He said he had a CWP, then got lit up when he went for his license and permit. Did he have his ID and 9 in the same pocket?

Apparently the gun was in his right front and wallet was in the back right. When the officer saw the butt of the gun sticking out he told him to stop reaching, guy said im not, stop reaching, im not, stop reaching, he's not. Cop should have asked him to put his hands up, then step out so he could disarm him. Mr Castile should have put his hands on the steering wheel (like you're instructed to in CWP classes) and offered to let the officer disarm him, and stopped reaching in the direction even if instructed to produce his ID as the officer was evidently and justifiably on edge at that point.

Actually. The dead guy had his pistol out and stuck between his leg and the seat. Which the officer could see and why he kept telling him not to move. But Philando just kept saying "I am getting my license" and reaching towards the gun. This was reported locally but was absolutely ignored by national media. The jury heard it though and found the officer innocent. Go figure.
