I'm not sure why you are so worked up over this.
If you conscience is clear, why the insults?

I'll refrain from responding to Goose.  Goose is going against his own number one rule of keeping all posts on topic.  I don't want to aid him further in breaking his own rule.

Absolutely there are some bad police officers! There is no place for them on the force and strong corrective actions must be taken to fix that problem.

But what Black Lives Matter does is push a narrative that is FALSE! The police officer in not the major threat to black males it is other black males. Go look at the FBI UCR. It's right there for who every wants to look it. Black Live Matter also pushes the lie "Hands Up don't Shoot". That is a flat out lie that never happened. The one lie has caused great damage to police across the country.  Screaming in the street that cops are killing as tho that is the major  threat against  black males. We all know it's not.

One other thing when you decide to fight the police in the street bad things are going to happen to you. If you feel mistreated. After the stop is over file a complaint don't fight the police because you will lose.

 

Did mr Castille "fight police in the street "?
I thought he was just some guy who got hassled for a blinker

 
You thought wrong. Not the first or last time.

Did you read your own link?
Castille was killed during a traffic stop, just as I stated.

I respect your opinion, T.
However, I am of the opinion that the word has become loaded, and I don't think of myself as easily offended.
We shall hold different views in mutual respect.

Interesting interview from NPR. Well, I found it interesting, anyway.
I don't offer it as "proof". I offer it as an interesting interview. I try to be open to ideas.

("NPR', and  "Columbia University" are probably loaded terms to some as well!
Liberalism may also be in the mind of the offended. )
