That's the excuse he told Castile, but he admitted in testimony that he pulled him over because he thought he looked like a suspect in a robbery committed days earlier (who had a wide set nose). Killed whilst in possession of a black nose..... Right at the beginning of the police video, the officer states he pulled Castile over for having a tail light out...
You know who has a more stressful job? Guys who defuse bombs. You know how they deal with that? They're carefully selected based on their personality traits, and they're very well trained......Police have the most stressful job in the world. Every day, the difference between ending up at home, or ending up at the morgue, could depend on a single decision. Usually they have only fractions of a second to make that decision....
If you want to do something to reduce the number of innocent people being shot by police, you need to do something to reduce the anxiety of the police.....
I understand US cops operate in a stressful environment. Your dumbass laws have flooded the country with guns. They work on streets where just about any citizen could kill them at any time. How could the states reduce police shootings? Select cops more carefully, and train them better.
Minnesota cops like the one that killed Castile (and the Australian woman in her pyjamas) get sixteen weeks at the Academy. It takes a minimum of forty weeks to become a hairdresser. Go figure.
