What did Phil Castile do? Aside from reach for his wallet?
The officer thought he was pulling over an armed robbery suspect. He probably thought he was reaching for something else.
I always keep my hands in view and if I need to get my wallet, I tell them what I’m doing before reaching for it.
He was reaching for his gun, not his wallet.
Aside from refuse to comply with simple directions to keep his hands still and refrain from reaching for anything? You mean?
Do you believe the police approached him with guns drawn, to demand his (suspended) license and (unlikely) car registration?
That they demanded his information at gunpoint?
When the officer in Lavish’s live-stream, can be heard shouting “I TOLD HIM not to reach for anything.”
Good old Mr. Phil, didn’t think even at gunpoint, that he should simply follow a simple direction to keep his hands up? After 53 other traffic stops?
