Philando Castile was shot 4 times by police while reaching for his requsted ID and died.

It's quiet on both these cases. :smh:

Dont know about the Alton Sterling case. Strangely, its hard to find updated information about that shooting. But theyre supposed to go to court over the Castile case in the future.

As for the BLM protesters, those "Blue Lives Matter" shootings killed some of the momentum. And that was by design. But imho, a lot of the protesters wouldve fell back regardless. A lot of the people feeling sorry for people like Trayvon, Jordan Davis, Alton, Philando etc, especially the NonBlack people, just jumped on a "hashtag bandwagon". Many arent willing to sacrifice what theyve gained from Black folks suffering in order to save Black folks. But thats just my opinion....

Nationwide change will take some time, but in the mean time the families of both of these Brotha's need to preparing to sue for misconduct. Im sure theres plenty of good lawyers that wil help them out.

That Sterling murder was on video though. Body cams, security cam, and cell phone video...and these racist cacs and their confirmation bias saying he was reaching for a gun, holding a gun, shooting the gun. I swear to God bro, I try really hard to not have hate in my heart...but these cacs don't make it easy.

I give Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown credit. They arrested him quick. This happened about 2 miles away from me.

The cop that shot Philando is already back at work and the Police Chief that let him back conveniently took vacation to avoid questioning.

Protesters, Castile Family Upset That St. Anthony Officer Back On The Job

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The family of Philando Castile says they are upset that the officer who shot and killed their loved one is back on the job.

Castile was killed during a traffic stop in July. The officer responsible, Jeronimo Yanez, returned to work Wednesday.

Sign-carrying demonstrators blocked the street in front of the St. Anthony Police Department in protest of Janez’s return to work.

“I am a little disgusted I think its disrespectful, disrespectful to the uniform, disrespectful to the family,” Philando’s uncle Clarence Castile said.

The family of Philando Castile says the wait for justice for Philando got that much harder.

“He gets a chance to go back to work and my son will not get that chance, to go back to work,” Philando’s mother Valerie Castile said. “My son was a humanitarian. He cared about people and he loved his job. He’ll never get a chance to go back to work, but [Yanez] will, and I think that’s disgusting.”

Valerie and her brothers Clarence, Tracy and Greg all feel Yanez should not be allowed back at work.

“We just simply don’t believe that he should put on that uniform at such an early stage, when there have been no decisions made on what’s going to happen to him,” Clarence Castile said.

“It’s another slap in the face. It’s directly saying, ‘It’s business back as usual. We’re going right back to what we been doing,'” Greg Castile said.

The Castiles say Yanez’s return to work not only sends the wrong signal to them, but to a community that is rallying for justice.

“At this point you’re almost giving the impression that nothing is going to happen, that there is not going to be any justice. That’s the way we’re feeling right now,” said Valerie Castile.

Protesters stood in front of the St. Anthony police department demanding Yanez to be fired and prosecuted for what they say is murder.

“They need to be that’s what they do their voices need to be heard as well,” said Valerie Castile.

The family supports the protesters and even joined them as they spoke with officers about their concerns.

“When the millions of people that saw Diamond Reynolds’ video on Facebook, and when they saw that and saw Philando die, a part of them died too. So a part of millions of people died right along with Philando,” Clarence Castile said.

This family hopes that which binds protesters and family continues until Justice is served.

St. Anthony’s police chief was not at work Friday and could not be reached for comment. He has stated his support for officer Janez publically, the family disagrees with his stance.

The Castile’s say they are looking forward to Sunday when Central High School will hold a fundraiser in hopes of establishing a scholarship in Philando’s honor.

The Minnesota police officer who shot and killed Philando Castile is back on administrative leave after a brief return to duty.

Officer Jeronimo Yanez returned to active duty in an administrative role at his St. Anthony Police Department last Friday, a month and a half after he opened fire at Castile during a traffic stop.

The 32-year-old cafeteria supervisor’s death, which his fiancée said happened as her boyfriend reached for his wallet, led to nationwide protests against police brutality.

Yanez’s shooting is currently under investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and St. Anthony said that it based its decision on having him return off of “how other departments and agencies have handled comparable, difficult situations.”

Castile's death sparked protests across the country against police brutality.

However, the move met with vocal opposition fromCastile's family, as well as activists who believe Yanez should be fired and prosecuted.

“He gets a chance to go back to work and my son will not get that chance, to go back to work,” Castile’s mother Valerie toldWCCO of Yanez.

“We just simply don’t believe that he should put on that uniform at such an early stage, when there have been no decisions made on what’s going to happen to him,” his uncle Clarence Castile said.

In a statement Wednesday, St. Anthony said that Yanez, 28, had been placed back on administrative leave “out of respect to the sensitive nature of the tragic incident and the concerns from the community.”



The backtracking came after St. Anthony Police Chief Jon Mangseth had responded to Yanez’s return by praising the officer for “a real sound ability when it comes to communicating with people.”

Yanez’s attorney Thomas Kelley has said that his client’s shooting of Castile was not based on race but based on the fact that the driver had a gun.

Castile had a permit to carry his gun in his wallet, and his fiancée said that he told the officer about it before being shot.

Amazing... the job security these inept fucks have is unbeleivable. :smh:
 
I'm guessing someone will do a thread on this if they haven't already. I'm posting it here since she referenced his murder.


Edit: wrong tweet this is the right one:

Good article http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-probes-sterling-castile-deaths-article-1.2829463

You will never find an example of someone who shoots a police officer, with witnesses, camera footage, and the murder weapon, where police wait a month, two months or three ridiculous months to make an arrest. By in large, they make the arrest almost immediately — often within hours, or days at the most — and that's normally only if the suspect cannot be found or is on the run.

Yet, we know exactly where the officers are who killed Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. They aren't hiding. They aren't on the run. They aren't missing. They are at home — paid vacations — awaiting the completion of the never-ending investigations.
