I know it no longer amazes us how ridiculous this all is, but here's just another example of how reason just goes out the window.

Since Castile’s death, there have been investigations into why Castile was pulled over in the first place. One report by NPR found Castile was stopped 46 times by police. [Over what period?]. It cost him more than $6,000 in fines, and only six of these stops were for things an officer could observe from the outside, like a speeding ticket or broken tail light.

OK, a few points.
Only 6 traffic stops were for things that the office could observe! Firstly I doubt the NPR report, but sure its possible. But more importantly I haven't been pulled over more than 4 time in my entire life, and I used to ride a MC as a maniac as a young fella.
Secondly the footage clearly shows the officer saying "don't reach for the weapon", and lastly dope was found in the car, and Mr Castile was possible high. How no postmortem drug test was taken, heaven knows.
And there's outrage that he was shot!?
When will the media educate the public about what it's actually like to be a LEO, how easily a LEO can be injured or killed, and why you should do exactly what the FUCK you're told when asked.
If you want to drive illegally (broken tail light), with drugs in the vehicle, while high, and not follow LEO directions. frankly, fuck you. How dear you put that officer through this, you died cos you're a moron, he has to live with having killed you.
