I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it turns out that 'the cameras weren't working' at that particular time.

Another thing that bothers me; it was only 90 seconds between the time the cop reported he was stopping the car (because the driver had a wide nose) and Castile was shot.

90 seconds...
90 seconds does not bother me in the least. It takes one second for a perp to shoot a cop.

In my experience the cops have clear evidence that the shooting was acceptable. When they hold onto evidence so tight like this they already know what the truth is.

Except in this case Castile was not a perp and had no reason to shoot a cop.

Yeah, why does it take two years and a damn court order to have these things released?

At this point in time, that appears correct. We will have to wait.

Explain to me how the cop knows that?

Because it's evidence in a potential murder trial.

This....the odds were about the same so obviously it would be understandable if he was concerned for his life and shot the officer first.

Maybe this is the position the people should take....."hey, I don't know, he may be a serial killer for all I know".

Was your misspelling of 'Party' a typo, or is there a 4 year-old nearby who suggested adding the 'h'.
My attempt to bring it down to Trump's level.
