After you said I had a Low IQ?
Again, my sincere apologies. I need to work on my social skills.

Oh, I'm so sure. What were you thinking about? Whether or not I was protesting somewhere?
I was thinking about what it's like to actually think it's pitiful to be black and to wish someone else could live your life for a week.

Don't worry, I was at home because my mom wanted her kids to be with her and not driving around in fear that something would happen to us. I'm 26 and my mom is worried about me.
Then I guess it's safe to assume that your SheHateMe screen name was inspired by the movie and not your mother.

you should get off the internet if you want to work on your social skills. It would do you some good.

IIRC her screen name was inspired by that player from the joke football league where players could put whatever name they wanted on their jersey so he put HEHATEME on his.

better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 as the blue lives matter movement says.

I think cops have perverted the Justice Dept saying "it's better that 100 guilty men go free rather then one innocent person convicted"

To cops it is "it's better that 100 innocent black men get shot and killed rather then one cop potentially be threatened"

Gd forbid police accept the risks of their job. Guess that is too hard for them.

What do you think of these statistics?

the country is pretty great. However our strength lies in our ability to assimilate all cultures from around the world. That creates points of friction for the dumber less cultured members of our society (mainly midwest rural white people).
You're the worst part of the country.

It was actually inspired by a Spike Lee film of the same name that I DEFINITELY should not have been watching at the age I was. Funny thing was I found out about the HeHateMe dude after I signed up here.

It was the first time I was introduced to Kerry Washington :p

for the record I think "She Hate Me" was taken from "He Hate Me" (Rod Smart) of XFL fame. I'm pretty sure the XFL was before the movie.

Sure seems like this cop is 100% in the wrong from the limited things I've read and seen about this. The woman was much more calm than he was. I do wish she would have helped her boyfriend though, tried to stop the bleeding or something, perhaps could have saved him. Very sad this happened in front of his daughter. Cop will and should face punishment.

Officer is worried about her reaching for her boyfriend's gun.

I'm not at all convinced this was a racist cop killing some black person, but I do think it was a overly jumpy cop who completely fucked up. If he had been afraid of the situation, the better way to handle it is:

Hands out the window. Open door. Step out, hands visible still. Turn around, hands on the roof of the car. Disarm person and then continue talking. Return gun (unloaded) when done with traffic stop.

Being a CPL holder, I'd have handled this differently: if I am armed and about to deal with a cop, I have my drivers license and CPL already out and ready.

Yet there are other countries that very rarely use deadly force. We seem to have quite a few terrified, jittery officers that see lethal force as a quick solution to many perceived problems, rather than as an absolute last resort. If you are so willing to end another person's life, find another goddamn job.

Yes, but what do you think causes that?

When someone leaves their home to go to a BLM rally in Dallas, TX with plans to shoot police officers from the roof.... What do you think his thought process was? That's an honest question I have to sit here and wonder. Because if he thought "I'll shoot some whiteys and go home and get a good night sleep", you would have to be high as fuck.

I mean anytime I would plan to shoot it would have to be a life or death situation, because otherwise I would plan to die from either the backlash of the person I was shooting or the law enforcement.... Hence why I would never shoot.

I saw a news reporter showing police raiding the Dallas' killer's home... and it looked like a nice ass upper-class home... It was also pretty big so I can only figure he had a wife and/or kids. I'm sure he worked his ass off in life to get where he was. Was all that really worth RISKING or PLANNING to lose? I would immediately think no... The problem at heart is someone that answers yes to that question.

He was 25 and lived with his mom. That was his moms house. And he used his moms suv to get to downtown. Honestly the home looks run of the mill for the area. Houses in Texas are generally larger than in most other states, even the cheap ones. It wasn't the ghetto by far but it definitely isn't upper middle class by Dallas standards. Basically middle class in one of the lesser burbs of Dallas.

All of this being said, the Philando Castile shooting (which happened about a mile from my house) is not one in which I can find any legitimate justification for the officer's actions, which were preserved on video. To me this was a clear-cut unjustified shooting, and a man who was, by all accounts, a solid citizen is dead because he reached for his wallet when asked to produce his license and registration, after being pulled over for a broken tail light. It's a tragedy.

I hope I somehow end up representing the estate in this case.
What is coming out now is an entirely different story that the one we heard as narration on a video.

The reason the car was pulled over was not for a broken tail light. The car was pulled over because Castile matched the description of a man who committed an armed robbery at a convenience store several days prior.

There is no record of Castile having or applying for a concealed carry permit.

A careful look at the video will show that Castile had a handgun on his thigh and that it appears to match the handgun used in the armed robbery.

So, what's the truth? Perhaps not what you haven chosen to believe as you lick your lips hoping to benefit from this.

I'm going to refrain from voicing my disgust for you.

He's a lawyer, hoping to get onto a case for glory and money, there's no need to voice it.

That he's licking his chops on this, despite knowing absolutely nothing, despite relying only upon one woman's video, not hearing the officer's side, knowing context, or whether Philandro was reaching for an unholstered (and who knows if illegal or even whether he actually has a CCP), just shows how ridiculous he is being. I wouldn't doubt he hauled out his Jump to Conclusions matt for Martin and Brown also. Hell, Dorian Johnson told the truth from the beginning, right?

Why do you have to apologize to that well know lying dumbass.

Where are my apologies from it when it called me an old white dude living in a broken down dirty trailer? Where are my apologies when it accused me in public of sending so many nasty craps via PM yet unable to provide the evidences when being called out by me? Where are my apologies from it when it accused me of calling a whole group with nasty names and labels? And on and on.

You don't apologize to trash.

I doubt racism played a role in the shooting, given the cop is a minority of Latin American decent. Unlike the Lousiana case this wasn't a white cop shooting a black man.

ROFLMFAO. If what you posted is correct, THEN WHY THE FUCK DID THE COP ASK FOR HIS DRIVERS LICENSE? Unforgivable incompetence. I saw another video of this exact same thing. The cop asks for ID, the black man reached for his wallet and got shot. If you are a cop and you are too incompetent to realize that a suspect will reach for his wallet when you tell him to get his license, you have no business in the industry. I have seen enough to know that this police officer must be convicted of a crime. Manslaughter seems the appropriate charge.

If what you said was correct, the cop should NEVER have asked for an ID, he should have SECURED THE SUSPECT. Good god, this isn't rocket science.
