Online reaction to the shooting dead of 32-year-old Castile has been one of disgust, particularly given it happened so soon after the death of Alton Sterling. Many are shocked at the reckless behavior of the police.<\/p>\n

Many used the fact that Castile\u00a0was carrying a licensed gun when shot to address the NRA\u2019s stance on firearms, asking \u201cAll you \u2018Dont you take my guns\u2019 folks. Are you going to stand for #PhilandoCastile?!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

All you “Dont you take my guns” folks. Are you going to stand for #PhilandoCastile<\/a>?! A licensed gun owner shot over a broken tail light?<\/p>\n

Dear @NRA<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Since ‘All Lives Matter,’ I await your statement supporting legal gun owner and police shooting victim #PhilandoCastile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today.<\/p>\n

For some the video of Castile bleeding in the car produced a pure emotional response. \u00a0\u201cI am broken\u201d<\/em> one person said.<\/p>\n

“It’s okay mommy. It’s okay, I’m right here with you” #PhilandoCastile<\/a>‘s girlfriend’s 4yo daughter said to her mother. & I am broken.<\/p>\n

A cop kept his gun drawn on a INNOCENT dying man he shot and his girlfriend, instead of helping him.. Speechless and sad. #PhilandoCastile<\/a><\/p>\n

With another death of an African-American at the hands of police one twitter user criticized their compassion for the people they should be protecting. \u201cNot help. No sense of humanity. I’m tired.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

#PhilandoCastile<\/a> he was slumped over DYING and the cop continued to point his gun towards him. Not help. No sense of humanity. I’m tired.<\/p>\n

Why are we still reporting it as “an officer involved in the shooting” please? Let’s call a murderer a murderer. #PhilandoCastile<\/a><\/p>\n
