He's appointing a former U.S. Justice Department attorney to that role. Philando Castile was killed by a St. Anthony police officer during a traffic stop July 6. Video of the immediate aftermath was streamed live on Facebook by Castile's girlfriend, who says he was reaching for his wallet when he was shot.
