Why else would he be shot. He committed no crime. None. Nothing. Zero. Zilch.
So why else would he be dead outside of being executed for the reasons he was pulled over; a wide set nose and a broken tail light.
So you can't prove it, that's all you had to say.
There are a multitude of reasons as to why a person would be shot during a routine traffic stop, I hope your simple deduction skills are able to grasp that.
To my knowledge if you have a weapon, assuming legally, you are obligated to inform a police officer immediately upon contact.
Mr. Castile did exact that, told the officer he had a gun and a permit and he still got shot.
I think this particular officer at the very least is unfit; he seemed overly "jumpy" and nervous, and he overreacted. I think officers like him need better training.
The cop acted way to fast. He should have asked him to put his hands in the air.
Castile had marijuana in his system. He should have stopped reaching for whatever he was reaching for when the cop told him to stop.
I made several posts addressing this issue already. To me, it is all about police training! You should make an independent post because it is not like I disagreed with YOU. sheesh
I didn't say you disagreed with me. I just pointed out my disagreement with part of your post. Sheesh back at ya

well, if you don't want to read all my posts in this thread and just chose to focus on ONE part, I have no words for you. I think you are one of those posters just like to argue for the sake of arguing.
By the way, this is my entire post
It's my personal belief that there should be mandatory education in America about how to interact with police officers. This is by no means a suggestion that Mr. Castile did anything wrong. He most certainly did not deserve what happened to him. I think that education may help prevent future tragedies.
When interacting with police officers, you need to do exactly what they tell you to do. You do not ever want to do anything that may cause an officer to fear for his safety or the safety of others. They put their lives on the line every single day. Many officers have been killed during traffic stops.
This said, I think this particular officer should have gone into another line of work.
We can have an armed society with excellent police officers, or a disarmed society with the nervous jumpy officers. But when we have an armed society with the officers like Yanez, you get a dead Mr. Castile, and a scared officer screeching like a prepubescent child.
Sad.
By the way, this case is a wake up for me, I absolutely believe there should be mandatory education in America about how to interact with police officers because God knows when they will introduce New style of police training aims to produce 'guardians,' not 'warriors'. sheesh
You should be opening your eyes TO the Republican mindset. Black folks should be the most independent, conservative people in this country. They should be for gun rights and above all, less intrusion in their lives by this government that has been hell for them. From slavery to Jim Crow to welfare..big government has been the enemy of the African American in this country.
While that is true that big government has been the enemy of black Americans the Republicans don't support small government when it comes to drugs. In fact they are worse than the Democrats.
So I'm watching commentary about the trial. The EMT testified they had to dig deep in philando's pockets to get his weapon. Yanez partner was on the other side of the car with thumbs in vest clearly not seeing a threat.
Was it even determined that castille tail light was even out?
This is just a case of officer encounters black man and is instantly scared. There has to be a way weed those types off the force.
There are a multitude of reasons as to why a person would be shot during a routine traffic stop, I hope your simple deduction skills are able to grasp that.
And those "multitude of reasons" to JUSTIFY shooting someone during a routine traffic stop include committing no crime whatsoever?
Really now? Gimme some reasons for justifiably shooting a law abiding citizen that is committing no crime during a routine traffic stop that would make sense to the both of us! Just two reasons. More if you'd like.
