"Don't reach for it then".
The dashcam video concludes with shots of Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter, who was in the back seat, standing outside the vehicle - streaming the aftermath on Facebook. But the dashboard camera footage, shown in court during Yanez's trial, had not previously been made public. Um he just kept his arms up and I don't remember hearing anything coming out of his mouth if he said anything, ' he said.
There are lessons in the just-released dashcam video of the police shooting-death of Philando Castile in a St. Paul suburb past year. According to Castile's girlfriend in the front seat, he was reaching for either his license or registration from his wallet in his pocket.
On Tuesday, Minnesota authorities released the dash cam footage of the deadly encounter between Minnesota police officer Jeronimo Yanez and black motorist Philando Castile.
Before Castile finished that sentence, Yanez began pulling his weapon out of the holster. After warning Castile multiple times not to pull out his gun, Yanez shot Castile.
In the following moments, Yanez can be seen firing several shots into the auto while his partner - who is standing on the passenger side of the vehicle - flees from the area of the auto.
Following is an excerpt of the BCA interview in which Yanez talks about whether he saw a gun.
Jeronimo Yanez killed Philando Castile after pulling him over for a broken light in Falcon Heights while riding with his girlfriend and child on July 6 previous year. But a mostly white jury found him not guilty of the charges. Castile notifies the officer that he is carrying a firearm, and the officer tells him "don't reach for it" and "don't pull it out".

Prosecutors said Castile wasn't a threat, and Yanez acted recklessly by not telling Castile to stop or freeze before firing seven rounds.
The officer says, "Don't pull it out". Yanez begins to remove his own gun, and though some of the exchange is hard to hear, Yanez warns him, "Don't pull it out".
The video doesn't show what happened in the auto. That video, seen around the world, became an important optic in the national debate on police shootings. "I wasn't reaching", Mr. Castile says softly just after the gunfire stops.
Yanez was acquitted on June 16 of criminal charges in the fatal shooting of Castile, prompting marches and protests.
Officers direct Reynolds out of the auto.
The city of St. Anthony, which patrols Falcon Heights, where the shooting took place, announced last week that Yanez would no longer work for the police department.
Yanez was charged with manslaughter but was cleared last week by a jury.
