    I, as a white male, have had a drivers license for 30 years. I have been pulled over 4 times in my life. 2 of those times I had a gun in the car with a CCW permit. All 4 times I was doing something wrong. 3 were speeding, one was rolling a stop sign. (I completely barely slowed down on a back road, totally ran it) I got 2 tickets in those 4 stops. The 2 before I had a gun coincidentally. Also both of those I was out of state, so there was no chance of me fighting it, so I knew I was getting a ticket. The 2 where I had the gun and let the cop know, I was let off with a warning. It absolutely blows me away the reality of a black man in the states. It is going to take an effort on all sides to help the problem though. We first have to admit there is a problem and stop making excuses.

      I lived in the US just barely 2 years ....l was stopped twice....both times there was nothing wrong. The first time it was around 2am, l could tell that the officer decided to follow me from side of the road. I made sure l put my foot on the pedal at 60mph, I honestly knew he was following behind,after a while he pulled me over...l immediately stopped on the side...he said to me: "you were doing 66"....l gasped from my surprise, when l started talking and he realised l ain't no American....l sensed a sigh of relief from his response.... basically....l responded by saying..."lm really sorry,this area is hilly,l may hv gone over 60mph by mistake"....then he said; "oh, which country are you from?"....l said, "Botswana"....then he said..."ohhhhhhhhhh man!! The diamond country, the peaceful one?" I said...."Yes Sir",with a smile & relief as well,coz now...l knew ticket is no more. He let me go,and told me how Virginia is nice & l should visit more often!......but man! I was sooooooooo scared,coz there were to many stories of police shootings then(2015). Saved by the diamonds....nah nah nah.... singing all the way to my destination....
      Second: l was in my locality. Ames,Iowa....it was a lady...she pulled me over,same thing...my accent, checking if l had driver's license & proof of insurance....we exchanged numbers...we are still friends now ...just friends by the way....

      Chris Warren when I lived in the states with my African father, we were pulled over so many times.
      tall& dark = scary & suspicious.
      he drove consistently 1or 2 mph under the speed limit. They pulled him over anyway. He was always polite and congenial and so they let him off "with a warning" for being two or three mph UNDER the speed limit. apparently, his slow driving to church with his daughters in the back seat was likely to be a problem for the cars behind him. (small town so there were no cars behind him) . We always knew what was going on. It happened so often. I witnessed it several times as a little girl during our 8 years in the states.

      I´m not black, and I know that my understanding might not be enough. But believe me, THIS is bullshit. The fact that this officer wasn´t convicted of murder.. it is.. beyond belief.. I´m stunned. In a bad way. This sickens me.
      I´m a swede, and I do feel angry from time to time because our justice system seems to "weak" sometimes. We do not punish people that commit bad crimes with enough time behind bars.. but in saying that. It means less innocent people get jailed.. and it also means that bad people (officer or not) get convicted if they deserves it. And this cop deserves it.. badly. He is a disgrace..

      I will probably never understand the true extent what you guys face but videos like this hit me hard. I live in a majority black neighborhood and whenever I video like this pops up it makes me feel sick that this could happen to any of my neighbors or friends for no reason at any time. What makes me sad is not the racism by the cop (that just makes me mad) but at the widespread exception of racism within the police and legal system all across the US. So much so that they dont even give the cops a 'light punishment' and instead let them walk free.
      But I dont know what I can do day to day to help besides just being a good person and supporting your rights whenever I see something come up.

      @KedarOthort 7 років тому +40

      That is wholly incorrect. If the cop tells you to stop moving after you've made that announcement, sure, but the cop had already asked for his license. As he was reaching for his license, he informed the cop he had a gun in the car. The cop told him not to pull it out. Since Castile was not pulling out the gun, he continued to pull out his wallet. He never disobeyed the cop.
      Oh and the cop PUSHED HIS GUN INTO THE CAR AND FIRED AT POINT BLANK RANGE, MULTIPLE SHOTS. Yeah, this was not a "fear for your life" moment. This was him being a racist shitbag.

      @KedarOthort 7 років тому +15

      Andre Knowledge357 incorrect. The cop did not have the gun pulled until he started to shoot. There was no span of time between him pulling the gun and starting to shoot. It also doesn't matter, there is no law that says you have to hold still after informing a cop that you have a gun, and the only thing the officer said was to not reach for the gun. Philando Castile was not reaching for the gun, so he did nothing wrong. He was reaching for his wallet to show the officer the ID because the officer had fucking asked for his fucking ID.

      kigozi muhammad If this is in response to the "experienced" part of my comment, I see what you mean. He has not experienced the brutal deaths black people have faced, and nothing he's experienced could compare to how cruel and unjust that is. But I do think think it's important to note that he was considered living proof of a crime in his home country, he lived through apartheid for a few years and that experience gives someone a different point of view, that is why I like to hear his thoughts. I in no way believe he has felt the pain of the victims he speaks about, but I think his ability to sympathize (like most people can) and speak out about these things is respectable.

    • @akaimizu1
      @akaimizu1 7 років тому +18

      Jennifer Chavez it also plays to why he actually has a voice. He's been an outsider and comes from that point of view, and sadly, that means people are more likely to listen to him than an American person of color, who actually lived their whole lives with it. As with a lot of things, it is the victims that usually don't have a voice. They are always dismissed as being unreasonably biased to the point that some will rather project a mental image that their words mean "I want to be treated as superiors" even when their real message is reaching for such a low bar as, "I just want to live." Apparently, they ask for that directly, nobody believes they mean exactly what they said. An issue that affects so many in that position including totally different demographics than POC. If there is one thing that is objectively true about many of us (humans) in positions of power, is the lack of empathy to listen to those most affected.

    • @akaimizu1
      @akaimizu1 7 років тому +3

      The only true fix, for the general empathy thing, is for minorities to not be minorities anymore. Because many are only willing to believe what is in their local vicinity and limited spots they spend time in. I believe a lot of them are good people, who wouldn't tolerate seeing this stuff in front of them, but have a low chance of seeing those situations come up . That's just due to obvious statistics of it being rare they see a minority. One of the majority is seen everywhere and thus people easily see them for the diverse people that humans, in general, are. Only then will people see true divisions of culture, instead of lumping them as a skin color, or other trivial difference. Considering a person born and raised in Cumberland and a person born and raised in Baltimore (in the same state), regardless of skin color, is likely to have as diverse a culture difference as someone born and raised in Scotland would be from one in Northern Ireland. Sadly, the only joining aspect of culture, as spoken for POC, is the part that deals with varying levels of discrimination. The only "culture" they may have in common.

      I'm Latino, grew up in a black community.
      Back in highschool I used to kick it with one of my best friends (who is black) every day in his front porch. One day police saw us chillin and walked up to us and told us they receive reports of a latino male and black male stealing a bicycle around the neighborhood. We didn't know what to say other than it wasn't us but they kept asking us questions until they decided to take us in. So he arrested us and wrote up a report that we did it. We got out 12 hours later when their was lack of evidence to charge us and mainly because our parents were threatening to file a lawsuit.

Why is it that a white person with a gun is treated differently than a black person with a gun? Is it because we have equal rights?
      Also, most people don't "determine [their] wealth". There is a very small percentage of people who experience socio-economic mobility, but that is not the reality for most.

    These cops have horrible training, Talk about conflicting requests. I need to see you ID etc but don't reach into your pocket. Whats next- Don't move or Ill shoot but put your hands above your head. Or why stop there- Police- if you Stop or move I'll shoot! He was nervous because he is scared of Black people because his parents raised him that way or he never went to school with any black folks. The officer handled that horribly at best or at worst forced the situation by giving him conflicting orders. I don't know whats makes me more sick this whole incident or all the idiots defending every murderous cop. I wish they had the courage to just say they hate black folk instead these mental gymnastic to justify every one of these murders.

      There are countries where police officers on patrol don't even carry firearms. Don't hear about many accidents from there, do we?
      The worst I heard in Czech republic is a cop who pretty much laid down on a protester (a girl who was super skinny) and then accused her of harming him, a very butch man, by dislocating his arm or overstretching his shoulder or something. It was an approved protest that simply crossed location with a march for the exact opposite cause. It happened because the march refused to walk around the few sitting protesters, the police was forced to try and get those sitting protesters, who were there legally, to move.

    • @VuNguyen-wn1sc
      @VuNguyen-wn1sc 7 років тому +14

      If you already watched through the dash cam video, I wonder how can you say this. The cop did not ask him for his ID after he informed that he has a firearm. The only thing the police said is : "Okay, don't reach for them." He did not demand anything from Castile after that sentence. Castile didn't stop his movement after that and made the cop panic. While I agree that the cop should act calmer in the situation, I think Jury decision has it's merit. 7 shot is a lot, but with a man in panic mode, anything can happen. I'm not saying that the cop is right to get panicked in that situation, but I can't judge him because I were never in that same situation as he is. He might not be the man for the job for sure, but saying that he is a murderer is just too simple of a conclusion.

      The actions show he isn't fit to wield a weapon as an arm of the state though. While it may not be murder.

    • @zorkmid1083
      @zorkmid1083 7 років тому +130

      Vu Nguyen What the cop should have said was "stop moving for a second" or "freeze" or "stop reaching". Saying "don't reach for it" can be interpreted as "don't reach for the gun" which the victim wasn't doing in the first place - he was following the cop's original order, to get his license, so in essence, he WAS following the cop's orders. The cop was poorly trained, and in his panic he gave bad instructions, which just made the situation worse. The cop was completely at fault.

    • @VuNguyen-wn1sc
      @VuNguyen-wn1sc 7 років тому +2

      Castile did give something to the cop after that cop ask for his license. While I'm not sure what that is, I would assume that he already did give the cop his ID. So there shouldn't be any other order after that except don't reach for it. I'm not denying that the cop did give bad instruction but at the same time, "completely at fault" is not the conclusion either. I can always say that Castile should stop and ask one more time if he is not clear about what he should do. I'm a gun owner and we have been taught that in a traffic stop, don't make any sudden movement and confirm with the cop every movement that you are going to make before you actually do it.

    • @VuNguyen-wn1sc

In my opinion they wanted to display blatant racism just because they could and they were pretty confident they would get away with it. It's rough out here for a brother, you gotta watch your back for the crooks and the police.
    My neighbor is a (Black) police officer that I talk to from time to time and I asked him what is the best way to let them know that I have a gun in the car with my CCW and he advised me not to even mention it, just let them find it if they do a search, and that's what I've done ever since.

    Here's my experience as a white man in Minnesota.
    I used to live in a crappy neighborhood which was mostly black. At first I didn't like them (still don't in that area) because they were gruff, used a lot of profanity, and were just different. That doesn't really matter, but it's how I feel. My first car was a Pontiac and I would get pulled over all the time. The police would even act confused or hesitant once they saw me as they would usually bark commands and intimidate before they even came up to the window. The Pontiac was the car of choice for black's in the neighborhood, that's why I got pulled over. I moved to a better neighborhood, never got pulled over. My friend who lived in the same city drove a Crystler, was white, never got pulled over. So driving the car preferred by blacks got me pulled over (I have no crime record, either violations of statutory). My other friend became a cop, showed me the manual they used as reference and I read the "table of encounter protocol" In all situation if they show the slightest of aggression i.e. are even talking loud, you escalate the threat level *for your protection* and the safety of all officers. You mix this escalation of violence protocol with the perception that blacks are hunting down police (which my police friend says is true and other people I would call conservative who watch Fox says is true, but the UCR from the FBI says it's not) and you get a paranoid, jumpy, escalating violent situation. This is from a pretty liberal State. Now that I have lived it within the black community I can say thank god I'm not black because I would most likely be dead by now. It's an institutional problem on the violent part which effects both white and black, but media presentation and perception make it a far more black problem that white. They are separate issues but have culminated in gross over representation of blacks being in danger for being black.

    As a minority in this country, I tell all the kids I mentor and all that that we don't have the right to act a fool. Go to a bar and get drunk and decide to walk home? Can't do that. Pick up a toy gun in a Walmart? Can't do that. Go out to the corner store to buy skittles and an ice tea in your hoodie after dark? Can't do that. All things that a young, white man could do without even a second thought.
    I grew up in a mainly white town, and there were a handful of times my friends and I would be walking home from the local bar, goofing off, roughhousing, etc - only for cops to stop us and make sure I wasn't robbing my white friends. If I was walking home alone, in the mainly white suburbs, and I showed the least bit of swaying while walking while a cop drove by? Got stopped the few times that situation came up as well. I stopped drinking when I was 25 because I didn't need the hassle of every (predominantly white) stranger wondering if I'm sort of menace when I'm out in public and having a good time.

    • @eschatological
      @eschatological 7 років тому +20

      Considering the sources he's informed by, yes, I do think it's dubious. If his trusted news sources are willing to lie and dissemble and be outright crazy nutjob conspiracy theorists (Breitbart, another one of his subscriptions), I find it more likely that he'd lie and dissemble.
      Now, obviously I do think there's an issue with class in this country too, but to try and almost "whitewash" racism into classism so as to avoid addressing the real problems people of color face in this country is unacceptable. The two discussions go hand in hand, one does not replace the other.

Anyone can put a video on UA-cam and lie to you. Stop believing the internet and read something from established sources. They're actually fact checked and held accountable by law.

    • @eschatological
      @eschatological 7 років тому +11

      Again, study after study has shown black people don't commit crimes at a higher rate than white people. They are incarcerated in higher proportion, but that's just indicative of the racial problem of the justice department. Black people are more heavily policed than white people, on average, are arrested more for similar infractions, and given heavier penalties for those infractions.
      Colin Flaherty is a hack, and his research is thoroughly flawed. Again, your source is ridiculous and not recognized as valid research. The only people who conflate his views tend to be conservative pundits trying to prove their own point, which in and of itself is flawed.

      Measly (Your name is very suiting btw), if you noticed the words of Micheal here, you would see the use of "A little more"..
      Which doesn't mean Trevor has become Jon Stewart yet.. It only says that, in Micheals opinion, Trevor hit the old tone of the show better than he has usually done.
      Furthermore, the use of "a little more" could be said to show that you and Micheal share a similar view on the show and it's decline since Jon left us.
      If you read.. Micheal never says the quality of the show hasn't dropped.
      You should really train yourself to read and fully comprehend a statement before you start bashing it.
      It's funny how... You bash Trevor saying "Noah doesnt care about facts, just about pushing his liberal narrative in everyones face and calling all who disagree with him racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other buzz word." and the very FIRST THING YOU DO, is write wrong without actually understanding the message you are reading. You only percieve something and immidiatly jump the gun.
      Please you Measly little shit, take a step back.. Look at yourself, what you have become.. And re-evaluate your life decisions.
      And maybe,,, next time you see someone you think you disagree with,, Stop up for a minute... re-read the comment. And if you STIL think you disagree with this person.. Take a second to think about weather or not you really wanna put down a hateful string of words....

I truly believe we will change the world one moment at a time! Be strong! Thank you for fighting the good fight with your beautiful soul!

    I wish we could have a presidential candidate who'll implement the law for cops to not carry guns, just like cops in England. This is getting out of hand.

    All I'm gonna say is that the decision by the jury makes me sick... 99% of the people I've seen the comments of said that the officer was at fault and that the guy should be alive (even if some argue that both parties were st fault). How could anyone not see the mistake this cop committed. I know he panicked and he didn't have the intentions to kill the guy when he first got out of his car but he did make a mistake and now an innocent is dead. He should face some sort of prison time or something in the legal limits.

    Trevor, you are so on point. I think it's brilliant that you pepper in a little humor while talking about such a significant cultural problem.
