Podcast 192 The Great Self Defense Divide
Click Here Get Notes by EmailToday: The American society has a great divide in it. Us v Them that has nothing to do with who we are, but how we are being manipulated by others that want something from us. This divide in American Culture has been growing for years as we scream past each other, instead of talk to our neighbors. Now that same divide is starting in the gun culture and even down to the self defense sub culture.
Every shooting that is pushed in the media seems to have us fighting each other about stupid things instead of looking how we can fix the world. Sometimes we people do wrong and need to go to jail, but that needs to be found after an exhaustive search of fact. Assumption and projection has no place in a court of law where someone’s freedom is being complicated.
We as a self defense community are better then that. We should be having discussions about how to make ourselves, our community, our country, and the world a better place.
The latest thing trying to divide us is the shooting of Philando Castile by Officer Jeronimo Yanez in Minnesota. Officer Yanez was acquitted this week of all charges in the shooting. A court of law has decided and we should respect that as much as we like it or not.
We can have discussions about Law Enforcement needing to be better trained, better vetted (not just when hired but also during their career), and how us as civilians that interact with police should be better trained and practiced about interacting with law enforcement. The other crap, is just crap and if we fight amongst ourselves about it, we will lose everything our sub culture has gained in the last couple decades.
In this podcast I’ll be talking about the shooting, the videos that have been released, legal standard for justifiable use of deadly force, and some of the background that may or may not have made a difference.
