https://thinkprogress.org/philando-castile-settlement-4b1a4593dc6e
Valerie Castile will receive nearly $3 million from the city of St. Anthony, Minnesota, family lawyers announced Monday. The payment preempts a wrongful death lawsuit over St. Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez’s killing of Castile’s son Philando last summer. Yanez was acquitted of criminal charges in the killing, where video shows him shooting Castile point-blank as the man and his girlfriend try to explain to the officer that Castile’s licensed fire-arm is in the car. While comparable in size to other police killings settlements, the deal announced Monday is enormous in the context of the tiny suburb’s fiscal reality. The 9,000-person municipality has a total annual budget of around $7 million, half of which goes to the standalone St. Anthony Police Department. The settlement, which would nearly bankrupt the city if paid directly from general revenues, will be paid through St. Anthony’s municipal insurance. Another case of incompetent police being left off the hook and leaving taxpayers to clean up their mess --- No one gets in the way of my frisbee games! NO ONE! ... Copied to Clipboard!

said it before but small cities should not have their own police departments, they pretty much are only good for grabbing pot heads, speed traps and greasing their top brasses pockets any serious investigations generally have to either be turned over to the state anyway.

On the one hand, I'm glad she got the money. On the other, I wish it had been A LOT MORE. Poor guy was straight up murdered for no reason. That police department needs slapped the fuck down so they train their officers better. I'd rather the city goes bankrupt than have another completely innocent person killed because of basic incompetence.

I'd rather the city goes bankrupt than have another completely innocent person killed because of basic incompetence. "Don't reach for it" being shouted at you multiple times and you're still stupid enough to reach in that vacinity isn't considered murder in my eyes. If I have a gun in my face and a cop tells me not to move my hands, I'm not moving them. If I was legal carrying, told the cop that I was and he was still aiming a gun in my face, both my hands won't be moving from the steering wheel and they'll have to remove me from the car. --- How can one person post so much stupid s***? ...

tells me not to move my hands This didn't happen. He said "don't reach for it (the gun)." while Castile was reaching for his wallet. This Castile has a brainfart moment and died because of it.

That police department needs slapped the fuck down so they train their officers better. I'd rather the city goes bankrupt than have another completely innocent person killed because of basic incompetence. Cop: "License and registration please." Victim: "Sure thing officer. Also, I'm a registered gun owner and my pistol is in the car." Cop: "DON'T REACH FOR IT" Victim: "Just getting you my license and registration, officer." Cop: *Unloads an entire clip into a guy sitting in his car, complying with orders, less than 2 minutes after pulling the guy over* Stop fucking victim blaming. This is the clearest case of police failing to simply follow protocol of all time. The cop didn't even SEE the gun, he was TOLD there was a gun in the car and his response was to shoot the guy 6 times. I wouldn't charge the guy with first degree murder but second degree ("In the heat of the moment") would be COMPLETELY justified. The actions taken by that officer were so far over the top that it's ridiculous. Even his partner thought so. --- If her hips don't break, you didn't "carry" hard enough" -SpunkySix http://steamcommunity.com/id/bolt_thundara/wishlist ... Copied to Clipboard!
