Philando Castile was armed and we don't know what happened leading up to him being shot.
Other than an eye witness account you are correct. This could always change, but this is what we have now.

And when Mrs. Clinton (your choice for president) said "all lives matter" in a campaign speach, she was booed.

If you believe the BLM movement is about inclusiveness. You are sadly misinformed.
If someone hijacks the motives of a movement is that movement to blame?

FBI statistics:

It would take 40 years of Blacks killed by police to equal the number of Blacks murdered by other Blacks.

Less than 400 people a year are killed by cops: 61% of them are White men; 32% are Black males.

People are killed by police about as often are they are struck by lightning...but I don't see any protests about storms.

Black men are about 6.5% of the U.S. population, but they commit 52% of all murders.

Looking at overall violent crime, Blacks are 27 times more like to attack Whites than vice versa, and 8 times more likely to attack Hispanics.

This is the shocking number I hope you take away from my visit: 90% of Blacks that die from murder are at the hands of other Blacks. That's 90%, from the FBI homicide report.

We're not here to talk about why this happens. Or why 74% of Black children are raised without fathers. Or why the Government seems intent on a cycle of destruction within the Black community.

My message is simple: Black lives don't matter to Black Lives Matter. If they did, they'd be confronting these issues instead of ignoring them completely.

(A cut & paste from Milo Yiannopoulos. I don't know him or vouch for his credibility. The stats appear to be correct)

So you think if we protested against storms the storms might consider changing their behavior and policies?? Or are you saying killings by police are seemingly random uncontrollable outbursts beyond anyone's control? Which is it?
