Look at this shit! The police in minnesota show no remorse for the murder of the Black Man in front of his 5yr old Daughter! These pigs think when they kill somebody Black that it's like running over a squirrel! You get more done if you run over a dog than a pig gets when he MURDERS somebody Black! God curse these worthless spineless cowards who would run if a gun is pointed at them! They don't want Black people to have guns coz' they're afraid that they'll get killed themselves! They specialize in shooting unarmed people! If a real war broke out, they'd be the first to run for cover or try an get out of the country! They are cowards of the utmost and their lives or worth less than nothing! God curse them and let them be served the same way they 'protect and murder!' INstead of taking responsibility for what they did they want to blame the governor for apoligizing for what THEY did! WHY HAVEN'T THEY ISSUED AN APOLOGY FOR THIS OUTRIGHT GODLESS MURDER THAT THEY ARE RESPONISBLE FOR! At least the governor tried to right a bad matter committed by the 'murderous police' better in some small way! That's why it's time to do away with police unions! The army doesn't have a union, neither does the navy, the coast guard, and the airforce! The police is an urban military force! They are not supposed to be unionized!!!
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota governor’s speech
saying Philando Castile ended up dead during a traffic stop in part
because he was black — and after five police officers were killed during
a shooting attack in downtown Dallas — has made law enforcement
officers across the country are distraught, angry and anxious, according
to the head of a national police organization.
“I think right now, the overriding emotion collectively is one of sadness, I think it’s one of anger and I think it’s one of resignation in the sense that I still have a job to do,” Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, told The Washington Post on Friday. “But there’s got to be a fear, a concern, that because of the job, because of the uniform I wear, I’m being targeted.”
Johnson also said that police, who have been caught in the outcry surrounding two fatal shootings of black men less than 48 hours apart, “feel unfairly painted with a broad brush.”
Johnson’s remarks came a day after the Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) made a forceful declaration in questioning whether Castile would have been shot had he been white.
“Would this have happened if those passengers, the driver and the passengers, were white?” Dayton said. “I don’t think it would have. … I think all of us in Minnesota are forced to confront that this kind of racism exists.”
Johnson said the governor “exploited what was already a horrible and tragic situation.”
“Whether race had something to do with it or not, I don’t know, because I can’t get into the officer’s head,” Johnson told The Post. “And neither can the governor.”
On Tuesday morning, Alton Sterling was shot and killed by a white officer in Baton Rouge — a slaying captured on video by a bystander. The next night, Castile, a 32-year-old school cafeteria manager, was killed in Falcon Heights, Minn., as his girlfriend broadcast his final moments in real time on Facebook.
Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds said on camera that Castile was legally licensed to carry a firearm and was reaching for his identification when an officer shot him.
“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,” Reynolds said in a Facebook video, which has since been viewed by millions. Castile died late Wednesday night in a Minneapolis hospital, a relative told The Post.
Early Friday morning, Reynolds demanded justice for Castile’s death.
“Today is not only about justice and getting justice, but it’s about all of the families that have lost people,” she told CNN. “This thing that has happened in Dallas was not because of something that transpired in Minnesota. This is bigger than Philando. This is bigger than Trayvon Martin. This is bigger than Sandra Bland. This is bigger than all of us.
“So today, I just want justice for everyone — everyone around the world.”
Minnesota state officials named Jeronimo Yanez as the officer who shot and killed Castile during the traffic stop Wednesday night near St. Paul. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the state agency investigating the shooting, said Yanez and his partner, Officer Joseph Kauser, were put on administrative leave from the St. Anthony Police Department.
