of an unarmed black motorist who had reached back into his vehicle for his wallet.
Valerie Castile, Philando's mother, supports Carter's product. But she also says it’s upsetting that it’s come to this — having to create a device in the hopes of preventing a fatality.Natalia AbrahamsHaving the pouch, she says, could have helped her son survive.Carter started distributing the pouch by reaching out to Sgt. Rodger Ollis, an officer in her hometown of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, about an hour outside of Philadelphia.
Shoemaker points out while this study does not account for whether or not these stops escalate to violence, the report demonstrates racial profiling does occur.
NBCBLK You'll always find a racist wh1te supremacist to defend murder so long as the target is black. But those same people would try and push anyone who calls them out off the internet. Twitter is rampant with these bigoted cowards, they aren't man enough to handle the truth.
NBCBLK This is why I say, police do not put their lives in the line. If they did, they wouldn't have impunity to kill any and everything around them so long as they think there's a possibility that they themselves might get hurt. Innocent lives don't matter a much as cop lives.
NBCBLK this wouldn’t be needed if people - black AND white - put their hands on the steering wheel after coming to a stop & keeping them there until the officer walks up to your car. its that damn simple.
NBCBLK Stupid on so many levels
NBCBLK Not a serious country.
I use the RED poly from State Farm, center console of all of our vehicles. Our teens were taught “Red=Emergency” it has family medical info/contacts as well in case of unconscious accident.
NBCBLK How about we don’t let undereducated bullies and cowards become police officers? How about we require a college degree before we grant the right to kill?
NBCBLK She might have to attach to the outside driver door handle
NBCBLK Whoops! You already said that.
NBCBLK Damn, that’s pretty sad.
NBCBLK Can you fit a gun in the pouch?
NBCBLK Stupid and useless item designed to make money based on idiots fear of a basically non existent problem.
NBCBLK Sheeesh! Pathetic to have to even consider placing something like this on a car driven by and containing black persons. America is better than this. We should be able to live and drive and work and just be without fearing for our life because of skin color.
NBCBLK Sad
NBCBLK To help save blk lives? Really sounds more like democrat propaganda piece.
NBCBLK Somehow I doubt this will stop any cop who's trigger happy.
NBCBLK If you had your ID/reg ready before the cop walked up to your window, you wouldn't be reaching in the first place. But by all means, buy silly gimmicks to virtue signal and insult police.
NBCBLK That is a great idea.
NBCBLK Systematically black lives are lost in part stereotypically, because the police assume they are reaching for a gun. They are no different besides their skin color from anyone else. Better police training is needed and better police accountability is a must.
NBCBLK It’s sad , it has come to this .
NBCBLK Why can't automakers just put pockets into the sun visor for these?
NBCBLK 50y ago, born/raised in an extremely blue county in an extremely blue state: ALL colors/races/religions knew not to 'reach' OR MOVE FOR ANYTHING unless explicitly instructed to do so by law enforcement they were engaging w/. I'm not sure why people make it like something 'new'.
NBCBLK Or you could fucking listen to the police and not grab for shit when they tell you not to, keep your goddamn hands on the steering wheel like you’re supposed to and there won’t be any problems. Honestly, the only reason this is a problem is because black people like to get grabby
NBCBLK
NBCBLK That won't make a difference at all. If a racist white cop is intent on 'killing himself a black person' to get 'street cred' at the police department, a simple pouch won't matter.
NBCBLK Sad that police have become judge, jury and executioner.
