The incident in MN should in NO WAY be tied to the one in Baton Rouge. Apples and oranges.

What happened in MN, IMO is a horrific tragedy. That cop needs to be stripped of his badge and charges ought to be filed. He belongs in jail.

OK - you proved that he had a permit to conceal - but have you even bothered reading anymore about the incident since it happened?

The driver resembled a robbery suspect ( there is evidence mounting that he and darling girlfriend indeed may very well have robbed an establishment ). The car was stopped because he resembled that suspect the police were looking for. The officer asked for his license and registration - normal - but then the suspect announced he had a permit to carry and was carrying a gun - hence why he was told to keep his hands visible which he didn't and instead continued reaching for his wallet.

And something that really bugs me - the officer was of Mexican decent - he was not white - but the libs want you to think differently. People are whatever race they want them to be to fit their agenda that it was a white cop killing a black man.

Thanks.
I'll see if I can find it. I saw it in another thread about the shooting.

I don't care what color a person is. If you are legally carrying , you must do EVERYTHING you possibly can to make sure that officer is at a point where he doesn't feel threatened. If he tells you to sing Kum Ba Yah, then you damn well better start singing it.


He reached for something after the officer told him not too. That was a deadly mistake.

I didn't mention Baton Rouge, because the case has nothing to do with a legal permit to carry. Sterling had an illegal gun and clearly would not have told those officers he was carrying. So that situation is not applicable to law-abiding people of color legally carrying, nor my question at hand.

did he not obey? you saying he disobeyed-- can you say the cop in the case was wrong?

So based your advice, people (all races) should fear the police. Misunderstanding his direction or not hearing correctly because of nearby traffic can lead to your death. Wow! No wonder people freak out at the site of red and blue lights in the rear view.

I realize that. but they're both being lumped together by the media and many others. Just because they happened days apart, doesn't mean they are remotely related.

as I said on my initial reply - IMO, the MN shooting was a horrific tragedy.

I can only comment on what I saw, and heard in that short video. The officer said he reached for something, after being told not too.

Show the evidence. I did to support my supposition. Otherwise your "mounting evidence" is meaningless.

Irrelevant to my post or my question, neither which presumes the race of the officer. My question is regarding the mental state of the officer and their actions when presented with the presence of gun.
