9:05:00 p.m. — Castile’s vehicle came to a complete stop.

9:05:15 – 9:05:22 p.m. — Yanez approached Castile’s car on the driver’s side.

9:05:22 – 9:05:38 p.m. — Yanez exchanged greetings with Castile and told him of the brake light problem.

9:05:33 p.m. — St. Anthony Police Officer Joseph Kauser, who had arrived as backup, approached Castile’s car on the passenger’s side.

9:05:38 p.m. — Yanez asked for Castile’s driver’s license and proof of insurance.

9:05:48 p.m. — Castile provided Yanez with his proof of insurance card.

9:05:49 – 9:05:52 p.m. — Yanez looked at Castile’s insurance information and then tucked the card in his pocket.

9:05:52 – 9:05:55 p.m. — Castile told Yanez: “Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me.” Before Castile completed the sentence, Yanez interrupted and replied, “Okay” and placed his right hand on the holster of his gun.

9:05:55 – 9:06:02 p.m. — Yanez said “Okay, don’t reach for it, then.” Castile responded: “I’m… I’m … [inaudible] reaching…,” before being again interrupted by Yanez, who said “Don’t pull it out.” Castile responded, “I’m not pulling it out,” and Reynolds said, “He’s not pulling it out.”

Yanez screamed: “Don’t pull it out,” and pulled his gun with his right hand. Yanez fired seven shots in the direction of Castile in rapid succession. The seventh shot was fired at 9:06:02 p.m. Kauser did not touch or remove his gun.

9:06:03 – 9:06:04 p.m. — Reynolds yelled, “You just killed my boyfriend!”

9:06:04 – 9:06:05 p.m. — Castile moaned and said, “I wasn’t reaching for it.” These were his last words.


The cop who shot Philando is such a ****ing dumbass. I get infuriated reading through their dialogue, he clearly wasn't reaching for his gun, and even if he was, if he was intending to use it he wouldn't announce the fact that he's carrying!

How can anyone be so ****ing stupid!?! GOD, I hate the police sometimes.

This truly is tragic man... I don't like that people are making this about race because it doesn't seem that way. I genuinely believe the officer thought he was reaching for a weapon(Even though he said he wasn't). You can tell in his voice that he wasn't just some racist cop looking to get away with something, and that he was genuinely heartbroken by what he did. I'm happy he wasn't charged because why ruin two lives over an accident? I understand he took someone's life, but it was obviously an accident. Don't let your emotions take over your judgement and look at the situation objectively. RIP to Philando man, that video is truly heartbreaking.

The law should apply the same to everyone. Do you know how many people say that what they did was an accident? Accident does not excuse negligence. Manslaughter comes in different degrees.

He's supposed to be an officer of the law and trained to handle situations like this and not be a trigger finger happy idiot.

He killed an innocent man, who was following the officers directions and got shot for it. Yeah, there damn well better be consequences.

He obviously thought something was happening that wasn't. He didn't just murder the man because he wanted. It's not like Philando didn't have a gun, so the officer was not crazy. If someone was reaching in the general direction of their weapon while telling you they weren't reaching for their weapon would you risk your life and trust them? I'd have a hard time saying I wouldn't react similarly to how the officer did. I would have probably asked what he was reaching for but who knows?

I wouldn't be able to say this man committed manslaughter because I can genuinely see how he thought his life was endangered.

He's supposed to be an officer of the law and trained to handle situations like this and not be a trigger finger happy idiot.
And yet, officers of the law are still human. If only they could be the mindless defenders of the public we want them to be... He was not trigger finger happy, he genuinely thought someone was intending to do him harm. It sucks that a man lost his life, but that is clearly what happened in the video.

He followed the directions in the worst possible way. He reached for whatever was in his pocket, which happened to be right next to his weapon. The officer continuously told him not to reach for his weapon and he reached in that general area. So no, he didn't get shot for following the officers directions. He got shot for reaching in the area of his weapon while being told not to reach for his weapon.

Unfortunate but preventable.

But I do find it funny that some among you criticize the cop for his actions but given the situation with the information he had, you would've done the same.

Not even close. No one ANNOUNCES they have a fire arm if they are intending to use it. It makes matters even worse this man was shot down with his daughter in the back seat.

Stop sympathizing with the cop especially since his ass is free.

Oh please spare black people of this typical "It's not about racist" BS. White America mourned and wept for Otto Warmbier when they found out he died and blame North Korea. Despite the fact this man broke the law in their country and had to pay the price.

Yet every time a black man is shot down in the streets like a dog it's excuses on top of excuses why their death was justified.

You're looking at this from the wrong angle.

You're a cop who just pulled over someone who told you they have a firearm. They haven't told you where in the car it is or if it's on their person.

Now assuming that he was actually reaching to grab his permit, he still was reaching on his side that generally is where a gun is.

I dare you to be put in the same scenario and not let your fight or flight instinct take over.

Now obviously, they should've just have him step out of the car and then search for the permit and boom problem solved. But hindsight is 20/20, sorta like yours and mine responses.

Also, to your next bit, about black men being put down like dogs and everyone saying it's always justified, study those cases thoroughly. You will find about 80% of those cases the cops are justified.

You know you're going to continue to believe this man's reaction was not irresponsible and logical especially with that last bit in bold.

I done been through with this white people damn near 100x already. I don't know why I keep trying to explain myself. Think what you want.

When America has more sympathy for a white college prick who decided to steal in North Korea who died unjustly than they do for a man who was shot down in a car with his child in the backseat. I don't want to hear it.

Ah the inability to actually reply with common sense and rather rely on ignorance. The trademark response for Black Lives Matter.

And for your first part, I actually believe that the cop should've been sentenced, he made a decision that cost a man his life without a full understanding of the situation.

This is the problem with people who denounce every homicide by a cop as "unjustified", they only look at the final moments and rarely look the picture as a whole.

But you'r right, it's pointless to argue, you rather live in a world where cops are supposedly murdering blacks on the daily instead of a world where justifiable homicide is an actual thing.

It's obvious the guy had no business being a cop the guy was clearly paranoid and ended up unloading his entire gun with a 4 year old in the back, you can't say the cop handled the situation the right way. And I heard before this situation philando got pulled over 48 times in his life mind of them times he ever did anything and handled it correctly. It's pretty obvious as blacks we have to walk around egg shells with cops and are more likely to be profiled.

You look at cases with a white person being an obvious threat you can find plenty cases of cops knowing how to descalate situation to bring the person alive, while we have to make sure they don't escalate the situation.

You can't say philando did anything wrong here.

How do you even know whether I support black lives matter or not? And I'm also failing to see why you dragged BLM in this when I mentioned nothing of sort. Now your just showing your ass.

And it's even more hilarious is in my first reply I NEVER said every black man who was killed by a cop was innocent. I simply stated that black men are being shot down in the streets like dogs and it's always excuses on top of excuses. People even tried to JUSTIFY the murder of Tamir Rice and this boy was 12 years old playing with a toy gun. I'm fully aware that not every black man who is shot is innocent but there is something extremely wrong where these cops are shooting black men and even black children and often they are not charged.

I'm failing to see how a cop can shoot a 12 year old child and he doesn't end up behind bars. So stop talking out of your ass and pay attention to what I'm saying.

I'm just going to assume you're white and call it a day. At the of the day yall won't admit racism for nothing

He's white. Whatever you are saying is going to go in one ear and right out the other. They believe in their hearts that racism died when Martin Luther King Kr did.

If you bothered to read the rest of my posts on this thread, you'd see I believe the cop was in the wrong.

To you're other point though, blacks don't have to walk on eggshells, as your said he's been pulled over 48 times already and all of those went fine.

This is on the cases where it went wrong, it happens to whites too. If anything, incidents like this show that cops need to be retrained when handling situations where they know the driver has a gun.

How do you even know whether I support black lives matter or not? And I'm also failing to see why you dragged BLM in this when I mentioned nothing of sort. Now your just showing your ass.

Firstly, I know you support BLM because I've seen you make posts about them before but good job trying to hide it for some stupid reason.

As to your second point, where you supposedly said that "you never said every black man killed by the cops was innocent" A simple scroll to your first reply proves that you never said that so once again, you lied.

But back to your "Black people being put down like dogs" study the ****ing cases. It's not hard to realize that were breaking the law and took actions that led to their death, Micheal Brown for example. But I em glad you brought up Tamir Rice, a case where the cops were completely in the wrong.

But again you tell me to stop talking out of my ass and pay attention yet you're the blatantly ignoring the fact that basic human reaction isn't so cut and dray as the law.

But you're one of these blacks that will scream racism whenever someone has an opposing opinion

See? I can use your race as an ending too.

But seriously, educate yourself. We agree that this case was preventable, but for you to take this authority that I'm sympathizing with the cops simply because I pointed out that everyone who criticized the cop for his reaction and thinks they would've handled it better is ignorant.

I agree in the sense that the guy was genuinely scared he might go for the gun but this just shoes me the guy isn't fit to be a cop. We expect cops to be held to a higher standard and be able to accurately deal with potential life threatening situations.

I think he should go to jail many people make mistakes and have to pay for it and send a message to future cops that you can't negligently be pulling your gun on people the dudes 4 year old was in the back seat you think he was considering that when he was shooting.

Also I do think there's a racial component in how it's legally and media deals with it imagine same exact situation and it's a white guy than I'm sure gun rights advocates would want to prosecute this unjust killing.

In the end of the day that man shouldn't of died and things need to change so it doesn't happen again.
