Be polite. Stay in your car, and KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL. That was also in the video.
I saw the video of Castile being shot. It was a tragedy but Castile should not have moved after the officer warned him three times not to.
Everything was fine at first when the officer approached the car and was talking to Castile. Castile then informed the officer that he was carrying a firearm. The officer responded, in a calm tone, with this first warning, "Okay, don't reach for it, then." Only after Castile started reaching for what the officer thought was his gun, officer Janez warned him twice more to not "...pull it out." It could have been that Castile was just innocently reaching for his wallet and driver's license, but how was officer Janez to know that? He had warned Castile three times not to reach for what he thought was a gun. When a police officer pulls you over and tells you not to move, DON'T FUCKING MOVE! DON'T RESIST! It's only going to end badly.
Cops have their share of dangers when pulling a car over. They never know if the driver they pull over is dangerous or not....
