ORIGINAL: vincentML FR Here is the dashcam video of the shooting. Clearly, the cop panicked. The first shot was fired 46 seconds into the video. At 40 seconds Castillo reports that he has a gun. Within six seconds Yanez twice tells Castillo "don't pull it out" and fires at 46 seconds. Seven shots. Listen to the panic in his voice. It took only six seconds to snuff a man's life after he politely informs the cop about the gun. Six seconds. The Jury's verdict is incredible to me. SOURCE Politely? It was loud enough that the dash cam in the car picked it up several yards away. Then the idiot grabs for something out of the cops sight and ignores orders not to. You previously claimed I "was making shite up" when I told you he was ordered not to grab there now you are saying that he wasn't given enought time, the cop obviously should have waited till he was staring down the barrell of a gun. Yes, "politely" is a good description. You could clearly hear the cop speaking . . . or was HE yelling loud enough to be heard from yards away? No, he was heard over his lapel mike, the same one that you could hear Castile speaking calmly from about 2-3 FEET away. Grab? Where does the term "grab" come from? That implies a quick movement to reach for something? If it was a quick move, then how did the cop have time to repeat himself? A "reach" would probably be considerably more accurate. You use the term "grab" for one reason only, and that is to try to justify the cops unwarranted reaction. Lastly, after Castile tells the cop that he has a firearm the cop tells him to not pull it out. Castile replies that he is not pulling it out. The cop then tells him again to not pull it out. If Castile was reaching for his license, probably in his hip pocket, which the cop had told him to get, then he was NOT pulling the gun out. I agree that he should have stopped what he was doing immediately, but the fact remains that he WAS following the cops instructions and got killed for it. If he had put his hands back where the cop could see them he would be alive. It does look like you have a point about the cops mike, however if Castile ddn't have to yell neither did the cop. The vtdeo didn't show how he was moving. I think he video got the cop off. You remember the cop kept repeating that he told lnot to do it. There is also the of fchance that the jury may have had a little more information than we do. Yanez said it only twice. You keep trying to stretch the truth. Six seconds, seven shots, no gun in sight, cop fired from the Force a bit too late. Yanez panicked. . . .six seconds, seven shots, no gun in sight. Tragic. . . driving while black. . . .
