I’m so devastated and disgusted right now I can’t even muster the energy to write more words about the police execution of Philando Castile yesterday evening in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
I believe it is your duty as an American citizen to watch this. The entire thing. It’s soul crushing.
My thoughts, prayers and solidarity go out to his friends, family and everyone else in the life of this young man who was killed by the state for no good reason.
RIP.
In Liberty,
Michael Krieger

May Philando Castile RIP. and our prayers go out to the Castile family during this time of loss. God bless you.
Our prayers go out to the family of Alston Sterling and his children.
If what this woman is stating is true, then that police officer has to be charged with homicide, and this incident must not be “swept under a rug.” I have a concealed carry permit also, and would hate to be treated like this poor man was. What a shame.
Took me a while to stop bawling like a child. This has got to stop. It would appear that instead of taking assault weapons away from citizens, we need to take them away from the police as they are incapable of using them responsibly.
This is an American tragedy…
Clearly this cop does not have the emotional capacity to handle the awesome responsibility of policing and firearms.
You are absolutely correct!
The tragic irony is that the man carried a gun for his personal safety. He did everything legally required of him: getting a permit, telling the officer he is carrying a gun and has a permit, and obeying the officer’s commands. He got killed anyway, because the officer panicked at the mere mention of a gun.
A second bystander video of the Alton Sterling murder has come out: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/06/us/baton-rouge-shooting-alton-sterling/index.html
What too few Americans know is that the Department of Homeland Security (sic) is giving Israeli training to more and more police agencies across the country: http://www.globalresearch.ca/u-s-police-routinely-travel-to-israel-to-learn-methods-of-brutality-and-repression/5473282
This and the militarization of our police should make it clear that police are being infused with the mindset that each of us is a potential enemy.
Tom is correct, these are officers that cannot handle responsibility and cannot use common judgement. Secondly, you don’t shoot citizens for selling CD’s. Next thing you know, they’ll be shooting AVON Ladies/men!
Mr. Castile followed the rules, hope the 2 officers get a lot of time behind bars! We can send them a one year subscription to “Outdoor Life”.. What do you think guys and gals?
On both of the recent police shootings there may be more to the story than what you were able to watch. Both videos have to be put in a larger context of before the video and the motive for the police. A good objective judge has to see more than one side. I refer you to the video put out by Stefan Molyneux called The Truth About The Alton Sterling and Philando Castile Shootings

After seeing this video judge for yourself
