[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1429834, member: 122"] Here's my take from afar: Castile was high at the time and wasn't lucid enough to follow directions. He was reaching for his wallet and not the gun but cop had no way of knowing that and was nervous as it was around the same time as other incidents were people were targeting police. Finicum looked like suicide by cop. It looked like he was reaching for his gun and he knew that wasn't going to end well. Even if he would have pulled his gun I don't think he would have used it though. In hind sight both cases could have been handled differently without loss of life, but it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. People complain about cops getting away with murder because they protect each other, but in cases where charges are brought they go before jury of civilians. It's not like a jury of other cops are finding them not guilty. And for people that suggest the Finicum shooting was planned out, with the FBI and State Police getting together and agreeing on something everything out; please explain why they would do that? What was the benefit? With dozens of people involved, none of them had an ethical bone in their body? But as I've said before, people will believe whatever fits their narrative and no amount of proof will change their opinion. Myself included. [/QUOTE]
