It was not Castile’s fault that the nervous, poorly-trained cop gave him two conflicting instructions.
Castille didn’t help himself by carrying while being too stoned to understand simple commands...
From the dash cam video:
“Sir I do have to tell you I do have a firearm on me”
“Don’t reach for it [then?]”
“don’t pull it out!”
“don’t pull it out!!!!”
Bang

How would a “reasonable person” have responded to the above directions given by the cop? By the 2nd ‘Don’t’, he should have stopped moving - but he didn’t. Too stoned to think.
