I have seen both videos too. They both seem to make no sense. Especially the Philando Castile one. Alton Sterling had a long rap sheet and that might be why the cops reacted the way they did, but there was nothing crazy on Philando Castile at all. What a messed up world we live in.

Re: Alton Sterling
I saw both videos but neither tell the whole story. (I might have missed something with the Sterling video because I saw it on my phone and I couldn't really tell exactly what was going on - it was small and blurry.)
They were disturbing for sure but I am going to reserve judgment until I know more.

I feel like the second Steling video shows the police taking the gun out of the pocket.
Warning, very disturbing.

He was pinned down and it looked like it was under control. His record does not matter. I just don't understand how it got that bad.

Re: Alton Sterling
His record matters when one of the issues were resisting arrest prior. Carrying an illegal handgun...

I like Obama and I almost always share the same viewpoints as you, but I felt he went way too lightly on this.

He almost has to be. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If he speaks about these fukced up murders, people will want to know why he didn't say anything about Dylan noble. If he doesn't say anything, then he's not addressing the problem.

I know. It's a difficult spot.
The news right now is making me sick. I want to leave this country. 11 officers shot. 4 killed.

Yep. Already on Facebook I see people pinning every thing on him- saying that he is inciting a race war, and it's what he wants.
