I watched a family member die young in front of me. Didn't cry for two days after. My girlfriend was weirded out that I had come home from the hospital and was laughing at some dumb TV. But when my mind caught up to reality, I lost it for months afterward. I think we have a survival instinct to persevere through unexpected trauma.

This thread title always makes me think it's a new one because it's written in such a way that it seems like the woman got shot and for some reason is recording her boyfriend
She starts to freak out in the back of the squad car a little, near the end of the video. But I'm sure she was full of adrenaline and fear and wasn't really in a position to mentally shut down, especially with her kid there.

Yup. The day your personal "bubble of protection" bursts is not a pleasant feeling.
I grew up thinking my family was invincible. That nothing horrible could ever happen to us, or people that we knew and loved. And then my cousin was murdered. I couldn't even cry because it so traumatic. It wasn't until a few days later, when I arrived back in my hometown and saw my family that the loss really hit me and I broke down.
Then earlier this year, one of my dearest friends of about 16 year's little sister was murdered by her estranged husband. She was a sweet woman who was nothing but kind to me and everyone she knew. Gone.
Discovering that you're not immune to tragedy and the horribleness of the world is something I wouldn't wish on anyone (Donald Trump is pushing it, though). Just an awful, awful realization and feeling, but the initial shock of it all often takes days, weeks, to really sink in. People also react to stuff like this differently.

and in May he apparently posted a picture of this organization's log on his Facebook.

Oh, man. Saw a teacher this morning. Blonde. She was oh so devastated and taking about what a great man he was. His interaction with the children and how much they loved him. I'm very happy that folks are coming out for him like this..they'll never be louder than the Facebook crowd, but at least there're people out there who can speak to the man's character who ACTUALLY KNEW him..

And why would I want them?

Sure it's been talked about yesterday, but I think the most haunting thing about the video is how calm the woman was, and how shockingly panicked the officer sounds.

For me it's how quickly and quietly he goes. When she says something to the effect of "Dear God, please don't tell me he's gone" and it becomes clear that he has, no time for goodbye or to even comprehend all that's occurred... it destroys me inside.

The countiy sheriff department said he didn't have a conceal and carry permit. Ramsey County said they have no records of him having it. Hmmm
hmm meaningless when the officer asked him for identification
no excuses he didn't deserve to die. End of story
Hey can you explain your point I'm just curious is all, hmmm?
Outtrigger888

No he didn't deserve to die but when false information gets thrown out there it gets blown to proportion without people looking at the other side. From what I know, he wasn't pulled over for a tail light but for an armed robbery suspect.

Ok so he was Spanish, not asian... i just remember when this first broke people said the cop was asian
Anyways, aoparently this is being classified as murder so Yanez is going to do the time. It doesnt make up for it honestly but its something.
Where on earth did you hear that? And how is it being blown out of proportion? Whether he had a permit or not seems pretty damn irrelevant in this case.

Edit: Instead of looking at random conservative bullshit sites which are smearing the dead, why don't you look at actual newspapers and journalists?
No shit he wasn't registered with ramsey county: Robbinsdale, the issuing city, is in Hennepin County.

You know the site is trustworthy when their email has a @reagan.com domain.
The banner I get at the top of that page is "I want YOU to be Andrew Breitbart."
Seems like a solid source.
It's telling that you link the surely not biased at all hyper conservative site instead of the source they give that admits that they don't know whether the recording is authentic or not.

Ramsey county sheriff reported on there Twitter he never registered for one.
All I'm saying is that the only information is what we seen on Facebook and what his girlfriend has spoken about. I'm not saying he deserved to be shot but it's easy to point fingers when givin something directly without the other story.
HE'S REGISTERED IN ROBBINSDALE, WHICH IS NOT IN RAMSEY COUNTY
READ A FUCKING NEWSPAPER'S WEBSITE, NOT THAT TABLOID BULLSHIT.
You're slandering the dead.
That same sheriff also has repeatedly stated on twitter that didn't mean he didn't have one, just that he didn't have one through them.

lmaooooooooooooooo
The other day I had to correct a friend who sourced something from the other shooting saying the guy was harassing folks with the gun. Had to quote the store owner in saying that it wasn't him at all. These websites that just outright lie for clicks and rile people up are disgusting.
It doesn't even fucking look like him! and you can't even see the gun in the car!
God, pisses me of that you have thousands of people out there spreading lies about a dead man and dragging his name through the mud. And then you call them out and they just vanish (Outtrigger888)

Im not dragging nothing, we haven't heard anything from the investigation. Black people get pulled over all the time but this one resulted in a death there might be more to the story.
A fucking child was shot and killed in Minneapolis today
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/07/08/north-mpls-shooting/
Where the fuck is the uproar. Where's the 1500 post thread?
If a cop killed the child there would be a outrage.
Again
He. Is. Licensed. To. Carry. He's a school cafeteria supervisor. Kids loved him. His family loved him. He had a kid of his own, and no record, and was getting his ID out.
Jesus fucking christ.
It seems there is always 'more to the story' when these shootings/killings occur. Perhaps we should be questioning the methods used that lead to loss of life instead of looking for dirt on victims.
On your edit: People are killed by criminals every day in America. Thats the reality of living in a country with gun rights. If we want to hold police to the lesser standards of criminals, I guess that can be part of the conversation.
You fucking serious?
Because the FUCKING POLICE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT PEOPLE. TO HELP THEM. TO SERVE THEM. NOT KILL THEM. NOT TAKE FATHERS AWAY FROM THEIR CHILDREN.
bystanders dying in the crossfire of a firefight is a tragedy, but at least it's not getting killed by your own government.
Yes, I'd imagine if a cop walked up to a car and shot a child in their seat there would be outrage. What even is this comment.
At least you went to a reputable website to share that story.

Citizens who have gunfights with children in the cross fire are naturally arrested and held accountable for their actions which is more than we can say for cops who commit the exact same offenses (see: Timothy Loehmann).
You actually thought that was worth editing into your post. At no moment did you realize just how amazingly stupid this statement is. I'm mindfucked. How are you even operating a computer.

You are picking the wrong sword to die on bruh
and yes, you ARE dragging him through the mud. Look at what you linked to. You're saying he committed armed robbery. You're saying he was illegally carrying. You're saying he was human scum. You're saying he did something to deserve to get shot.
You are spitting on his corpse.

I never said he committed armed robbery I said there might be more to the story than one sides statement.

He's just asking questions, guys. Don't you think it's interesting? Maybe he's a devil's advocate, or a contrarian!

OH, the "(THING) happened, where's the outrage!?!" trick.
It's almost like you guys lose all sorts of common fucking sense and logic when people call you out.
I'm gonna say it, you're sounding like a typical White Supremacist and your stupid ass comments in this thread sort of confirms that.
