Philando Castile

It looks as if he is in the back seat...

He was driving. You can see the steering wheel at times. The child was in the back seat. Her mother was a front seat passenger.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Just so bizarre, all the way round...

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Initially this one looks bad for the cop.

According to one witness, 30 seconds from the traffic stop to shooting.

CCW holders, when you inform a LEO that you are carrying, keep your hands on the steering wheel and ask them how they wish to proceed.

Don't make any movement towards where gun could be.

Video from inside the car moments after the shooting.

yeah, a WTF kind of thing. from what I've read the guy was a good man and didn't deserve a shitty ending. caught in a shit storm that he didn't create as he was just trying to live his life and make the world around him better. shame on black lives matter and shame on that cop.

I wonder if we spend too much time filming and snapchatting on our phones (well, not me). When we pick it up to film, do we detach ourselves from reality, do we go from an active participant in an event to nothing more than a passive observer of an event?

Is that what was on display here?

 

[Lancecastor]

I look forward to the results of the investigation.

The one thing that concerns me is the almost sociopathic and mechanical detached commentary of the driver. It freaks me out every time they play some of the clip.

I think it's part of the Victimized Mentality....for some activists and downtrodden people, everyday events are ALL part of The Struggle...there is nothing else.

It's the same as talking to a guy who plays too much golf.

Whatever it was, it's really eery...

Shock will do that. I was totally together after I was told Byron was found dead. It took about 4 hrs and in a safe space before I lost it. Everyone is different.

A friend of.mind's husband held it together for 4 days and then literally collapsed and ended up in the hospital.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Perhaps.

 

[Noor]

You crash after you have done the things you need to do.

 

[pensivepoet]

the broken tail light is always a lie.

Blacks in a shitty car in a more affluent white neighborhood get pulled over.

I think cops should not be allowed to pull you over without a verifiable infraction having taken place.

They do these roadside checks up here where they block a road to check your safety inspection sticker...and look at your license... And ask if you've been drinking today....

Fucking bullshit. Fuck the police. I dont pay their salary to harass me like a Czech border guard.

I don't know
In American Graffiti, Milner was always getting pulled over, and then the poor sod got killed by a drunk driver.
Where's the justice in that?

You know, I will agree with you here. I found her detached commentary surreal and unnerving.

But then, both you and I have never had to function with a guy pointing a gun directly at us from a few feet away, with the knowledge he's already used it to shoot a loved one sitting next to you.

Add to that, with your 4 yr old child in the back.

Way back in the day, I was at a town celebration in a county known for ass hole cops.
(west hennepin mn)
The town got an assurannce from the county cops that they'd stay away.
When I left the town late Sun afternoon, I looked up and down the road. No cops.
As soon as I pulled out, a cnty cop was on my ass.
I drove perfectly. 5 mph under the limit.
I got to the cnty line and his lights came on.
I asked why I was pulled over.
He said, yes I was under the speed limit, but I was driving too fast for the conditions.
There were no conditions.

I don't want to live in a Police State, but to each his own.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the officer fired shots into a car with a 4 year old in the back seat.

That to me reeks of absolute panic on the part of the officer.

I was thinking it's a pretty common defense/coping mechanism. Didn't strike me as odd here at all.

Plus, when you know it's not the first time that's it's happened to people like yourself because you've seen it happen and you've read about it happening and now it's actually happening to you...

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yeah, you hear about that all the time "absolute calm" and such.

Actually seeing it, in real time, is still quite unsettling.

I am having a hard with the fact that they let the man bleed out from gunshots to his arm!

This is totally fucked up in so many levels.

I simply can't imagine this being a normal reaction. It's as if she has been completely de-sensitized. A cop just discharged four rounds into the passenger compartment of her car. Her boyfriend is dying in front of her. She easily could have been shot as well, not to mention her child. She calmly describes the scene almost like the way an announcer calls a baseball game.
She uses the phrase "No worries" when responding to the cops. She is utterly detached. I cannot imagine any normal person maintaining their composure like this in light of what just transpired.
I've never seen anything like that. I wonder if she will ever give an interview. I wonder how long she was with the victim.

Having been in bad life threatening situations before, that is normal. It is as if you are watching from across the room. It also happens when you get a medical crisis induced "sense of impending doom" You are not actively composing yourself, you are dead calm, it's beyond your control.

She has given short interviews. Their daughter is 4 hrs old so at least that long.

What are you referring too?
The victim did not live by the sword.

Not the first time it's happened. Bleed outs have been going on as a tactic for a long time. She wasn't recording all that for nothing.

No surprises here, Noor. Welcome to the world we already knew was happening.
