008, FUCK YOU!

Thomas Kelly, the attorney representing Yanez, confirmed to the Star Tribune that his client had stopped Castile for the broken taillight ― and also because Yanez believed Castile looked like the suspect in an armed robbery that had occurred a couple days earlier.

“All he had to have was reasonable suspicion to pull him over,” Kelly said.

He added that Yanez shot Castile “after he reacted to the actions of Mr. Castile.”

“This has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the presence of a gun,” Kelly added. “Deadly force would not have been used if not for the presence of a gun.”
