It's because terms such as "suspect" and "perpetrator" are a) like Kep said carry a stigma of "guilty until proven innocent" and b) are very dehumanizing terms, they're not a human being they're a "suspect". A term like "community member" actually makes an officer think of the people they're serving.

Bulls**t.

A woman on the morning radio show I listen to happened to do a police ride along the past Saturday night in Minneapolis. The terrifying details of what she witnessed aside, she started trying to talk "cop" and asked the officer she was with something, something, perp, something, something, and the officer told her that "perp" is just a TV thing. At most they're called the suspect in the moment, but usually he was saying "individual." Why was that? Because, as she attested, you come across so many unpredictable events that she kept misidentifying who was the victim when they arrived at the scene, if it was that sort of situation. (One of the stories had to do with a flipped Mustang.)

Not guilty. Wow.

You cant honestly be surprised. There was no chance the cop got convicted he "feared for his life" or some such nonsense.

So no justice for a Black Man killed because he "kind of" (and that is a stretch) looked like someone the cops were looking at. With video...

Just remember though...racism isnt real and cops certainly arent racist.

This is going to end badly...

Really heartbroken for the Castille family right now. Nothing will ever bring their family member back but this has to be a slap to the face that is unimaginable. But, I'm not surprised. This was a real uphill fight they had on their hands and I'm sure the prosecutors knew that going in. Living here in the Twin Cities for 20 years now and I'm afraid for what could happen tonight, can only hope that cooler heads prevail.

Why...no jury wants to convict a cop ESPECIALLY when they "are afwaid for dere wives". I would have bet the house the cop got off or at best a hung jury.

There is a better chance the NRA admits black gunholders in the inner city than there was the cop went to jail.

Not surprised by the verdict. Highly disappointed in my fellow citizens though. As usual.

Just because he wasnt convicted doesnt mean his employer cant fire him. They could still say he acted outside of their guidelines and practices even if he didnt commit manslaughter.

All I know is that I don't want him in my local police department. Regardless of his legal guilt, I don't trust his judgement.
