Did you read JJ's replies to me about this? He is the 'online' decider of what is right and wrong in this case. Or any case for that matter. His view is final he should be along soon to point this out.
this has instructions to jury - so why have police at all? all I get from them is perceived threat...

I am actually still trying to understand the verdict based on this definition of negligence and how they determined that he was not responsible... Is it that they deemed the officer to not be a reasonable prudent person perhaps? He is certainly not guilty of that...
How can this even be defended? If the officer smelled pot , he certainly did not mention it at the scene. The whole sequence is less than 3 min in total. He hands the cop his license and obviously reaches for his registration which is prob in his glove compartment where the officer would see a gun that he tells him about. The officer freaks. He does not give him further instructions, but just goes ahead and shoots the guy.
To the comment that Castile failed to follow what they teach you, I am sure he did, and so would 90% of the people in his situation.
Ever been pulled into a secondary at an airport and asked "why are you nervous"? oh, I don't know, because I am in a caged white room with armed people? Do you think I have anything to be nervous about, cause I think I do - I am not in control of my life, someone else is. And how my day goes depends on what they had for breakfast.
