Graphic video: Philando Castile killed in front of daughter with live aftermath on Facebook
This is not easy to watch, and should be viewed with caution.
In a Facebook video, Lavish Reynolds claims that the couple were pulled over in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for a busted taillight and that her boyfriend, identified by WCCO as Philando Castile, was shot four or five times.
She said that Castile told the officer he was carrying a permitted firearm and had been reaching for his wallet before the officer opened fire.
“Please no, don’t let him be gone. Why?!” Reynolds yells on her video as Castile, 32, slumps back in the driver’s seat of his car, blood running across his shirt.
A St. Anthony police officer can be seen outside the car, his gun drawn on Castile. Reynolds, who like Castile is black, describes him as Asian.
“I told him not to reach for it,” the cop says as he continues to point his weapon into the vehicle. “I told him to get his hand off it.”

Fully agree. I am white actually I glow when I walk past a bug light. One hand the BLM is an attitude group, just as the filthy KKK are pure hate group. Really sad we live in the time people being killed Just because… That is it Just because. Black, white tan, wearing a uniform, walking down the street doing nothing you can be dead.
This guy was sitting in his car and strapped in with his seat belt Just what does the cop think he was going to do. THAN shoot the fellow 3+ times. I know police officers and actually a couple FBI they see these officers quick to pull a weapon with their finger on the trigger.
This officer best have his shoulder cam on to cover his ass. I think he has a real problem and truly deserves it. shot someone strapped in with a seat belt, with a little girl in the back seat.

Not that I am scared to go out but my percentage of staying alive is better if I stay at home! Now watch the cops pick the wrong house and I get shot, death is a funny guy!
