        Only chance he had of dying was being hit by a passing car because he was so afraid of the black man he had just stopped. #tooafraidtobeacop

        That still makes him a killer, and his supervisors and government responsible.

        @yourrightscamp The question is why did the officer believe his life was in danger. What about the situation made him afraid for his life?

        We need to address the ingrained racism that causes people to think black men are bigger and scarier than they are.

        He was so scared, guy should have been a preschool teacher NOT in law enforcement. He became paralyzed by fear, did not think.

        Sounds just like the fabricated story of Darren Wilson in Ferguson, who "thought he was a 5 yr old up against the Hulk" but is 6'3"

        They almost always offer up the same rhetoric. We're getting #Justice4Philando. No acquittal. No hung jury. Prosecution!

        It's like it's okay as long as "I felt threatened" and "I feared for my life" are uttered.

        Absolutely. I think this man is going to pay though. The law in 'these' cases "protect their own". He is not "their own". #PhilandoCastile
