Of course it has. It's in the very first post of this thread - her original live stream. Hell, I even typed out EXACTLY what she said a few posts back.
The woman recording the video admitted that there was marijuana in the car. If he was around illegal drugs and carrying a firearm, he certainly wasn't a "law abiding citizen" like the NRA refers to.
In Minnesota, that's just an "infraction"--not even a misdemeanor.
The NRA believes the 2nd Amendment applies to whites only. It is a racist organization. They have not publicly defended Castile's right to carry.
Sounds like a "Racist" comment to me. I don't remember anyone saying he should not have been carrying, did you? In fact, he was given a permit to carry, from what's been reported. Have you different information? Why should the NRA defend a position that's not eve in question?
Nice twist you tried here, by trying to make an issue where there is none, but NRA haters do it all the time, so we are used to it.
I really get tired of the right wing websites that try to justify any action by police.
In this case, I think you have a cop who didn't use good judgment. Was this the only time or did he have a record of not showing good judgment? There are some people out there who shouldn't be in law enforcement.
I wonder how many other black men with a wide set nose were pulled over by those cops this month, particularly since the armed robbery on 7/2. I don't know that area, but I'd guess it must be dozens if not hundreds. It might be far-fetched, but maybe the car and other info matched the armed robbery bolo.
Far fetched? No.....but we will note.....the officer said (I'm paraphrasing) that he had justifications in pulling them over, not because it was the same model car, but because the driver had a "wide set nose".
Clearly these policies disproportionately affect poor blacks, can you draw a logical argument that can prove otherwise? Do you have any idea the expense and amount of red tape you need to go through in some of these places to purchase a gun?
The left has made the same arguments about voter ID and getting an ID is a cake walk compared to what some of these people need to go through to get a gun.
I also find it concerning that Castile was pulled over 52 times for minor traffic offenses. That seems ridiculous to me. In my entire lifetime, I think I've been pulled over 5 times -- and that's with 43 years of driving.
Far fetched? No.....but we will note.....the officer said (I'm paraphrasing) that he had justifications in pulling them over, not because it was the same model car, but because the driver had a "wide set nose".
And how could he even see that in the dark? It was 9:30 at night.
But Brown was killed at a distance of at least 30 feet from the officer.
He should have been shot in the store he robbed, and when he assaulted the store owner.
