“Hate to say but Minneapolis just made the case that every CCW holder has reason to fear for their life in every encounter with law enforcement.”
You obviously don’t know much about the case.
My accountant knows the cops partner very well (practically raised him) and I have followed all the details of the case closely.
Do some research. The cop had good reason to fear for his life.
Any light you could shed on the following would be appreciated:
1) Where was Castille’s gun during the stop (in a holster?, on his lap?, tucked into his waistband? in a pant’s pocket?tucked into the car seat or side panel? etc.)
2) What sort of firearm was it?
3) Was it loaded? A round chambered?
4) Did the defense bring up the notion that the vehicle matched the description of one used in connection with a recent nearby convenience store robbery? There were internet claims that Castille even looked like the robber, and the girlfriend was in possession of the same brand of cigarettes as those taken. Was that all a lie?
5) Were Castille or his girlfriend under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident?
Thanks.
