The methods used by police officers when detaining suspects has been the subject of much scrutiny over the past few years. With incidents like the deaths of Freddy Gray, Michael Brown and Eric Garner stirring controversy and even violent outbursts from groups like Black Lives Matter and the African American community as a whole, the subject of police brutality is one that tends to stir contention.
And after the girlfriend of Philando Castile filmed the death of her boyfriend by a police officer in Falcon Heights, MN, while streaming it to Facebook, that outrage is once again rising.
In a video you can watch on the next page, you can see the whole thing go down. Notice how the demeanor of the police officer isn’t exactly one of somebody who has it under control. This leaves two questions. Does this keep happening because police officers are scared? And is this going to incite more riots, like the ones that took place in Ferguson?

Race baiting,and 5 cops are dead because of this liar…..
Man was carrying an illegal hand gun. The police officer told him not move, he did. Sorry, that it was in front of his daughter, but he had no one to blame but himself.
The way the seat belt is hooked looks like he is the passenger. Why would the cop ask for his ID? Something wrong with this picture.
He just robbed a store 30 minites before this happen media not showing that
they lied about these two. they were suspects in a armed robbery and he did not have a permit to carry. this officer would have ended up dead by these two. she lied on facebook about him being a good guy
Looks like the steering wheel is on the right side of the car.. And she is pretty calm for what is happening!
The video starts 2 minutes after initial encounter in which you only see what she starts to video,you don’t hear or see from the beginning of what started encounter.and is it only me or that hears how nervous officer was knowing driver had a weapon.you moved he shot,that’s what happens when a split second decision is made.it sucks that he died over a broken light and was a probably a good guy
Listen I don’t agree with some c**p but what’s the story behind it
would it be any difference if the cop had killed him on a back road,or does reporting it like you news freaks do sale more news
Michael Albrecht you got me on that right now, but this man did not posses a legal conceal carry permit. He was pulled over because he matched the description of a man who robbed s convenient store 4 days earlier. You look at the picture of the robber in the video, dreadlocks, goat tee beard, hair cut exactly the same cut close around the ears and dread locks in rear. The conceal carry was bogus. He was s suspect and he failed to do exactly what they teach you to do in a conceal carry class. Once pulled over. First and Foremost keep
You hands on the steering wheel in plain sight at all times. Tell the police officer first thing that you are concealed carry without ever removing your hands from the wheel. Secondly, like I said before, this man Castile was s local and there is absolutely no record of him ever applying for or purchasing a conceal carry.
