Take a video with a selfie camera. That's what happens
I just noticed something that will make you question shyt. So, its my understanding that steering wheels are always on the LEFT SIDE of a car, yet this one is on the RIGHT SIDE. Which would be understandable if they said this shooting went down in like Australia. BUT THEY SAID IT HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA, AN AMERICAN STATE.
It seems like they are trying to manufacture shyt at this point. And if so, when did they START manufacturing this shyt......
I mean, do we even have a clip of him being shot or just the aftermath of the shooting.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong, seriously. Because if I'm not, this shyt is highly disrespectful on TOO many levels...
EDIT: she used the front end of the camera. thats why everything is opposite
Another brother just got killed by the cops..his GF documents it on Facebook Live #PhilandoCastile

Thank god she was composed (or perhaps in shock) enough to live stream this. This is indefensible. 4 shots? And the cop is reportedly Asian, not white, but same shyt either way.
Hit reply on wrong person sorry
You are right, however we have to find the right fish to fry. As a strategy, it is always most important to not do what your opponent is expecting you to do. If propaganda is pushing us one way (raand we follow down that path, we will lose. That's why its important to understand their strategy so that we can optimally attack it. Chess not checkers. But we will see how the common method plays out...
See the edit in your reply post.

Great article about the license the carry and how it may be inconsequential for black people
The Philando Castile shooting just threw into question a central belief people have about the US policing system
The Philando Castile shooting just threw into question a central belief people have about the US policing system
The earliest details emerging from the shooting have led to questions about its implications for a central belief people have about the US policing system, as well as an assertion frequently posited in the wake of police shootings to justify the officers' actions: If you comply with the police, you won't be harmed.

The earliest details emerging from the shooting have led to questions about its implications for a central belief people have about the US policing system, as well as an assertion frequently posited in the wake of police shootings to justify the officers' actions: If you comply with the police, you won't be harmed.
- "I've always told my son: The key thing in order to try to survive being stopped by the police is to comply. Whatever they ask you to do — do it," Valerie Castile, Philando Castile's mother, said in an interview with CNN on Thursday morning.
"Don't say nothing. Just do whatever they want you to do. So what's the difference in complying and you get killed anyway?" she said.
Castile's girlfriend, Diamond "Lavish" Reynolds, who was in the vehicle with her 4-year-old daughter at the time and captured the aftermath of the shooting in a Facebook live stream, asserted in the video that her boyfriend informed the officer — who has not been identified — that he had a concealed weapon and a license to carry.
"He let the officer know that he had a firearm, and he was reaching for his wallet and the officer just shot him in his arm," she said.
The officer, employed by the St. Anthony's Police Department in the Minnesota suburb of Falcon Heights, near St. Paul, could be heard shouting expletives and screaming, "I told him not to reach for it!"
Reynolds responded: "You told him to get his ID, sir — his driver's license."

Police have not yet provided a detailed account of the incident. St. Anthony Police Sgt. Jon Mangseth did not tell reporters the reasons for the traffic stop, but he said that shots were fired at some point.
Chuck Drago, a former police chief in Florida with over 30 years of experience in law enforcement and government, declined to comment on the shooting since only the aftermath was recorded. He noted, however, that officers are typically instructed to clearly communicate their fears and expectations to a person who says they have a gun.
Police "need to communicate ... that they're still very nervous. 'Listen, I know you have a gun. Do not reach for the gun. Do not touch the gun. Where is the gun?'" Drago told Business Insider on Thursday.
"Hopefully the person will then say, 'OK, it's in my pocket,' or 'It's on my leg.' The officer will then usually retrieve the weapons themselves — and that's something the officer should be communicating to them."
Many on social media have expressed their dismay over reports about the circumstances surrounding Castile's death, despite his apparent compliance with the officer:
In another Facebook video posted Thursday, Reynolds told reporters that Castile was "killed for no reason."
He did "nothing but what the police officer asked of us, which was to put your hands in the air and get your license and registration," she said. "He was never a bad man. He was the quietest, most laid-back person. Nothing in his body language said 'intimidation.' Nothing in his body language said 'shoot me.' Nothing in his body language said, 'kill me.'"
She says she recorded the incident because she wanted to show the world that "police are not here to protect and serve us. They are here to assassinate us."
"I wanted everyone in the world to know how much [the police] tamper with evidence and how much they manipulate our minds," she said. "I wanted it to go viral so that people could determine themselves as to what was right and what was wrong.”
She added that nobody checked Castile's pulse after he was shot, and that the officer was "still standing there with his gun still drawn" after he shot Castile four times.
Mangseth, an interim chief with the department, told reporters the shooting was the first he could remember in the department's history.
"We haven't had an officer-involved shooting in 30 years or more, I'd have to go back in the history books," he said. "It's shocking. It's not something that occurs in this area often." Mangseth noted that some details of the shooting were still unclear.
He said later Thursday morning that the officer who shot Castile has been placed on administrative leave.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
No. But if I don't speak out it shows I approve of it. That is the problem. When Darien Wilson knocked Mike Brown or the cop who killed Eric Gardner you had cops all over America supporting them. Not one publicly condemn them. Police have support from the Police unions that has major pull in city politics. If my brother was a stick up kid and I didn't and don't say anything to condemme him people will say I approve 9f it or that I am part of it. That is the public perception of police. Y'all stick together thick and thin no matter what the circumstances are. That is why cops are no different from gangs. They have that blue wall of silence to stick together and not condemn they fellow officer.
She made it, I would hug her like family if I see her out in the streets.
Black Ohio cop posts emotional Facebook vid about Alton Sterling
A black Ohio police officer said in an emotional Facebook Live video that she’s ashamed to be in the same company as the cops involved in the killing of Alton Sterling.
“How dare you stand next to me in the same uniform and murder somebody. How dare you...,” Nakia Jones said.
Jones, a police officer since 1996 who is the first black female officer to serve in the Warrensville Heights Police Department, said she considered quitting the force after viewing the video of Sterling’s death.
"It bothers me when I hear people say, ‘Y’all police officers this, y'all police officers that.' They put us in this negative category when I'm saying to myself, 'I'm not that type of police officer.'
KING: Don't try to make sense of police killing of Alton Sterling
“I know officers that are like me that would give their life for other people. So I'm looking at it, and it tore me up because I got to see what you all see. If I wasn't a police officer and I wasn't on the inside, I would be saying, 'Look at this racist stuff. Look at this.' And it hurt me.
Nakia Jones, an Ohio police officer, posted a strong video criticizing racist police officers for the shooting of Alton Sterling.

"If you are white and you're working in a black community and you are racist, you need to be ashamed of yourself," Jones said in the video. "You stood up there and took an oath. If this is not where you want to work, then you need to take your behind somewhere else."
Her seven-minute heart-wrenching reaction eclipsed 2 million views and has been shared more than 150,000 times on Facebook since it was posted to her page Wednesday evening.
Sterling, a 37-year old black man, was killed around 12:35 a.m. Tuesday in Baton Rouge, La. by two white cops, Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II, who were responding to a 911 call of an armed man in a convenience store parking lot.

Alton Sterling was killed Tuesday in Baton Rouge, La. in a confrontation with two cops.
“He’s got a gun,” one of the officers cries. One of the officers then draws his weapon and fires five shots. Sterling, who was armed but had his gun in his pocket, died moments later.
The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into Sterling’s death, which has ignited protests in Baton Rouge.
Jones said, “I took an oath in East Cleveland that I would serve and protect my community by all costs, even if it meant I wouldn’t go home to my one-year-old daughter, and that’s what I did, and I did it with integrity and respect.”
Philando Castile shooting stirs social media outrage
“Put these guns down because we’re killing each other,” she said. “The reason why all this racist stuff keeps going on is because we’re divided. We’re killing each other, not standing together.”
Her video, posted at 5 p.m., went live four hours before the police killing of Philando Castile following a traffic stop in Minnesota. The aftermath of Castile's death was captured in a harrowing video livestreamed by his girlfriend Lavish Reynolds.
Now she needs to go to work and do exactly what she did in front of that camera.
Isn't that comforting
Stop acting like a snake and say what you mean weirdoMe and Wenzel go way back... or do we? No, we don't. Don't believe what I just said.
