Dear police in my town,
Please continue to do exactly what you are doing exactly like you are doing it. We law abiding citizen's truely appreciate what you do for us. Please do not fall for all this pantywaist snowflake bullshit. Please do not worry about wether these worthless drug smoking dirtbags like you or not. Also know that if you ever get in trouble out there just look for a blue mark on a curb...these are the homes of well armed people that have your back. We believe in law and order and very much want to live in a society that has both. Do not get disheartened by what appears to be a growing number really worthless people that have never done nor will ever do a single thing for this great country yet still think they get an opinion on how it should be run. I and my fellow patriotic Americans understand that you have voluntarily placed yourself between the good people and the trash and we thank you for it. Our prayers are with you. |

Yanez asked for his DL and Insurance card, Castile handed him the insurance card, then gave him notice he had a gun and then reached for what was probably his wallet with DL and CCW permit, Yanez yelled don't pull your gun, and Castile said it's not my gun then Yanez started shooting. Castile's last words, it wasn't my gun. Yanez pulled the trigger too quick! |

View Quote In the interview with BAC, (paraphrasing) Yanez said he had no prior known contact with Phil. I think Diamond said the same thing about the officers in her BAC interview, but I'm not 100% sure on that...not gonna listen to the interview again Backup officer when interviewed with BAC, also said no prior contact with Phil, that he could recall. Regarding why respond to a days old bolo, not sure, maybe cause the guy hadn't been caught yet, dunno.. ask Yanez. Regarding why was Phil not shot during prior stops, dunno, but I would guess that this was his first stop when he was being eyed as a possible robbery suspect. My question to you, when do you stop looking for a robbery suspect, is there a time limit ? |

Well, I made it this far-- The guy is FOS. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Well, I made it this far-- That is the predictable result of poor training, possibly combined with poor hiring practices on the part of Officer Yanez’ agency. People prone to panic should not be hired as cops. All cops should be given quality force on force training so that they know how to handle incidents like this without reflexively firing their weapons in abject fear. Unfortunately, both problems are likely to persist in the face of ever-shrinking government budgets. |

The problem is the training. Police come out of training with a us against them mentality. After a couple of years on the job most out grow that and become human beings again View Quote For some reason, I never had any issues with him and he even cleared things up for me with other cops twice. We were just sitting around up at the corner store shooting the shit one early morning a few years back and the subject of his rep came up. He said that he fell into the trap that a lot of cops do and that was trying to prove how big an ass you can be for the first few years and then it takes the rest of your career to prove you're not really that big an asshole. I could see that happening I guess. |

When I was working out in the sticks, it was a foregone conclusion that everyone I pulled over had a gun on them - permitted and not.

K. She speaks for him? Because I didn't hear her saying anything in the video other than "he's not reaching for it". Yes, in that interview she was answering questions regarding him. How he wore his gun is irrelevant. That is an opinion, when you are reaching towards your firearm after being told not to, well that causes problems. Did he present the ability, opportunity and jeopardy to cause Yanez grave bodily harm? My opinion, is yes, yes, and unsure. I say no. His department agrees. You know, he was not fired, he left with a form of severance on his own. The news articles got that wrong. We'll see how the civil suit goes. The civil matter is of no concern to me.

That is a foolish comment. Guy says he is lawfully armed. Good, no problem. Cop didn't seem to mind at all. Guy says he is not reaching for it. Means absolutely nothing. People "say things" all the time that are directly different than what they are actually doing. People that resist arrest are often recorded as hollering "I'm not resisting" while they plainly are resisting. All the guy had to do was to quit reaching for his firearm when repeatedly told to do so and we wouldn't have ever heard of this incident. But he didn't follow instructions and the officer rationally felt his life was in danger and responded as he did. Also, the author of that article kept mentioning "poor training".
