... to a 'don't move' order but this was of course after he told him to get his license.

The cop also claims Castile fit the description of someone involved in a crime earlier that week.

This is an example of the BULLSHIT we're tired of; the cops have built in impunity to their consummate over reaction when it comes to blacks were its has been EMPIRICALLY documented is happening too often.

Too many LEOs have no consequence to their actions, matter of fact...they shoot someone they get time off WITH PAY.

What the hell kind of incentive is that to follow procedures !?!?!?

There are some low hanging fruit solutions IMHO that too many LEO depts are NOT wanting to implement to mitigate the disproportionate numbers of blacks being killed by cops in this manner.

Seems Chief Brown from DPD has a lot to say about this
