Actually, he said "I told him not to reach for it," which I construed as meaning his license because she immediately said "you told him to get his ID sir, you told him to get his driver's license."

But then immediately after he said that, he said something that sounded like either "I told him to get his hand out" or "I told him to get his hand off it." If he said "out," that looks worse for the officer, but if he said "off it," that would support the possibility that Castile was reaching for a gun.

At any rate, do we even know for sure that Castile was carrying a gun? I haven't seen anything confirming it. We know he had a permit, and up until today we thought we knew that he told the officer he was carrying one, but now do we even know whether he was?

Why would a cop shoot at such close range when he could have easily used his taser. He didn't he see a gun.

How do you know he didn't see a gun?

It's possible that Castile's gun is actually in his lap and can be seen in the video.

It wasn't in his lap. He was shot because the police though he was reaching for a gun

Sorry, but I think parents who smoke pot in front of their kids are very irresponsible. What kind of message does that send? Not to mention what it does to them when they're in close quarters.

Most of the people I know drank differently when their kids were still at home. By that I mean, they didn't get drunk, and one of the parents was always the designated driver.

Not the same for most people since drugs are illegal in most states.

You have no idea if that is true.

And neither do I.

But the video that Diamond Reynolds streamed shows something black in Castile's lap.

1. If you have actual evidence of her IQ, provide it. Otherwise, that's slander.

2. If all parents who smoked pot had their children taken away, what a mess this country would have on its hands. But of course, that would be if there is truly equal justice under the law.
