The original narrative presented by Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds, in the aftermath of the Falcon Heights shooting, is in complete collapse.  Reluctantly, even Mediaite and MSM are now having to concede officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser initially pulled over Philando Castile because he fit the exact description of an armed robbery suspect.
The leak of the radio transmissions surrounding the stop is irrefutable evidence the MSM are forced to accept.  The best efforts of agenda-driven Snopes to obfuscate and refute the claim have embarrassingly failed.  The truth continues to have no agenda.
Additionally, some higher resolution images from initial media on scene (hat tip Annette Kelly) are supporting the outline provided by officer Yanez attorney that Yanez was reacting to Philando Castile displaying a handgun toward Yanez:


High Resolution Pictures from Tony Webster – Castile’s handgun is clearly evidence by marker #6 in the above photograph (click to explore).
In addition there is visible blood on the “exterior” of the door, just below the driver’s window, as denoted by marker #9.

We will locate video, and transcript, as soon as possible. [Update Video Added] However, during an incredulous speech delivered at the memorial service for fallen Dallas police officers, President Obama just gave one of the most tonally disconnected speeches we’ve ever witnessed.
If we did not know better we’d almost believe that President Obama forgot where he was.  While staring at the families of the murdered police officers (seated in the front row) President Obama actually said:

…”And I understand these protests, I see em’, they can be messy” …. followed seconds later by … “police can get hurt”…

In a very casual, unsympathetic and almost incredulous *meh-stylistic* presentation. Unreal. Here’s video (prompted to 32:20 for context): (more…)

Good for them. Four police officers walked out of basketball arena (Target Center), and away from extra-duty security assignment, after Minnesota WNBA players show up in activist warm-up gear and spout anti-police Black Lives Matter commentary.
Minneapolis Minnesota – Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers working the Minnesota Lynx game at Target Center on Saturday night walked off the job after the players held a news conference denouncing racial profiling, then wore Black Lives Matter pregame warm-up jerseys.
[…] The three-time WNBA champions wore black T-shirts that read “Change starts with us, justice and accountability” and on the back had Philando Castile’s and Alton Sterling’s names along with “Black Lives Matter” and a Dallas Police Department emblem. (read more)

 

The trial of Officer Brian Rice began last Thursday with the prosecution removing one charge of misconduct in office; today Judge Barry Williams removed the 2nd Degree Assault charge stating the prosecution simply had not shown enough evidence to retain it.
Involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and a lesser misconduct charge remains.
The prosecution rested it’s case and the defense began today on Day #3.
(Baltimore Maryland) The judge dropped one of four charges Monday against Baltimore police Lt. Brian Rice in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, ruling prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to prove second-degree assault after three days of witness testimony. (more…)

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  The professional political class support themselves beyond all other ideological factors. These are modern realities.

President Obama is in a very tenuous position this week as a nation has been stunned by the targeting of police officers.  Indeed, there is a solid argument to be made that President Obama created the antagonism toward law enforcement with various speeches and cursory accusations of unequal treatment.
As a modern social justice president who embraces radical extremist groups like Black Lives Matter, and as an executive community activist who has used the cabinet offices of his administration to leverage social change, President Obama has embraced many divisive entities and expressed ideological alignment with their cause.
The gunman in Dallas who targeted white police officers, specifically because of the color of their skin, is just one visible consequence from a President who rails against a system of law and order.  Obama’s ideology is more comfortable amid the chaos.  (more…)

Initial report at least one police officer killed. Building on lock down.
BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. – Multiple shots were fired at the Berrien County Courthouse Monday afternoon.  The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m.

A Berrien County Commissioner told Vahid Sadrzadeh on scene that a man who was on his way to jail took a gun off a deputy and started opening fire.
The commissioner also told ABC57 three people are dead.  A three block perimeter has been set around the courthouse. Avoid the area if possible. (read more)

Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds Makes The Rounds on the Customary New York Media Circuit.

Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds is the woman who live-streamed the aftermath of the Philando Castile shooting in Falcon Heights Minnesota.   Today Reynolds appeared with her lawyer Larry Rogers Jr (from Chicago) on ABC, Good Morning America, and the transparency of falsehood was on full display.
The key point to reference is at 01:40 when George Stephanopolous asks Diamond to describe what took place prior to the video.  Note how her representative immediately jumps in to block her from answering:

Ms. Reynolds claims that Philando Castile never displayed his weapon.  Ms. Reynolds has earlier stated Castile was “reaching for his wallet, which was in his back pocket.
Unfortunately for Ms. Reynolds claim there is a part of her own video where it’s possible to see the gun in the lap of Castile. (more…)

Unbelievable, President Obama needs to get his Black Lives Matter crew under control quickly… Things are rapidly spiraling out of control.
LAKESHIRE • A former Affton High School football standout forced his way into a South County home and was shot and killed by an off-duty officer inside after a Facebook dispute over Black Lives Matter apparently boiled over late Saturday afternoon.
That’s what can be pieced together from the accounts of police and an uncle of Tyler Gebhard, who said the young man had been struggling with mental health issues.
“He walked over there and into a gunfight,” Gebhard’s uncle, Patrick Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. “When he got there, he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.”  (more…)

We’ve been to this rodeo so frequently there’s a transparent pattern.
Notice anything missing?
♦ There does not appear to be a public call by the family of Philando Castile for the release of the radio dispatch from St. Anthony’s Police department.  Why do you think that is?
♦ There does not appear to be a public call by the family of Philando Castile for the immediate release of the Dash-Cam video.  Nor is the media driving that transparency narrative as they customarily do in high profile events.
Why do you think that is?
Regarding #1 point above.  The only release of the radio communication came from an anonymous leak to a local TV station.   The leak provided the essential framework to understand why Officer Yeronimo Yanez stopped the vehicle driven by Philando Castile.
