“Riding Dirty” The Curious Case of Philando Castile – Police Shooting
Listen up. Does racism exist? Of course. Some whites hate blacks. Some blacks hate whites. Some people hate everybody different. But when a tragedy happens like the police officer shooting of Philando Castile, it's important to make sure you have the whole truth and don't jump immediately to the evil cop conclusion.
We've heard all about how Castile was targeted for a traffic stop because he was black and that he'd been arrested numerous times for minor violations. What we were NOT told is that an armed robbery in the same vicinity where Castile was stopped occurred a few days earlier, that Castile matched the description of one of the perpetrators, and that the police had received a bulletin the day before about the suspects with the video so they were on alert.
