You accused him of driving under the influence. He wasn’t driving stupid.

_________________________________________________

I don’t know if he was stupid or not but he was driving. The picture that shows him shot in the car was turned around backwards, he was indeed the driver.

He apparently had a gun in his lap, that is not illegal, even covering it up so the cop won’t see it isn’t illegal if you have a CCW permit and he apparently did. The fact that the address change had not been made was only an administrative mistake.

It is too early to make a judgment about what happened here BUT early indications are that it was a bad shoot. The cop got scared when he saw the gun. The guy had as much right to have the gun as the cop did. I think the guy was kind of stupid to have a gun on his lap and not have his hands in plain sight all the time.

It sounds like he got killed for having a broad nose and a gun on his lap, neither of those things is illegal. I hope evidence comes up to make the cop look like he did the right thing but so far it isn’t looking good.

I disagree. The reason as a CHL holder I keep my hands firmly on the steering wheel is because I follow the proper procedure for my state because I don’t want to get shot.

You should tell the authorities what you, if anything.

It appears the video was a mirror image due to the cell camera. Everything was flipped on the video. Lots of people, not just Karl, felt Castile was the passenger in the beginning, and I initially thought that too.
