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?

This was a bad thing to do I don’t know what this cop was thing, but he was outof control
It was live streaming on Facebook so the image was reversed. He was driving.
There was no mention of a tail light when the cop radioed despatch of the traffic stop. The cop was quoted he was pulling the car over because the driver fit the description of a suspect in an armed robbery earlier in the week.
He had NO carry permit so the girlfriend was lying. Its safe to assume he was not reaching for a carry card since he never had one. Facts are now coming out.
He never had a carry permit. Not only was his girlfriend lying its safe to assume he wasn’t reaching for his carry card.
The cops have stated he did not have a carry card. He was not reaching for that when he was shot obviously.
I figure cops were on high alert afraid for their life.
And cops were already in high alerts all over too because of black lynch mobs, even before Dallas shootings. The cops did not want to be killed.
Scott Anderson this is why cops were already on high alert too.
Read the other dude had a rap sheet all the way back to 98
Black lynch mob is going on. Cops on high alert with good reason.
Betcha he was going for his gun
