Please show me the recording from where he got shot. Not just his kid and wife crying. I've been trying to find it

The dash cam footage? It's everywhere.

I heard him say don't reach for it. Then it sounds like he reached for something. I get that he reached for his license, but he reached right after he said he had a firearm. I kinda get why he got shot.

You also heard Castile say he wasn't reaching for it. There was also forensic evidence that his gun hand wasn't near his gun (shot in trigger finger, no corresponding holes or wounds near the area where his gun was: right front pocket).

His gun may have been in the glovebox or in the trunk, that's not my point. You heard the officer say don't reach. If you're a cop, a guy says he has a gun, and then goes into his pocket, I might be a bit spooked and make a bad decision too.

Cop probably did the wrong thing, but I kinda get it. He should've just asked, do you want me to reach into my pocket to get my ID? That's what I do when I'm pulled over.

Reaching makes a noise?

That cop was so freaked out that he really didn't give Castile time to respond to his changing commands before pulling the trigger. He went from 0-100 in the blink of an eye.

And that you can blame on that horseshit "warrior cop" training.

No, the cop said "don't reach!" that sounds like he reached for something.



Yeah I think the cop shouldn't have shot. My point is that I think I can understand why he did. Had he been reaching for a gun, and the cop didn't shoot, he'd be dead. So when a cop says don't reach, and you reach, that's a really tough spot for a cop to be in.

What did the witness say?

Right, his girlfriend and daughter are going to say he deserved it.
