Really...the geniuses did the math? Seems like they are missing the point as you are. Or maybe you rely on the media to formulate your thoughts? It had nothing to do with likelihoods and stats. Speaking of useless stats: What are the chances of a black (or otherwise) American being pulled over by a Bahamian officer, killed and exonerated in the killing?

The advisory was simply telling folks to essentially stay out of US business, comply with police and contact a consulate office should you find yourself in a sticky situation.

Of course the country is 85% black, I get it. But it was NOT said and it did not use terminology to exclude the other 15% either. Therefore, it should not be reported as such.

I read the Bahamas advisory, no where did it specify, "particularly black men".

I've still seen that episode more than enough times in less than a year to think anything more of it. The advisory story was at its peak on Friday, and already U.S. media is losing interest.

It never settled...these episodes repeat quite often if you watch enough of them. Perhaps you are now opening your eyes to what was already there?

I've seen and been aware of repeats of that episode a few times already this year therefore, the war must have been started prior to the advisory.

No they don't. We both know you are making stuff up about this man. The cop killer, who is as bad and the killer cops, was involved in gang behaviour, Philandi Castile was not. Please stop your lies and trying to paint every black man as a thug.

How about you cite your source that proved the victim was a gang member. In fact comments by friends, family and co-workers say otherwise. You also claimed to know his intent was to kill...It's not possible for you to know that. He was stopped for a broken tail light and later appeared to resemble the individual the BOLO was issued for. You are simply making things up to justify the victims senseless death.

I will leave the burden of proving that you are not telling lies and making assumptions about this man on you. I am comfortable with the legitimate, and multiple, sources I got my information from.

Paranoid much?

I see why you have no problem in labeling people you don't know.

It speaks volumes about you!

"He had a gun on his lap and LIKELY was ready to kill the cop"

Wow,!!! Your comment is exactly what is wrong with America...assumptions and irrational fear of people who do not look like you. When police officers feel the same...disaster results. Did the officer pull him over because of a BOLO or an alleged broken tail light as they had done countless times before? As is a documented procedure for blacks in Minnesota since 2003...but yet to be resolved?

This man was doing what every (white) gun carrying member of the NRA does daily without issue...he was exercising his right to carry a concealed, legally permitted, weapon. AND he made that known to to the officer in an attempt to save his life. Had he known he was suspected of a crime he would not have innocently reached for his ID as instructed, and instead kept his hands in the air. So come again...? How can you possibly know that the intent of this man, void of a criminal behavior, was to kill the officer? Are you psychic or are you just paranoid of black men?

Family, friends, colleagues and even the children of the school that this man worked at for 15 years would disagree that this man's intent was to kill, over a routine traffic stop, especially in the presence of his 4 year old daughter.

Mr. Zecchino, please be serious or at least honest with your comments!
