Pokestops sounds like something a couple does on a long distance road trip

You mean when they told him to get his ID?

Let me translate Bills bull shit : “I didn’t read any of the articles on either shooting but he was black so he deserved it”

Philando Castile had a concealed carry permit. Plus, he informed the officer that he had it and was fully complying with his requests. How the hell can you even try to justify his shooting? He did absolutely nothing that should have led to his death.

Yes, of course Philando Castile brought this on himself, what with matching the characteristics of a robbery suspect by having a “wide set nose”.

I think he might've been joking?

And who were they protecting when they shot Philando Castille the day before?

use ANY means necessary

Right, because it’s totally reasonable to give police more killing weapons when they clearly can’t use their existing killing weapons responsibly.

Fantastic. Living in a war zone has always been a life long dream. Thanks America for bringing Iraq and Afghanistan to the comfort of my own home.

In a situation where deadly force is necessary to neutralize a clear and imminent threat to the lives of officers and civilians?

You honestly have no problem with remote controlled death bots being used as law enforcement tools? This is the first time in US history it’s happened. We’re just going to accept it because it was expedient?

So this parking lot is in the middle of an open field? That’s bizarre.

Hmm, so it’s an elevated parking garage with clear lines of sight but police couldn’t shoot him? They had to use a remote control bomb?

It’s not a slippery slope, we’re already down the slope. This is a tactic of war used in Iraq by US soldiers. It is now being used domestically by law enforcement.

Well, it is a robot, and robots are used all the time to blow up ‘suspicious packages’. Most major city PDs have them.

Yeah that was kind of glossed over. Like, nbd, we just murdered this guy to death with a fucking drone right here in the good ol’ USA. Nothing to see here, folks.

I just know how SWAT teams went from ‘only deploy when it’s the most dire of situations’ to ‘someone gave us a tip this house was a meth lab.’

Which is precisely how you normalize the domestic use of such a weapon of war.

Because it represents a significant step in the militarization of civilian law enforcement. They’re no longer there to protect and serve, they’re there to protect themselves and take people out.
