Two things:

1. The cop still had his gun pointed at them while the BF bled out in the car. I'd wager she really didn't have a choice. Had she'd made any other movements or even raised her voice, he might have shot her as well. At that point, it was about survival and making sure she stayed alive for her daughter's sake.

2. This is what it's like to grow up here in America. A reality we all have to be burdened with when dealing with the police, no matter how much we comply, there's always going to be a chance we are going to be targeted. Every woke black person is fully aware of it and when it happens, you either die on your knees trying to comply or you die "resisting" trying to protect yourself.

I wonder how you can say "black people are targeted" when according to REAL data black people are the Only group where traffic stop statistics show they are stopped at a lower percentage than whites or hispanics relative to their population? Reworded on percent population whites and hispanics are stopped at higher rates, blacks at lower rates, and yet blacks are "targeted". Can you explain this tale you keep telling Marvin? Blacks are also shot by police on at a lower rate than they participate in crimes. If they are "targeted" shouldnt it be higher and not lower?

Because after all the conclusion that police on a man with a gun threatening call really shot a guy for selling CD's and moving and that whole gun threat thing is irrelevent and not really worth mentioning was such a unique application of analysis and logic we really need feedback from the same source on why traffic stops on targeted people happen at a lower percentage than their population in our second largest state.

is tbone expat's personal vj editor? mods might want to keep in mind, if you follow a topic-the original un-tbone proofed comment is available to see..shameful, really. it's one thing to remove a bad word. but this is moderation aiding posters in harassing other members within the bounds of tos. just shut this thread down. since moderation clearly can't manage their bias.

They offer a yearly plan for mod assisted editing. It's only 39.99 per year. A real bargin. It's well worth the price. Don't complain if you don't partake. Also comes with 2 get out of jail free cards. Don't upset the apple cart. It's been too nice lately

funny, my plan didn't come with editing. for some reason mine comes with suspensions and removal of posts and ops locked without warning or much of a reason. guess i'm using the wrong hand making sandwiches. it's been nice, with exception.

I've served way more time in the VJ lockup than you have and in this thread all I'm doing is innocently posting stats. I would love to discuss your stats with you if you have any?

You are a newbie.

Hang around.

I am on the Platinum plan, invitation only.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

This may come as a big shock to some of you, but castile's girlfriend was a little artistic with her interpretation of the truth. I know, I know, these shootings always come right out of the gates with such accurate and verifiable information, which makes it so so unusual to find out the original narrative was not actually true.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/13/us/police-shootings-investigations/

At the very least she lied about him not being treated right away and being held overnight. I expect those who think she lied about nothing to just say she was mistaken because she was in shock.

Good luck!
