Crowd of marchers just spilled onto the freeway. Both sides appear blocked. I cannot believe law enforcement allowed this to happen. Again.
Yep. Not really shocked but outraged and sad. I couldn't even open this thread until now. I've been devastated.Totally in shock.....
I agree with you that way too many police officers are like this. But I don't think all of them are. The ones like Philando's murderer are definitely unqualified at the very least.Zero surprise. I don't know why anyone is surprised. The police in this country are not about law enforcement. They are a group of people who operate above the law and do whatever they want, with almost total immunity. They pull people over and search their cars without warrants, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. They beat, torture, and kill men, women, children, and 99% of the time they are not even charged. This is just more empowerment for them to continue doing it, and they will. Nothing ever changes in this country.

Juror perspective. Says state did not prove case.
"We thought he was an honest man, and I'm sure for the rest of his life he's going to remember this. He's got to live with it," Schultz said.
Schultz says there was discussion that if Yanez faced lesser charges, some of the jurors would have stuck with guilty. But Schultz stresses they had to follow the case based on the charges presented.

What the hell lesser charges would they have charge him with? This woman doesn't even understand that involuntary manslaughter is a lesser charge. :facepalm: They could have and should have charge him with murder. If a jury doesn't want to find someone guilty, no amount of evidence will be enough to find them guilty, and no charge will be less enough to find them guilty. This jury wouldn't have found a cop guilty of a parking violation, even if there was photographic evidence that the cop illegally parked, witnesses that the cop parked illegally, and the cop testified and admitted that he parked is car in a no parking zone. These type of people make cops an elite class of people in this country, who are totally above the law. If you want to commit crimes, and get away with it, all you have to do is become a cop.
How many cops get sentenced? I do see some going down for child sex crimes.
If ever I've seen a poor display of police training here it is. Damn I know I saw the original video of his actual shooting, where is it, not the GF stream, the real one when he actual shot Castile. I want to show my friend who just keeps on defending men in blue. This Yanez was as bad as one gets. I'm not saying he did it as a kill but he sure did it as an incompetent policeman! Please help if you can provide the real original video of the shooting NOT Diamonds stream stuff. Thanks
The only video to date was from Diamond's FB live. Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 20) Yanez's dash cam video is scheduled to be released.If ever I've seen a poor display of police training here it is.
