“He resembled the suspect but wasn’t one.”
NEWSFLASH: If you resemble a suspect, you are a suspect!
C'mon, cut our FRiend some slack, he's on final approach, trying to land a plane ...

It was about 5 or 6 AM and a cop pulled up beside me and got out, hand on gun and asked me who I was and where was I coming from (or going to ... I forget)
I'd been smokin' dope most of the night so I knew enough about yes sir/no sir and applied that wisdom proportionately.
I was arrested, brought to the local.
I appeared before the magistrate later that morning.
The magistrate began by detailing a crime that had been committed the night before and explained I looked like the suspect the eye-witness saw, but while in a detective room (earlier, with one way glass) I was not identified, and the magistrate apologized to me.
I was released and I went about my way.
Just like we know to stop, drop and roll ... we should also know stop, yes sir, no sir.
Good points...
If the traffic stop was made because the police thought the driver matched the description of an armed robber in the area that might explain to some degree why the policeman was twitchy.
Marijuana in the car, a concealed weapon and multiple driving without a license prior offenses might explain to some degree why the driver was twitchy.
My goomba
oh, traffic violations-he probably was a secret cop killer then. That certainly explains why he might have drawn his gun first...on a cop.
How dare you bring logic to a "dumbfight"!
What am I missing? Castile clearly has thick facial hair extending from the sideburns in front of his ears; but the suspect in the robbery does not. Also, I can barely see the gun that is near Castile’s thigh let alone conclude that it is similar to the gun used in the robbery.
Black America is a powder keg WANTING to go off.

The prolonged sluggishness of the economy is a contributing factor IMO. Lots of young people out there suffering from the ongoing effects of the Obama economy. Not excusing any violence, just making the point the economy is bad, and not just for black youths.
How do you be a Crips gang member and hold the same job at an elementary school for 15 years? Some people believe everything they read on the internet.
Site?
Resemblance? Black male.
Gee, if I didn’t know better I would think the cops just harassed him because he was black.
He told the cop he had a permit. He DID NOT have a permit according to a report I read from the jurisdiction.
Says who?
His girlfriend said the cop asked for his license which is standard procedure. He was getting it from his back pocket and was shot four times and there was a four year old in the back seat. Some of you freepers have no heart.7
in a confrontational situation, having a heart will get you killed
Thank you.
Why was it confrontational if it was a stop for a tail light? I was stopped for a bald tire before and it wasn’t a big deal at all.
