Governor Mark Dayton was talking about the second black man to die at the hands of police in two days.

As was the case following the death of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis last November 15, Castile’s death sparked large protests, this time during the early morning hours in front of the Governor’s Mansion in St. Paul. During a news conference on Thursday, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) said he believes that if Castile had been white, the 32-year-old longtime St. Paul public schools employee that many are describing as a role model for kids would still be alive.

“Would this had happened if those passengers were white? I don’t think it would’ve,” Dayton said. “So I’m forced to confront, and I think all of us in Minnesota are forced to confront, [that] this kind of racism exists.”

    Don’t blame whitey folks, I believe the cop who did the shooting was a Hispanic.

      Nobody was, but leave it to the trolls to simply assume it. Kind of a knee-jerk bubba cracker reaction. Got your robe ALL in twist…
