Ah, no. I believe Mr. Castile had a gun in his lap (or in his possession) and didn’t follow instructions.
I don’t think this is the right lawyer since the two cases are entirely different.
No, Castile was follwing the officer’s instructions to show his ID.
You should watch the Castile dashcam video. The officer appeared (to me anyway) to panic and start blasting. He was telling Castile to get his ID but Castile told him he had a gun and the officer was giving him contradictory orders as to whether he should get it out of his pocket or not. It may not have been murder, but it did not need to happen.
I expect Bennett chased down the family and told them he had experience in a similar case.
Actually, they’re very similar cases. In both cases a human being was senselessly murdered by someone who thought he could get away with it because he had a badge.
However, in the Castile case, there is also a Second Amendment issue not present in the more recent one.
Have to confess I’m astonished any person here would ever imply that possession of a legal firearm by a CCW holder in any way justifies his street execution.
