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?

A long rap sheet and a legal concealed weapon only makes sense in Mn and to its governor.

Once he told the officer that he was armed he should have kept his hands in view and not reached for his license until the officer disarmed him. Tragic outcome, but I’m sure the man was informed in the concealed carry class on the proper way to handle this situation.
slopppppppppy ff
B******T
This is b******t he was a criminal and was wNted for robbery
Unfortinatly he did not comply with a lawful order given by a police officer. This is simple, folks… the video selfishly posted by the thug’s woman is after everything happened… the dumbass reached for his pocket where a gun was… I would not hesitate to shoot the thug myself!
making sure she got the video instead of helping him-stupid women
He was stopped because he matched the description of a robbery suspect for starters! The police officer was not white and he did not have a permit for the weapon either! He had 63 traffic violations and was a known gang member who reached down by his gun. People please wait till the facts are in before making judgement calls on these things!
