Usually that type of thing doesn't appeal to the alpha male you'd think. The insecure and those that lack confidence gravitate to that type of thing. That's what you see here. Inexperienced, insecure, and lacking confidence. Amazing they get off. Don't think they should do life or anything when it's an honest programming fuckup, but they need to do a decade when they take an entirely innocent life over a miscommunication on a tail light pull over.

oh except


Yanez told the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension:

“I thought, I was gonna die and I thought if he’s, if he has the, the guts and the audacity to smoke marijuana in front of the five-year-old girl and risk her lungs and risk her life by giving her secondhand smoke and the front seat passenger doing the same thing then what, what care does he give about me.”




Guys he shot him because he smelled weed in the car, which Im guessing was smoked by the wife.
Didn't watch the video, don't plan to (did read transcripts)...but:

The girlfriend admitted they had both smoked weed the day of the shooting, and that they are both daily smokers, but I'm not sure if the blood test taken after death (or any blood test for that matter) could determine *how high* either of them were. If he were indeed high as a giraffe ass, I can completely see indecision, coupled with nervousness etc, on the part of Philando contributing to the result. And before people go off on me saying I'm excusing the cop...I ALSO think that the next logical step in what should have been his training was to ask where the firearm was, and clear direct and calm instructions on how to proceed.

What people fail to realize in situations is that sometimes both sides went about things the wrong way. This just might be one of those times.
