MINNESOTA COP ACQUITTED IN FATAL SHOOTING OF BLACK DRIVER
The US cop who shot dead black motorist Philando Castile has been acquitted of manslaughter.
The fatal shooting by officer Jeronimo Yanez in Minnesota was one of several to spark the Black Lives Matter movement.
The killing gained notoriety after Mr Castile's girlfriend Diamond Reynolds live-streamed the bloody aftermath on Facebook.
His furious mother spoke of her anger last night after a jury, 10 of whom were white, found the officer not guilty.
They spent 25 hours considering a verdict before clearing Yanez on all charges.
"I'm mad as hell right now," Valerie Castile told reporters after the verdict. "My first-born son died. ...
"Just because he was a police officer, that makes it OK."
