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?

Definitely mentally deranged behavior in those circumstances.
You probably need to do more thorough search before you comment more. Officers only want safety too & to go home at the end of the day.

She seems to calm for this to be real.
He was following the conceal carry protocol to the letter and got shot by trigger happy police who are afraid of black people

Truth and action my$#%&!@* Change the freaking headline to the damn truth. He was shot and killed while being approached as a suspect in a robbery. He reached and got shot.$#%&!@*happens when you do stupid c**p.
If cops are in the wrong; hold them accountable; But under the current story line; something doesn’t add up.
There are two sides to a story. I would like to hear this story from the very start. When a officer of the law tells you to keep your hands where he or she can see them.. DO IT. Officers are on high alert do to all the open borders, hate crimes, looting, officers being shot, and so on and so forth…. Officers have a right to go home too they have families just like all of us do. America has laws respect them.
