First they decide to charge the officer with manslaughter instead of murder.

Now to add insult to injury they want the charges against the officer dropped. He claims that because Castile was high on marijuana, it rendered him “culpably negligent.” At the time of the shooting Philando Castile was high off of marijuana.

Although he was the officer who killed him did not know this upon approaching him. Since when does someone being high validate their death. When the victim is black we are always looking for weak validations to justify something that is simply unjustifiable. The officer will continue to lie about the true accounts of the day he senselessly murdered someone because this country does a great job at dehumanizing black people.

Let’s not let this murderer walk free for a bull crap defense because at the end of the day people who are driving while under the influence go to jail when pulled over they aren’t murdered. We can not continue to validate reckless and careless shootings just because the victim is black.
