If Yanez' version of events are true - and the video didn't disprove it - then I fully understand why a jury wouldn't find him guilty.
If you feel that Yanez is lying then I can understand why you think Yanez should be locked up.
The honest fact of the matter is, and I am not sure that you want an honest discussion, is that this incident and case is murky and hard to tell exactly what happened with certainty. For the Washington Post to bash the NRA for not picking a side before an investigation when it isn't obvious what happened is asinine slanted BS politics. To demand that the NRA pick a side when they still don't have a clue exactly as to what happened isn't much different.
Neither you or I truly know if Yanez is telling the truth - if he is telling the truth, it isn't shocking he got off.
The NRA took a side when they didn't side with a legal gun owner. We already know what side their on.
So from here on out, they'd better not EVER take the side of a legal gun owner over the police. If they do, then we'll all know why they didn't stand behind Castile.
NRA's mission is to advocate for gun rights for law abiding citizens. Not weigh in on court cases. They aren't doing Nancy Grace court case talk shows.
A law abiding citizen (unless having a broken light makes you a criminal) had his GUN rights violated, and now he's dead.
The issue is that a black man, committing no crime, was pulled over with a busted taillight as the pretext. He supposedly resembled a robber because he had a "wide set nose."
His gun permit was legal, and he was committing no crime and wasn't being arrested. So why is he dead?
Does the Second Amendment apply to everyone or just white people? That's the question.
This ain't got a damn thing to do with BLM or George Soros. They didn't shoot anyone.
Then don't merge two of my posts. Understand?
As to your question, the 2nd amendment absolutely applies to everyone. Castile wasn't shot because he owned a gun. He wasn't shot because he had a C & C permit. He was shot because the police officer was scared he was reaching for the gun, after being told not to. I don't think Castile was going for his gun. I also don't think the police officer is a cold blooded killer. I think it was a tragic accident. I don't think Yanez should go to jail, but I do think his police career should be over & Castile's family should get a healthy settlement from the city.

Castile looked like a robbery suspect from 4 days earlier because "he had a wide set nose."
There were two Black jurors that found Yanez not guilty.
So that means all the white jurors were racist?
