This confrontation has been a long time coming, and a longer time deserved.

Sheriff David Clarke appears on set with Don Lemon who cuts off the feed and sends the show to commercial because he doesn’t like the pushback.

When they come back from commercial, Clarke doesn’t let up.  Notice how Don Lemon demands a civil conversation then doesn’t let Clarke finish a sentence. Watch Video

Closing arguments concluded today in the bench trial of Lieutenant Brian Rice.  Prosecutors called 12 witnesses over four days, and Rice’s defense team called four witnesses.  Judge Barry Williams has stated he will issue his verdict Monday at 10:00am.
After the prosecution finished laying out their case Judge Williams threw out the 2nd degree assault charge stating the state had failed to provide enough evidence to support the charge.
The remaining charges against Lt. Rice were: involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office.  Rice is the highest ranking officer of the six charged in the case.

Against the backdrop of the Minnesota police chief stating today that Ms. Reynolds claims do not match reality…. and having looked at the video hundreds of times, I’m in agreement with Treeper Nettles who first identified the tri-fold wallet of Philando Castile in the left front pocket of his sweat pants.

When you correct the orientation of the video image (to eliminate mirrored orientation) and then point out the visible location of the hand gun you get this: (more…)

Finally today the police chief in Roseville, Minesota stated the recent reports pushed by Ms. Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds do not match the reality of what took place the night of Wednesday July 6th.
During a CNN interview (watch video here) Chief Rick Mathwig says Ms. Reynolds reports don’t line up with reality.  The governor of Minnesota also used false statements given by Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds to make his comments.
Mathwig is the police chief in Roseville, Minnesota. His officers weren’t the ones who pulled over Castile or fired the fatal gunshots. But they responded to the scene in Falcon Heights after the shooting. And in an interview with CNN, Mathwig made several points:
