re: Dash cam video of Philando Castile killing

So the guy for NO reason tells the police officer he has a gun and then goes for gun. Sorry don't believe it. I think this cop totally over reacted. I think the guy went for his wallet to show his license and got shot.
I also think that this cop put lives in danger by shooting in a car with a small child in backseat. He had backup and should have de-escalated the situation by stepping back from the car and handled it in a different way.

Wow, I expected a Nazi to run up screaming racial slurs and just start shooting. You know, because WHITE COPS are out to kill black people. That's what my TV keeps telling me.

Can we talk about how completely insane this is

Yeah that won't fly in court later when the officer claims you consented to a search or waived your right to your property because you were "following orders". Sometimes the only way to enact your rights are to assert them during the stop. You can't revoke consent in court

Well it is pretty fricked up that he would ride around in a car with a kid and smoke marijuana.

Wow that cop thought of everything except if I shot in this car I could hit the little girl.

I feel bad for the Police officer who had to shoot him because of his threat to the officers because of his refusal to comply with a legal command.

You also see the officer repeatedly tell him not to reach for the gun, but he does so anyway.

I don't know if the guy should have been guilty of a murder, manslaughter, etc. I guess I'll defer to the jury that knows a lot more about this case than I ever will. However it seems very clear this guy should never have been a cop. His actions and comments show him to be way too nervous and reckless for that job.

No. Obviously I shoot everyone who says they have a gun and subsequently moves. It's just safer for me and mine.
Ridiculous posts get ridiculous responses.

That's more nonsensical than the "I don't know where the gun was but he was reaching for it."

He didn't.

Not only that he had his other hand on the wheel and was staring straight ahead....Yanez was in complete control, but he did not know it.
Cop fricked up....he may not be criminally liable due to the acquittal , but he and the department are in for a world of hurt in a civil proceeding.....burden of proof threshold is much lower.

Seems likely but you don't know what Philando's intentions were. Maybe he was going to get some revenge for Trayvon and what not.
And, more importantly, the cop didn't know what his intentions were either, especially with Philando telling him he had a gun, the cop telling him repeatedly not to get it, and Philando apparently continuing to go for it or something near it.

No he fricking wasn't and I hope you quit your job before you shoot some innocent person.

You're welcome to believe that. But that's not the same thing as having evidence to believe it. The video does not support your belief, though it doesn't contradict it either.
So can you agree that with no evidence to support that belief, there's not enough evidence to convict the cop?
