Mikey Garcia ON Good Cops Bad Cops And Says Cop Was Justified Shooting Philando Casti

[Sweet Jones]

the cop obviously deemed him as a threat at that moment otherwise he wouldn't have shot him

You didn't answer his question.

Then explain to me how the guy was a threat.

Im not being unreasonable. Im asking.

in reality, he was not a threat,

the officer perceived him to be one though

Thanks for admitting that.

You say the officer perceived him to be one. Clearly he did. However, if his perception is in fact WRONG, why should he be acquited of any wrong doing?

And what good reason would a cop have to shoot someone before they even know that they are dangerous?

The 7 times at point blank range with no gun in sight is what gets me.

reasoning behind why they do what they do

police officers are put in difficult situations

many police officers are now scared to do their jobs in black neighborhoods and thats resulted in more black on black violence

you should direct your outcry to black on black violence where people are intending to do harm to others, not police officers who don't wake up that day thinking 'oh let me ruin my career and shoot a black guy whilst being filmed on bodycam or dashcam'

but i do understand that you see injustice so it is natural to complain about it

Wow so many experts, cant even see a right view from those videos... Ppl always expeculating...

[Pigeons]

wtf ??? The guy was reaching for what the cop asked him for, his licence and registration...

Also the cop was ****** and neglectful. How is the cop gonna say he was worried about the child and second hand weed smoke, but then proceed to shoot in the direction the child was sitting, not one shot, multiple.

Yes the cop did ask for ID and insurance. I think things changed when he was informed there was a firearm in the car though. I'm not defending the cop's ineptitude. I'm simply stating that the cop didn't set out to kill an innocent black guy that day. He was obviously scared, nervous, and unfit to be a policeman. But he's not a racist trying to kill as many black guys as he can. Thats just what the ******* media wants you think.

I advise anyone reading this, if you get pulled over and you have a gun in the car. Put your hands 10 and 2 on the steering wheel immediately after pulling over. Disclose everything to the police officer and make sure the officer allows any movement before you move. Dont casually disclose youve got a gun in the car while your digging for your wallet. Especially when youre black. In a perfect world it shouldn't be that way, but if youre black I suggest exercising extra caution since a sizable portion of your population gives you a bad reputation. How quickly we forget the two black guys that assasinated 8 cops in the span of a couple days last year. Thats why some of these cops are nervous and panicky.

Just my $0.02.

That black on black thing isn't a good argument. The black on black crime comes from regular people killing each other. They're civilians. It's terrible, but why would people care more about civilian on civilian crime than they would about people whose jobs are to protect and defend civilians killing them? Civilians aren't held to a higher standard. Police are. Or they should be.

i think everyone agrees officer acted incompetently

the sad thing everyone doesnt..you can see it by peoples reactions, posts, videos in social media.
