No indication of what?
His gun was no out in the open.

I've seen this kind of characterization after a lot of these incidents, and it just strikes me as childish and dishonest.I must've missed the part where the penalty for doing drugs (even with a kid in the back - as vile as that is) was death without trial.
Even when the gun is sitting in the lap of a suspected armed robber who was just pulled over?There is a gun in my house. That doesn't mean there is a legitimate threat or any threat at all inside my house. If I carry my gun in my car, that doesn't mean there is a legitimate threat either. A cop carryings a gun every single day. A cop should know a gun itself is not a threat.
So if you were a cop you would let someone point their gun at you before shooting? You would have a very short career as a cop.
There is no evidence that he pointed a gun at the cop. I think the cop would have said that and it would have been self defense.
The truth? It interests you less than your biases, judging from your comments. But here are two facts to brighten your morning.
1. Castile had a permit for his gun, issued by Hennepin County.
2. The gun was not in his lap. It was not out in the open. The policeman knew of the gun only because Castile acknowledged he was carrying one pursuant to his permit.
