Dashcam footage released of Philando Castile's execution

[Mastermind2002]

Saw the shit at the gym

The only thing is he should have worded it differently than I have a gun. He should have said I'm licensed to carry and have a gun and maybe told him where it was.

Exactly, dude should have been clear and concise with his wording. Let the officer know that you have a gun and where the gun is located then ask if it's still okay for you to get your license because it's in the same area as the gun. Also, move slowly.

man I can't click this right now. I will later.

 

[Mastermind2002]

I believe you're correct but his scared and panicked actions caused a man's death so he should be in jail for that.

I can't say I'm on board with the cop going to jail for this because the action happened way too fast. Who's to say Castile goes for the gun and kills the officer. The officer's hesitation could cost him his life. When you're in a situation like that you can't hesitate. If you give somebody a direct order and they disobey it you got to do what you go to do. You can say that Castile was a good man and would never try to harm a cop but the officer doesn't know that.

 

[Coldchi]

Fuck The Police!
They never try to apply first aid until after they know you're dead.
Mufuckas just sat there and watched em bleed out for 5 fuckin mins before even trying to treat em.

 

[babydaddy]

if cop yells he going for a his gun or he reaching for my gun, thats protocol they are about to shoot, even if thats not what is happening at the time. I seen this one stop where the guy in the car tells the officer i got a gun, and officer ask the guy to step of the car so he can search the car. my opinion the officer was wreckless. i wonder if the officer had a body cam on?

 

[gene cisco]

Did the jurors see this shit? This is insane.

I hate how the media treats these things like trained professionals who are to be respected, but when they act like untrained bitches, the media doesn't say shit.

If a regular person does this, they'd be doing time. Period. End of story. But we live in a country where police dogs have more rights than people. It just has to stop.

There's no "If's" in this case, we are going by the facts. The cop panicked and shot killing him. There's no defense called "Oops my bad", a man was killed and he should have to pay.

The facts are the officer told Castile not to reach for it (regardless if Castile was reaching for his license, gun or whatever) Castile disobeyed the order which at that point the officer felt his life was threatened because he doesn't know if this dude is reaching for a gun or not. Therefore the officer was in his rights to shoot to eliminate the threat. Like I said it's sad for all parties involved but I don't believe the cop should do time over it.

 

[sumofyallniggasisbitches2]

After he informed the cop that he had a gun the dynamics changed. At that point he should've paused and asked the cop if he still wanted him to reach in there to get his license and registration. It happened so fast that the cop panicked. If someone says they have a gun and they're reaching for a license in the same area as the gun you're not going to just take somebody's word for it that they're reaching for a license. Just playing devil's advocate. It's very sad what happened for all parties involved but I don't believe this cop was intentionally trying to kill this dude.

FUCK THAT NOISE......motherfuckas ALWAYS making excuses for cops killing us....WHat the fuck is it gonna take for one of these pigs do actually judged by the media and by the rest of these cacs as irresponsible in the way that they are dealing with our community.

No excuses made; just offering my analysis on what happened and looking at it from a logical point of view not an emotional one. I didn't agree with the officers who killed Terrence Crutcher or Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Tamir rice etc. Those officers were in the wrong. In this particular case I don't feel that way.

 

[Nochturnal]

Fuck this cop and the jury who let his bitchass walk

 

[KrafMatik]

I thought it was said that the cop asked to see the weapon ID? Black men we have to move cautiously even when our paperwork is in order.

 

[yaBoi]

this country is fucked all the proof you need is in that video

You want to move cautiously period when dealing with cops. A lot of times we get too comfortable. We have to treat each encounter with a cop with upmost caution and high alert. No quick movements, yes sir, no sir. Do everything you need to do to get out of that encounter alive.

 

[lightbright]

Scared little spic

That faggot was still outta breath after ten fuckin minutes like her just got finished with a 26k marathon....no way on earth he should have had a job in law enforcement or been in possession of a gun !!!!

.

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

That was an execution

Fear of the Black male is a muthafucka.

That was an execution right in front of his family. It is more like a hunting license than fear.

 

[Riggz]

So the NRA has nothing to say about this? I guess he's the wrong complexion for them to give a fuck

 

[thundercat]

I'd torture the fuck outta that dude.

 

[mangobob79]

It's very sad what happened for all parties

SO U MEAN TO TELL US U SOMEHOW FEEL "SAD" FOR THE KILLER COP?

Who's to say Castile goes for the gun and kills the officer

SO U ALSO MAKING UP HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS TO TRY TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THE EVIL?

If you give somebody a direct order and they disobey it you got to do what you go to do.

OKAY U SAY CASTILLE "DISOBEYED' ? IS THAT WHAT U R IMPLYING HERE?

The facts are the officer told Castile not to reach for it (regardless if Castile was reaching for his license, gun or whatever) Castile disobeyed the order which at that point the officer felt his life was threatened because he doesn't know if this dude is reaching for a gun or not. Therefore the officer was in his rights to shoot to eliminate the threat. Like I said it's sad for all parties involved but I don't believe the cop should do time over it

thats a lot of 'splaining & compassion for a trained professional but somehow the civilian should be more trained to deal with cops ? mmkay

 

[T_Holmes]

Man, I should not have watched this. Don't even know what I was thinking.

But since I did... I can't see how anybody could call that shooting justified. The only potential defense the cop had was non-compliance, but he didn't give anyone a chance to comply. As soon as Castile said he had a gun, he said don't reach for it. And then...bullets. He can claim whatever he wants to, but there's no way he made all of the assessments he did in the timeframe that went down.

Dude panicked, plain and simple. Cops get it beaten into their heads that they have to do whatever they have to do to get home each night, and because of that, you get reactions like this. Over-adrenalized officers with guns overreacting to a situation they could easily de-escalate if they just took a few breaths. He could hear how jacked up he sounded afterwards. He couldn't even catch his breath.

Not that I'm justifying what went down. At all. This guy had no business with a badge or a gun, and even the department knows that because they fired him. But even with that, the same department (and the system around it) has his back, because they know that he's a monster that they created.

It reminds me of a video I saw a while back that was a PI that almost got shot because the officer checking on him drew down after the guy took his earpiece out. The cop drew down, point blank, finger on his trigger talking about, "What did I tell you about reaching?" Side note: nothing. Not once before that moment did the cop say anything about reaching. Two cops and a supervisor later, and it still took them two minutes to talk the first officer into putting his gun down. And after all of that, they still found some reason to arrest the PI. But hey, at least he didn't get shot (which, sadly, at this point, is the standard we're living with).

 

[LennyNero1972]

Damn, that's fucked.

 

[mangobob79]

LISTEN TO THE BROTHER AT THE 22MIN MARK

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

So they say fuck the video and the testimony of the only eye witness besides his kid.

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

So they were after him anyway according to this video.

 

[lightbright]

They NEVER....give a fuck...only thing they care about is $ n owning guns...of all kinds !!!!

You gotta feel bad for the daughter,she going to have nightmares for the rest of her life because of this piece of shit.....

Therefore the officer was in his rights to shoot to eliminate the threat. Like I said it's sad for all parties involved but I don't believe the cop should do time over it.

Which part of the video shows Castile reaching for his gun? All that is in the video is the voice of a compliant individual who was pulled over with his family for being black. In the midst of speaking in a respectful manner, the officer panicks and unloads seven rounds into that respectful black man. Although the officer claims Castile reached for his gun, the wife who witnessed the ordeal refutes that claim. Moreover, the video seems to clearly demonstrate that the officer never actually saw the weapon or where it was located--which begs the question: how could the officer claim Castile was going for a weapon when he didn't even know where the weapon was? In summary, your analysis of this situation is far too deferential to police, and as long as people continue to think like you, cops will continue killing black people with impunity.

 

[WorldEX]

This shit makes so damn mad.

Man and his buddy both armed with guns walks up to a car. Inside the car there is a man, a woman and child. Where is the threat?

Cop and partner walks up to a car. Inside the car, there is a man, a woman and child. Where is the threat?

Who more dangerous?
How fast can driver of the laid down fire on either side of vehicle to two arm men?

I HATE law enforcement always have. Like a HUGE disdain, I see them in the hospital and don't smile at them or nothing. Fuck them.

If they allow their peers to do this shit and don't speak up or take action they are JUST as guilty.

As a doctor, if I get a whiff of someone doing something unethical, I have to report it.

He should've placed his hands on the dashboard not moving when mentioning he had a gun. There's several things that he should've done to assure he'd make it home alive.

All that is true but the bottom line is the cop panicked once the gun was mentioned and a man lost his life. He was reaching for his weapon and the cop knows this, the cop also knows he fucked up. One can tell by his reaction.

Both made mistakes, one paid with his life and one didn't pay at all.

 

[jasonblacc]

it ain't even about us doing wrong, unless you count being black ass doing wrong.

These muthafuckas ain't scared either, im tired of niggas accepting and repeating that shit so much. White folks in general, yes. Police shooting niggas with no straps, niggas in handcuffs, niggas running from them, these muhfuckas are not scared and by repeating that like it's true, we give it all the validation it needs to be used as a defense. Stop buying and saying that gotdamn shit.

Fuck these muhfuckas man

I agree with everything you said.......my response was really to the thread were the lady and her boyfriend got pulled over and everyone pointed out how they handled it wrong and was lucky they didn't get it. My point is it don't matter how you handle it as long as your black. See the guy in SC who was told to get his license and still got shot.

I HATE law enforcement always have. Like a HUGE disdain, I see them in the hospital and don't smile at them or nothing. Fuck them.

The they'll talk about then they talk about the no snitching thing in th African American community yet they have the same policy in unions

Castile moms went in on FB live... I agree with her 100%

The cop panicked once he saw Castile go into the act of reaching after being told not to. (Don't pull it) Is the cop supposed to wait for Castile to pull out the gun before shooting him? Is the cop supposed to be that trusting of a civilian that he would trust that Castile would be honest in reaching for his license instead of a gun? To the cop Castile is a stranger; he doesn't know him from a hole in the wall. Put yourself in the cop shoes what would you do?
