First off, I want to say that I am not a conspiracist in any way. Never in my life have I ever supported any of these modern conspiracy theories in regards to subjects like 911, Newtown, or the the Boston bombing. I always shake my head and laugh whenever one of my friends or some co-worker buys into these conspiracy theories.
With that being said, I 100% think this entire story is complete BS. The video is so completely ridiculous that it's hard to believe that anyone is taking it serious. I have no idea why this incident was created, but I have no doubt it's fabricated. Everything from the woman's awful acting, to the things she says or the manor in which the video is filmed points to the fact that this entire incident is not at all what it appears to be.
It was real. I'd say the conspiracy here is that the cop wanted to shoot a black man and the BLM people are the ones wearing tin foil hats over that claim.
What you had was a cop that shot a man, a man that probably didn't display the best judgment and may well have errantly played a part in his own death. Did he clearly speak when addressing the officer, did he neglect to get his license out immediately before the officer approached, did he keep both hands in plain sight? We don't know. The cop is to blame for over reacting and shooting in fear and may not be psychologically suited for the profession.
Everyone is getting paranoid and acting so idiotic. But look at our leaders, they're leading the way with this " creeping idiocy".

Very concise assessment of the entire debacle.
A broken tail light leads to the death of someone, perhaps not being the sharpest knife in the drawer but nevertheless, attempting to comply is something that should be of concern to all citizens; not just the white or black ones.
So much ratcheting up of polarized fear along two very predictable lines has inexorably led to these events playing out over and over again.
So much fear has been nurtured in the U.S. these events can but increase in frequency until enough voices are raised with "enough is enough"!
Sadly, my particular fear is you're in for another year of the race riots and lawlessness of the past that will once again prove futile towards any form of permanent resolution.

The bolded part is a bit hard to do...
It is my understanding that the victim told the cop he had a concealed carry permit (as they are required to do), then he said "I'm getting out my license". Most people have to reach into their pockets to get their license so their hands would not be in plain sight - especially in a car.
The cop was wrong.
And it was real. I think that's the eeriest thing about the video. This is how real life happens. It doesn't happen all dramatic like on a tv show or movie.
Yes, every controversial incident is fabricated by the government because they want to take pathetic losers stockpiles of guns. Nothing is real or has any value other than your guns.
The Alton situation was probably fake. But considering that this was a Facebook live event, i was probably real. See in all of these other cases, they love to be able to bring up the guy's criminal history. But a guy with no criminal history got murdered. He doesn't fit the usual profile. And guess what, now we are starting to understand that police brutality is a real issue in American society.
The only thing unreal about the incident is his name.
Philando Castile? That's a new one.
