In reports that the cop panicked in fear, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi made the following points: "Philando Castile was not resisting or fleeing." "There was absolutely no criminal intent exhibited by him throughout this encounter." "He was respectful and compliant based upon the instructions and orders he was given." "He volunteered in good faith that he had a firearm – beyond what the law requires." (The NRA has refused to defend Castile, causing many gun supporters to renounce their membership with the NRA because it was becoming apparent they defend only white gun owners) "He emphatically stated that he wasn't pulling it out." "His movement was restricted by his own seat belt." "He was accompanied, in his vehicle, by a woman and a young child." "Philando Castile did not exhibit any intent, nor did he have any reason, to shoot Officer Yanez." "In fact, his dying words were in protest that he wasn't reaching for his gun."
