Black Man Bleeding After Police Shooting In Falcon Heights

The way that cop was acting was pure panic. So quick to pull the trigger. Honestly makes me think they just hand out police to the least competent people because this guy seemed to have hardly any experience. No one should have to be killed by the people who were put there to protect them in the first place. This just isn't fucking fair.I blame the Cops but I also think our standards for Police Officers are way too low. I know plenty of people who have flunked out of medical school or couldn't make it as a nurse or a Surgical Technician. But I've only met a couple who were turned away by the Police force.

Actually, the Police Union recently won a legal case where they are allowed to turn away applicants because they are too intelligent or score too highly on aptitude tests, the justification being intelligent people would move on to better jobs and impose a burden on the departments.The victim told the police he had a gun (which he is allowed to own). You'd think being that upfront and honest would help prevent this sort of thing, but instead officer jumpy here heard "gun", saw a black guy, and thought "fuck" and then shot him.yeah. i know someone that has a license to carry a concealed gun. and when i asked what he would do if he would get pulled over,said you let the officer know you have a concealed carry, and you have a license for it. i asked him what if the officer just thinks, "oh shit, gun" and do something horrible. scary to hear this scenario play out like this.

He just got shot for complying with the officer. Girlfriend is unlikely to do anything more than she's been doing and is frankly incredibly brave for recording the situation. If she steps out of the car now that the officer knows there's a gun, she'll probably get shot too. She could also be nervous about touching him and making things worse. Officer shot the guy, he has little incentive to help him (doesn't help his case though his duty as an officer should dictate otherwise). Little kid is a little kid.Yep, Philando Castile need not have died. They should have pulled him out of the car immediately, got him on the ground with his feet elevated, and started applying a tourniquet to his arm, and pressure to any other wounds to stanch the bleeding. Instead they let him go into shock and bleed out.

Being an African American man and seeing situation like Sterling where he was wanted by the law, and he ends up in death, I tell myself "Well I won't be in that position. I would never do anything that would require the officer to use force on me. Or warrant someone to call 911 on myself".hell no dude, you'll get shot if you do that. you have to basically announce what you are doing and do it all at 0.25x speed, or else they'll fucking shoot, its ridiculousYes. This is very true. Many members of my family do this already because we don't want to be shot. My parents will even call each other before the cop gets to the window in case anything happens. If I'm in the back seat of a car that gets pulled over, I will not make a move because I am a black guy.
