Nashville officer: ‘I would have done 5’ on Philando Castile

Posted by | July 8, 2016 23:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly


Nashville police officer Anthony Venable bragged on Facebook he would have shot Philando Castile one more time than he was actually shot.

“Yeah. I would have done 5,” in a Facebook conversation regarding the shooting death of Castile, who was shot four times during a traffic stop. Venable said the comment was meant to be sarcastic.

“The police department is treating this matter very seriously and took immediate action, regardless of what he claims the context to have been,” Police Chief Steve Anderson told The Tennessean. Anderson had previously told The Tennessean that he was concerned that people were judging all police by the actions of the police officers involved in the shootings of Sterling and Castile…

Meanwhile, over in Memphis, the Commercial-Appeal reported that Memphis Interim Director Michael Rallings had suspended two officers for a social media post. The officers posted an image on Snapchat that was an illustration of a white hand pointing a gun at an emoji depicting a black child.

    this is how you end this sh*t and NOW. there’s no suspensions. there’s immediate discharge. turn in your badge and weapon. you have, regardless of how long you’ve been on the force, lost your pension. there is NO allowing of any officer, regardless of rank, an opportunity to resign so that they may keep their pensions. people lose their minimum wage jobs as a fast food joint for giving away french fries, the behavior these “cops” exhibit warrants immediate termination. as they have already made it clear they are NOT there to protect and serve, but to intimidate and bully and in most cases as it turns out unfortunately, murder/execute unarmed or legally armed non-threatening, men, women and children of color. this bastard, he’s aching to execute, even if it means another 12 y/o.

      Can you believe this, this is a guy who the republicans could have gotten behind since he did everything right, but comments like what that cop posted is why cops are being shot, racism alive and well in America! Fu*k that cop!

        i agree. but, i will take my rant even further. they MUST all carry their own personal liability insurance. 300 per month. if you pose a risk to the community, you lose your insurance and your job. i’m not suggesting that any old infraction will warrant termination, but i’ll be damned if they don’t get their sh*t together if they were held responsible. and yes FUCK THIS BITCH ASS COP. (send this post to mod, i’m ready.)

          That’s my girl and if they start taken out of their budget, that might help with them being over aggressive!

      I have been saying, TAKE THEIR PENSIONS. Every cop that I know, looks forward to their pensions. Dante Servin, shot a girl in the back of her head. He went to court and was freed. When it was time for him to go in front of the police board, he retired, thus he would not have to testify. (He knew they were going to fire him.) He resigned two days before the hearing, so that he would be eligible for his pension. Prior to resigning, he was making $97,000 a year. The city paid Rekia Boyd’s family, four million dollars. Why should he get a pension of over 60 thousand per year? His pension should be gone, however, the preachers and politicians in Chicago, will not press the issue.

        damn shame. sounds like a way to retire early if you ask me.

    this mantwat has put the public, the media, his supervisors and anyone willing to listen, and i’m YELLING AT YOU FOX on notice that he is willing, able and ready to murder innocent men of color. if he even gives one so much as a scratch, the city, the state, the county, and him personally, should be sued to the point of homeless.

    I’m afraid this is going to get worse long before it gets better..:(

    • whatthe46 July 9th, 2016 at 00:41

      i agree.

      • StoneyCurtisll July 9th, 2016 at 01:00

        I hope I’m wrong….

        • whatthe46 July 9th, 2016 at 01:19

          sorry. but, the vile that has been spewing shows otherwise. this article suggest it.

  4. William July 9th, 2016 at 10:13

    When a cop freely admits to wanting to murder someone, it’s time to show him the pink slip.

  5. dewired4u July 9th, 2016 at 14:16

    This guy is the problem and cops like him need to be fired and their gun rights taken away.

    • mistlesuede July 9th, 2016 at 15:31

      I think we can safely bet they were put on “paid” leave and will be back on the job within a few days. Heck, when they kill black men as we’ve just seen happen again, they also go on “paid” leave.

  6. mistlesuede July 9th, 2016 at 15:29

    The problem is that any red-neck white man can become an arrogant and irresponsible police officer. These types have no respect for the uniform or for the public. I’m sure there are white folks who have come into contact with these ones and despised them also.
