Verdict coming in Philando Castile shooting by Officer Yanez in minutes. 

Not guilty on all counts.

That was a no-brainer.  

For all intents and purposes, it's legal for cops to murder black males in this country.

if there was one case where i thought there might be actual penalties for the officer, it was this one. i'll never be convinced that yanez was justified in any way. this is a shame and a travesty. yet it's still not surprising. shit is fucked, yo.

Disappointing.

No defence. Just flat out ugly.

how that cop wasn't prosecuted for murder is beyond me

watch the cop on the right reaction,  at no point does he appear to be threatened until the other cop starts shooting.  He almost certainly had a better line of sight into the passenger side of the vehicle

My take is he felt most threatened by the officer. He bristles at the gun fire, is extremely nervous at the vehicle once the shots have been fired, and then finally takes the kid into his arms.

I usually side with police when it comes to dog encounters, but this one isn't good:

Both dogs, aged five-years-old, are service dogs for LeMay's children. Rocko helps LeMay's oldest child with a seizure disorder while Ciroc assists the younger child who has anxiety and mental health issues.

Coward.

Must be afraid of dogs and probably stereotyping they were aggressive based on their breed, which is why he shot without them really ever approaching him.

Here is a cop throwing a shoulder into a 17 year old and the crooked media applying their title.

Hard to tell if it was intentional or not, but here's the whole story from the "crooked media".

Those poor police.  I can't imagine their stress from having to deal with those skater punks.
