cop?
Philandro Castile was carrying a gun. We do not know where his hands were or were moving towards when the cop shot him.
We have the words of his partner who has stated, that he mentioned he had a gun and that he was reaching for his wallet in the glove compartment. There appears to have been an armed robbery nearby not long before and he allegedly appeared to be similar in appearance to the assailant. With that in mind as Castile is reaching towards the glove compartment, knowing he has a gun but 'knowing' where it is - do you implicitly believe Castile or do you protect yourself.
It is a terrible situation to find yourself in.
A worrying, but understandable philosophy within the US police forces is that in an episode of potential conflict, that their priority is to survive and go home to his/her family at the end of the day. IF that means shoot to kill, it means just that.

Just reflect on the words in bold for a minute or two.
Again you are making the assumptions.
I'll ask you, do you think Alton Stirling was an innocent man killed by cops?
How do you know that Castile was innocent of that armed robbery? I'm not saying he was guilty, just that there is no hard evidence at the moment.
We do know, that he resembled the assailant and that does not mean, just because he was black.
How do you know that Castile was innocent of attempting to get his gun and shoot at the cops?
It does appear that Alton Sterling was reaching for his gun when he was shot. Sterling knew that he would have been found guilty and given 5 years for possession of an unlicensed firearm, so his thoughts appear to have been shoot the cops, run and hopefully get away with it.
I have no doubt that there are large numbers of guilty men and women, black, white, Hispanic, Asian and others who would rather shoot a cop than get sent down for their crimes.
It is with that background that cops may respond the way they do.
Pretty much. They killed an innocent man because, in your words, "they thought he might've resembled a suspect"
Just reflect on the words in bold for a minute or two.
Not my words sweetheart,yours.
They pulled him because he matched the description of an armed robber.
Something happened between castile being pulled over and lavish starting her footage.
As theres been no official statement as to what happened i'm keeping an open mind,you on the other hand have decided that the (non white) cop shot him because he was black.
Saint Anthony, MN, Police Officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser pulled over Mr. Castile and Ms. Reynolds because the driver, Philando Castile, matched the suspect profile in an armed robbery which occurred on July 2nd, at a convenience store, only a few blocks from where their car was pulled over.
' Police who pulled over and killed Philando Castile reported they thought he might have resembled a suspect in an armed robbery case.'
One from yours one from mine,both say the same thing
I don't think they say the same thing.
One says he matched the suspect profile
One says they reported they thought he might have resembled a suspect
To me these two statements have entirely different meanings. One is a statement of fact, the other is just hearsay.
Unless the suspect profile was "black man". Then they both mean the same thing.

Not my words sunshine, check your post that I quoted
For the sake of clarity.
I'm not suggesting that the cop shot him because he was black.
What we know so far of the cop's reason for stopping him, was the Castille had a broken taillight, was black and had a big nose.
I'm suggesting that that is not a reason to put four bullets in the guy.

Thought and might came from your link,which has a murdered by racist cops narrative.

And I'm suggesting they didn't shoot him because he was black with a big nose.
