Good post there, Colonel. And here’s a warning for the concealed-carry folks out there. Better not reach for your wallet during a traffic stop. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times. Of course you’ll won’t be able to produce your driver’s licence. But at least you won’t get shot.
Side note: The cop pulled Castile over because he matched the description of an armed robbery suspect. How did Castile match that description? He had “a wide set nose”.
You made that up. He had a rastafarian doo like the robbery suspect. Questioning the cops reasons for the stop aside. Reaching for anything but the steering wheel when a cop pointing a gun at you is yelling keep your hands on the wheel is decidedly bad for your health. Especially after announcing you have a gun. At that point your skin color has little bearing as his finger is on the trigger, and bullets are color blind.
