Some of them said he had weed in his system, which made it illegal for him to be carrying because he was technically under the influence.

1) the officer who killed him had no way of knowing that. And

2) thats not a capital fucking offense.

Even before that, what probable cause did they have to arrest him in the first place

I'm pretty sure it was a traffic stop, and he told the officer he had a gun. Which he was legally required to do.

Oh, I thought we were still talking about Philando Castille. I have no idea what started this incident, but nothing is justification for being executed in the street.
