Against the earlier shooting in Baton Rouge Louisiana, unfortunately this police shooting will lead the news cycles – guaranteed.
This latest shooting happened only a few hours ago. Police said the incident began with a traffic stop around 9 p.m (link).
Sketchy Details / No media yet – As best we can determine, a woman named Lavish Reynolds (aka Diamond Reynolds) immediately began live-streaming video of the aftermath from a police officer shooting her boyfriend four times. A four year old girl was in the back seat.
Local Media Report – MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — WCCO confirms that a 32-year-old man has died after an officer-involved shooting Wednesday night in Falcon Heights.
Philando Castile’s mother, Valerie Castile, says he died at Hennepin County Medical Center. St. Anthony Police confirmed the shooting, which happened in the area of Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street. Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, and her daughter were in the car at the time. Reynolds is in custody Wednesday night.
A video circulating on Facebook, which was pulled from the site before midnight, was filmed by Reynolds and appears to show the aftermath of the shooting.
Reynolds, who was in the front passenger seat, says in the video that she was pulled over for a broken tail light. She says police asked Castile, who was driving, for his license and registration.
She says as Castile was reaching for his wallet, he informed officers that he had a firearm in his possession, and a conceal-and-carry permit. Reynolds says in the video that an officer then shot her boyfriend four times. (read more)
According to the video (auto-streamed to Facebook here) and the narration, Philando Castile was driving, Ms Reynolds was the passenger as they were pulled over by the police. Her boyfriend informed the police officer he was licensed to carry a firearm, and when he reached for his wallet to get his ID the officer fired into the vehicle four times.
Here’s the video, but be warned this is very graphic, unsettling, and emotionally disturbing to watch and hear the driver explain what’s going on:
Reynolds: Stay with me. We got pulled over for a busted tail light in the back and he’s covered … they killed my boyfriend. He’s licensed to carry. He was trying to get out his ID and his wallet out his pocket and he let the officer know that he had a firearm and he was reaching for his wallet and the officer just shot him in his arm.
Officer: Ma’am, keep your hands where they are.
Reynolds: I am sir, no worries.
Officer: [Yells expletive.]
Reynolds: He just got his arm shot off. We got pulled over on Larpenteur.
Officer: I told him not to reach for it! I told him to get his head up!
Reynolds: He had, you told him to get his ID sir, his driver’s license. Please don’t tell me he’s dead.
Officer: [Expletive.]
Reynolds: Please don’t tell me my boyfriend just went like that.
Officer: Keep your hands where they are.
Reynolds: Yes I will, sir. I will keep my hands where they are. Please don’t tell me that he’s gone. Please don’t tell me that he’s gone. Please officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him. You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir.
[Silence]
Other Officer: Get the female passenger out of the car.
Reynolds: Where’s my daughter you have my daughter?”
[Five Minutes Later]
Reynolds: I got … the Roseville Police got me handcuffed, my phone is about to die. I’m on Larpenteur and Fry and the Roseville Police Department just shot my boyfriend. They shot him four times. He has a license to carry. We had a busted tail light. And we had some weed in the car that’s about it. (Transcript Via CBS Minnesota)

Why did he have a gun on his lap? Who holds a gun in plain sight while the police are making a stop? This woman is inciting trouble before the facts are known. Why isn’t she consoling her daughter? I know it’s not scripted but she sure knew what to say from the start to point the finger at the officer which feeds into today’s anxiety over the shootings of black men. More facts are coming out about the “victim” that contradict miss Reynolds assertion that “he was just getting his id out”. What is an officer supposed to think when he pulls over someone that fits the description of a burglary suspect and sees a gun on the lap of the driver? Any move the driver makes is suspect.

ANY responsible CPL/CCW holder knows that when you are pulled over, for ANYTHING, you immediately disclose you are a CPL/CCW holder and disclose the location of your firearm if it is on you. You give the police the option to take the firearm completely out of the equation of the stop. Reported in only a few stories, the guy was reaching for his wallet and the firearm became visible.

That depends, really. Some states require you to notify the officer immediately and some do not. In states that do not, the best course of action is as Justsayin stated: Don’t even mention it. If your weapon is concealed and the officer can not see it then he will never even know. Letting him know might cause him to become unnecessarily alarmed.
Whatever you do, DO NOT use the word “gun.” 🙂 Say weapon/firearm. Don’t say, “I have a gun!”
I’m willing to bet he had no permit, but that that was something they devised to throw police off. We will likely see a lot more of it in the future.

While facts may come out to prove otherwise, it appears that this officer does not believe that blacks have a Second Amendment right to carry a firearm. Comply or not, the officer had him at point blank range and should have withheld fire until he saw a weapon appearing. A guy seated with a belt on cannot draw and fire that fast, nor would a real threat give a heads up he has a weapon. This was an over reaction by someone who should not be a cop.
I carry but on the rare occasion i am stopped I have my window down, interior light on if at night, ignition off, ID, registration and insurance in hand, and my hands on the wheel. i do not advertise anything about a weapon, don’t say much, and try to end the encounter as quickly as possible.

I, too am a CPL holder. The one time I’ve been pulled over while I was carrying (pistol was between driver’s seat and center console) I was speeding. I was on my way to work. I put my hands on the steering wheel as the officer (state police) approached. I IMMEDIATELY disclosed that I was a CPL holder and indicated the location of my pistol. I kept my hands on the wheel until I was asked for my ID and papers. I indicated to the patrolman that my license was in my handbag which was located on the passenger seat and my registration and insurance was located in my glove box, and I needed to reach over the firearm to obtain the things he was requesting. I waited to see his reaction and would have given the patrolman the option to take the firearm completely out of the equation if he wanted. He never asked for it, because I was respectful. He clocked me doing 16 over (I was admittedly speeding, running late for work) but given that I don’t have a record, my driving record is relatively clear, and I acted responsibly and respectfully during the stop, he wrote me for only 5 over, THANKED me for my handling of the situation and asked me to drive slower. That patrolman didn’t know if I was truly a woman just late for work, (first shift) or if I was a third shifter just getting out of work and had hit the bar, or drugs, or whatever. Be respectful and they will be respectful of you.

“A guy seated with a belt on cannot draw and fire that fast, nor would a real threat give a heads up he has a weapon.”

Agree with part 2………We only have the girlfriend word that he said (announced) he had a weapon. She made contradictory statements regarding his motions, & the Officer made utterences that he warned him not to reach for whatever….Doesn’t sound convincingly that he informed the Officer that he was armed.
Disagree completely with part 1 “A guy seated with a belt on cannot draw and fire that fast”
What if the weapon were tucked into his crotch area? Easy reach & stealthy move of the left hand which could be out of sight of the officer until the weapon is clear of the suspect’s thighs & now traveling up to a shooting position…..

That’s what it will come to. Shoot outs in the Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, St. Louis, etc corrals. They will be penned up in the very bowels of the cities with Black or dark-skinned cops (and multiracial administrators at arms’ length). Periodically they will open the gates and let out all the little children they can find to rescue them from the deprivation so they can grow up safely and happily ever after away from the morass..

Just poking around various online records looking for info about Lavish. Her mother is Dafina Doty, living in Indianopolis right now though Intelius says she has also lived in the Minneapolis area. There are two criminal records for Dafina in MN, one in 2007 for not having a drivers license, and one in 2008 for receiving stolen property. For that second conviction her name is Dafina Niyonu Palmer. There is also a business record in Indianopolis with her last name as Humphrey. The multiple last names is just so typical, isn’t it? I suspect that Lavish also has some court records somewhere but not under Reynolds. Perhaps Palmer or Humphrey?.

http://www.twincities.com/2008/10/29/man-charged-with-sexual-assault-of-man-he-suspected-of-burglarizing-a-friend/
A man was charged today with physically and sexually assaulting another man in St. Paul that he suspected of burglarizing a friend’s house, according to a criminal complaint.
The Ramsey County attorney’s office charged Taylor Gordon IV, 22, of St. Paul, with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree assault.
The complaint gave this account:
Police were dispatched Oct. 20, 12:48 a.m., to a home in the West Seventh Street neighborhood about a burglary. Dafina Niyonu Palmer told police she had just returned to her home in the 600 block of Canton Street from Chicago and found it burglarized.
There was no forced entry and Palmer told police she suspected a man who had lived with her for a brief time, had a key and knew she was in Chicago.
“Dafina Palmer was very upset and made numerous comments about doing physical harm” to the man, the complaint said. “Palmer was advised to let investigators handle the burglary.”
I do think this is Lavish’s mother.

Wow, that story is very strange. Here’s a different version of it. Apparently it happened in 2008, and I think Lavish might have been involved, I think she might be the 19 year old daughter mentioned in the article. Does anyone know how old Lavish is now? http://www.twincities.com/2008/10/30/st-paul-burglary-suspect-is-assaulted/
Dafina Palmer found her home in the West Seventh Street neighborhood burglarized Oct. 20 and said she suspected the burglar was an 18-year-old man who is her 17-year-old daughter’s best friend. Gordon is the girl’s boyfriend, Palmer said. Gordon beat up the man and sexually assaulted him with an object, the criminal complaint said. Prosecutors also have charged Palmer’s 15-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter, Ariel T. Doty, in juvenile court with aiding and abetting first-degree criminal sexual conduct. The boy’s name isn’t public because of his age. Palmer didn’t dispute the physical assault but said in an interview Thursday the sexual assault didn’t happen. She said only Gordon took part in the beating, and she and her children tried to stop it. “This has all been a tremendous misunderstanding,” said Palmer, 35. […] “Dafina Palmer was very upset and made numerous comments about doing physical harm” to the man, the complaint said. “Palmer was advised to let investigators handle the burglary.” Doty called the victim and Gordon to give her support after the burglary, Palmer said. When the victim arrived, Gordon took off after him, Palmer said. She and her 19-year-old daughter tried to hold Gordon back, but, Palmer said, “He was throwing us around like ragdolls.” At 4:40 a.m., police were dispatched to West Seventh Street and Watson Avenue about a man sitting on a bus bench who appeared to have been assaulted, the complaint said. […] Police arrested Palmer, her 15-year-old son, her 19-year-old daughter, her nephew, Doty and Gordon, according to the complaint and Palmer. Gordon, Doty and the 15-year-old were charged; the others were released.
If I’m right and this is Lavish’s mother, then Lavish must have grown up in one harsh ghetto family.

Pingback: EXPOSED, MICHAEL BROWN ALL OVER AGAIN: Cops Pulled Over Philando Castile Because He Had Just Robbed A Store With Gun; Had No CCW Permit – PATDOLLARD
Okay people here we go again about white vs blacks. I’m not a racist person, but I am tired of people playing the race card. I don’t care if your black, white, yellow, brown, purple, green, olive, red and etc. Stop focusing on the color of the skin, and start focusing on the situation at hand. Like this shooting of Philando Castile this week. Did anyone watch this video that was posted? Does anyone question the following:
~Why doesn’t she seem upset? She seems very calm after watching a cop “shoot her boyfriend’s arm off”!]
~Why isn’t she checking on him or asking him how he is doing? (yes, he’s clearly been shot and isn’t doing great. But wouldn’t you be making sure you can do whatever you can do to make sure he stays alive? Comfort him the best you can? I get we all react differently, but I would have told the officer I’m going to check him and you can shoot me if you want. I’m not going to let my boyfriend die as I sit here watching him bleed out!)
~ She states they were pulled over for a busted tail light, and he’s covered they killed him as he lies there clearly in pain moving back and forth. Goes on to state he license to carry and he was trying to get out his I.D and wallet out of his pocket he let the officer know he was rech(but caught herself-but she could be all nerves trying to talk) has a firearm and was reaching for his wallet, and the officer just shot him in the arm. She goes on calmly how they are waiting for back up, and the officer said to keep her hands where he can see them, and she stated she will respectfully. Then states how he shot his arm off! The officer stated he told him not to reach for it, and she states he told him to get his I.D and driver license, and omg please don’t let my boyfriend go like this (but seems calm and collected as she video tapes her boyfriend bleeding out) please don’t tell me his dead! Umm didn’t you stated they killed him in the beginning of the video?
~She says that the officer put 4 bullets into him, but at the end of video she says the officer shot him for no apparent reason, then said they shot him 3x’s for a busted tail light! Okay so what happen?!?
~clearly the officer told him to don’t move after learning he was carrying and he did anyways, but now the officer shot him in the arm 4 or 5 times!
~she’s asking for a ride home, not to the hospital and the police department shot her boyfriend 4x, he’s lichens to carry, they had a busted tail light and some weed and that’s it! Umm clearly your weed is laced with something, because your wacked out making no damn sense! Your story is all over, and you don’t seem to concerned for your man.
~ She had to point out he was Chinese, but I thought everyone was making a big fit about a white cop profiling a black man. Just saying!
~ How is she handcuffed and still recording? Doesn’t anyone notice it cuts out?
COME ON PEOPLE WATCH THE VIDEO LISTEN CLOSELY! IT SEEMS SO SHADY.
I will say we never know how we will react to a situation, and we all handle stuff differently. But this video has caused more lives to be lost before anyone knows what really happen, and going on the word of this girlfriend who clearly don’t seem to be all there herself. To many of us are quick to react, instead of standing back to see the whole picture!
I’m sorry if you don’t agree with me, and you don’t have too. You are in title to your own opinion, and thoughts too. But I felt like I needed to state what everyone is missing, because to many of you seem to care that he was black, and not what really went down.

I’m not going to let my boyfriend die as I sit here watching him bleed out!” Maybe her and her “boyfriend” weren’t all that close, I don’t know. But if it was someone I really had strong feelings for, then yeah… I’d be saying/doing pretty much exactly what you said.

there is more to the story than she is telling. Why did she start filming after the actor was shot instead of before so that we can see what went on between them officer and the deceased. they never tell the whole story they never dig deep enough to uncover anything that would justify the police taking deadly action day just casually omit things like the officer said don’t reach for your wallet keep your hands on the dash or something to that effect to which the man who was shot disobeyed the order.

Why is it that as soon as something horrendous happens all the people that thrive on BS come out of the wood work. Is the shooting a terrible thing… YES! but until we can walk a mile in the shoes of both of the victims, yes the cop is also a victim, we cannot state what the cause or reprocussions are. Then all the idiots start to politicize it. I mean every shooting has to be the fault of Democrats… even if the politics at the time was Republican it is obviously has to be Democrats fault…. The victim and his girlfriend will undoubtably blame the police even if he had a gun… have her display his CCP and not just say he had it…. and why carry a gun on your lap… isn’t that really dangerous if you get into an accident? Also show the video before the shooting to show how he was only reaching for an iD and not making a commentary to twist the situation in your best interest to set up the inevitable lawsuit to get the city, state or anyone else to pay….. this was a horrible incident but one that could have been avoided if everyone had been above board.
