Quote:1. It's been widely reported that he owned a gun and held a concealed carry permit.

 

2. Mr. Castile was very much alive coming into the encounter. That provides pretty strong evidence that his owning and carrying hadn't given any of the 31 previous cops reason to kill him.

 

3. "Black man with a big nose" is all that was given. That's it. No description of clothes, no description of a car. Show me evidence that he reached for a weapon instead of reaching for his wallet as he had been instructed to do.

 

Again, and I know this is hard for you to wrap your head around, but I never said it was racial. It clearly wasn't. It was a gross abuse of power and second degree murder, but at no point have I said that it was racially motivated, because it wasn't. Not every white cop on black male incident is about the skin color of those involved. In this case, it is about a pig who had no business carrying a gun murdering someone over what couldn't even have been described as "mistaken identity" at that point.

 

The police are bad. I'm actually headed out to buy myself a gun first thing in the morning. After a safety course, of course. The murders of two men followed by the murders of five officers have convinced me that it's time to be able to protect my family and myself from anyone who enters this house intending us harm.
