That women is in prison now.
Officer Lisa Mearkle shot the unarmed David Kassick in February of 2015. Mearkle was charged with murder and acquitted by jury on November 5th, 2015. This is the court released video from Mearkle's taser.
No real surprise here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/07/09/the-nras-internal-revolt-over-philando-castile/?utm_term=.26b54c7f35edOf course the NRA's supposed unwavering support of people utilizing their second amendment rights has a pigment sliding scale.
You know what a find super racist and disturbing

Dallas has had one of the lowest instances of violence against police among all major cities, and there were no issues from the actual BLM protest. Still, you get someone willing to kill themselves in order to kill a few cops in that setting just because of outrage over stuff that happened hundreds of miles away.What is your point?

Umm,., what happened idiots?
I can't imagine wasting a Sunday to protest something, that's going through faint ears anyways. Sounds miserable.
