The prosecution's witness made multiple conflicting statements both out-of-court and in-court.  She is the very definition of an unreliable witness.  That's it!  Nothing special here.  Just a witness that is unable to keep a story straight from one day to the next. Maybe the Officer was guilty, but there's no way for a jury to come to that conclusion.  You can't really fix the system when your witness is at best inconsistent and at worst a liar.

Don't introduce facts to contradict the circlejerk.

This is disgusting. The cop pulled out the gun and shot in the space of time it took to look down and get your wallet. There was no warning. There was no command to put his hands in the air. Castile never disobeyed police instructions. He never lied to the police. He may not even have seen the gun was out. You cannot miscommunicate and then shoot someone.
