Because it would be the right thing to do, if true. Imagine that.

The "right thing" to do, would have been not to shoot him.
Let's just go with unnamed sources from now on. That's good enough, right?
Probably so, but not the point of discussion.

It's the ultimate point of the discussion.
But in regards to your obsession with this one small aspect: he was a law-abiding citizen, and by all accounts given, a CCL holder. Nothing has been stated to the contrary. If he wasn't a CCL holder, the cops would have absolutely have said it within hours. It would have made them look better.
Your obsession with the police giving an official statement that they fucked up and killed a law-abiding citizen isn't going to come. They are already going to be sued out the ass for this, why would they publicly admit to their fuck up?
No, it's not the ultimate point of the discussion. Transparency in government is a much more important point. The public has the right to know a simple fact such as whether the individual shot and killed by a cop held a valid CCL or not. I assure you it is an important fact, and I see no valid reason to keep the truth hidden from the public.

Even if he did not have a CCL, which there is no reason to believe he didn't, that doesn't justify extrajudicial killings. The penalty for illegal firearms in MN is less than 90 days in jail, not 4 bullets to the chest.

Two excellent articles, including one that shows that the police department in question may have had issues with training in regards to lawful firearms carriers:

You have a thick head. I don't know what else to tell you.
Funny, I was thinking that about you, and some others here.

Kudos to the SAF for coming out in support of Castile and the rights of all law-abiding gun owners.
The NRA's silence on this shooting reinforces my refusal to join the group that I see as having racist origins.

Easy for you to say.
You have no idea how dangerous it is to walk up on a vehicle. Add to that they could (legally) have a concealed weapon... but feel free to pass judgement from the comfort of your sofa.

The sheriff's office that toubob (a racially motivated screen name) is using to try to claim Philando Castile didn't have a CCL, posts a link to the news report that says that he did.

Pretty clearly shows the racial bias of the officer in question.
The robbery that the officer allegedly was referring to was committed by two men. Not a man and a woman, and especially not a 4 year old child.

First off, he's lying and he knows it. I was full-time top management. I got sick and almost died and went into retirement. After a while they begged me to come back part-time and help them unfuck the night crew. That is what I do. In a couple of years when the Queen retires, I too will retire agains so that she can travel. I no longer want, desire, or need the stress and hassle of my old job; they new person is doing just fine with it.
Throb is a piss-ant little hater who has this huge stack of half-truths focused on me which he thinks just devastates anything I have to say on any subject because ad hominem is usually the only tool the Left has in these discussions, they have their mythologies and as such need no facts other than those they can cherry-pick from the same sources that disseminate their mythology.
I've told my story several times, and like chipbutty who clings to her sub-human [sic], he refuses to get it right, he's made a mythology of his own and placed me in his pantheon...

Look, I posted to a link where they had the transcription of the cop's radio transmission right before the stop. This is like the Michael Brown case; a lie is being repeated endlessly in hopes of making it truth, to wit, the only reason that there was a stop was a broken taillight when the real reason was a resemblance to robbery suspects from a fresh robbery. This does not exonerate, but also goes to the state of mind of the cops.
Not one person paid a single bit of attention to this information because it did not fit "THE STORY."

Really? This is your basis for racism on the officer's part? Sounds more to me that the officer was repeating back the information that dispatch had given him based on the information provided by the robbery victim(s). That's not racism sparky, it's communication.

I'm told that workin' in a warehouse can be a bit debilitatin' during the hot summer months, especially when you are obese, in your late 50s and have a defective heart valve like AJ claims. Just ask him.
Personally, I've never worked in a warehouse.

I agree. A person does what they need to do.
AJ spoke down on me for years while I was fabricating and working construction. I was a stupid welder. Fuck him and his weak heart. He earned the steamy warehouse.
