I was born in Chicago and grew up in Minnesota. I’ve lived on the east side of St. Paul for over 18 years. About six years ago, I had become very close friends with Philando Castile because we both got to know each other. We both worked at St. Paul Public Schools together. I went to fix the machines at his school so we got to know each other that way. On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was stopped by a police officer from the city of Falcon Heights for a traffic stop. Philando honestly disclosed that he had a gun and a license to carry. After disclosing, the officer shot and killed Philando with his girlfriend next to him, and their baby in the backseat. The death of Philando shook my world apart. I knew that I could no longer stay silent to continue to accept this norm. This norm that as a black man, even if I obey the laws, I will still get shot and killed by the law enforcement that is supposed to protect me. After this wake up call, I knew that I had to do something about changing the policies that impact us all and that is why I decided to have a public life, and to run to represent my hometown of 67A.”
Sounds like a good man

Too bad his friend got killed by the cops. I'm not sure how that went down but it doesn't seem like it was justified. I really don't know what anyone was thinking or doing.
But this guy, John Thompson, is a complete asshole.
Did the people in that neighborhood kill Philandro? Of course not. Get the hell out of that neighborhood and save your threats and obscenities for someone causing real harm.
Sometimes shit happens. Yes, even bad shit. Don't make things worse with your racist, anti-police bullshit. The police didn't kill Philandro. One cop killed Philandro.
Go home and think.

Why are you not sure of how it went down when I just fucking told you? Are you illiterate?

Last thing you need to do is think. That ship has sailed. You need to read as much as you possibly can that doesn’t have to do with your white supremacy narrative
Just because somebody says that's what happened doesn't mean that that's what happened. Did this case go to court yet? That's what courts are for. To determine what happened. Some guy with an opinion doesn't mean shit.

Try responding to the rest of what I wrote. You might have to think a teensy weensy bit.
