we spoke about the killing of Philando Castile, right,

and the verdict that exonerated the police officer who shot him.

And, honestly, I thought that I felt all I could feel

And if you've already watched this video,

I wouldn't say anyone has to watch this video,

but if you haven't seen it, it is graphic.

during a traffic stop last year in Minnesota.

The video comes just four days after a jury

found the police officer not guilty of manslaughter.

You see so many of these videos, and you start to get numb,

getting out of the car after watching a man get killed,

Like, I thought of every joke people make about,

"Oh, the most confusing day in the hood is Father's Day.

"People don't know where their parents are.

That's a child that grows up not knowing what it's like

And you know, you know what's the most painful thing,

that there's a simple solution to police shootings:

Film everything, then there'll be no question

And black people have already taken that initiative, right?

Thanks to cell phones, every black person has a body cam now.

"Just give us, just give us an indictment.

"You know what? Just get us in front of a jury.

"We'll show them the video, the evidence,

and then they will see it and justice will be served."

to the letter of the law, and was killed regardless?

People watched that video and then voted to acquit?

POLICE OFFICER: Keep your hands where they are, please.

Yes, I will, sir. I'll keep my hands where they are.

Please, Officer, don't tell me that you just did this to him.

It's (bleep) mind-blowing that Diamond Reynolds

has just seen her boyfriend shot in front of her.

but clearly, black people never forget their training.

Still, in that moment, the black person is saying,

And that decision is do you think this policeman

was justified in thinking that his life was in danger?

And their opinion, having watched that video,

having listened to that excha... exchange,

Was it because Philando Castile was being polite?

Was it because he was following the officer's instructions?

Was it because he was in the car with his family?

Or was it because Philando Castile was black?

It's one thing to have the system against you--

the district attorneys, the police unions, the courts--

But when a jury of your peers, your community,
