Having a badge is a license to murder black men. There is no justice in the justice system. You can record the murder and broadcast it live. Doesn't matter, you will still be told that you didn't witness an actual murder.

Officer Yanez had pulled over Mr. Castile for a broken tail light by IIRC. He also claimed Mr Castille bore a resemblance to an armed robbery suspect.

Mr. Castile was armed and had a permit for his pistol. He informed the officer of such and reached for his wallet. The officer claimed he was pulling out the gun and shot killing Mr. Castile.
