Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse does a more through look see thru Philando’s shady past....there was an armed robbery a few days earlier at a convenience store...and Sundance includes the Security camera shot and the shot from Philandos girl friend and they look like a match to me...his dead fingers are going for his waistband...so I don’t think he was going for his gun permit...known gang member fits the BOLO or armed robbery and he reaches for waistband...hell If i am the cop I shoot rather than wait to see what he whips out...
and the cop intructed him not to bet that id at that point and he reached for the waistband anyways...
Have yet to see a copy of his concealed carry permit.
How long before the auntees and gandmaws start pulling hair over t shirt sales?
If Obama had a son...
I don’t believe he was a gang member. The authorities said he worked at a school in St Paul as a cafeteria supervisor.
To be honest, I thought that I had detected a snarl, a ‘thuggish aura’
around the dead man’s girlfriend. It was either evidence of gang affiliation or a hard life in the lower eschelon.
I also thought it strange that her first impluse when witnessing a killing would be to film and live stream it, with a narration. In effect, advertising it. Seemed strangely at ease as she sat next to her fiance just now shot (mulitple times) through a car window.
Girlfriend (Diamond Reynolds) in the car who recorded video:
She then begins wailing about how Castile is a ‘good man’ who ‘works for St Paul Public Schools... He’s never been in jail, anything. He’s not a gang member, anything.’
‘It was a Chinese police officer that shot him,’ says Reynolds. ‘He asked him for his license and registration, which was in the back of his pocket, because he keeps his wallet in his pocket.
‘And as he went to reach, he let the officer know before he was reaching that he had a firearm on him, and before he can let the officer know anything, the officer took off shots. About four or five rounds was shot.
‘And my boyfriend, I don’t know what condition he’s in, I don’t know if he’s okay or if he’s not okay. I’m in the back seat of a police car, handcuffed... they got machine guns pointed.’
His mother:
Castile’s distraught mother said her son ‘lived by the law and died by the law’ and he worked as a cafeteria supervisor at the J.J Hill Montessorri School in St. Paul.
She tearfully told the Star Tribune outside hospital: ‘They killed my son. They took a good man, a hard-working man; he worked since he was 18 years old.’
She then added: I think he was just black in the wrong place. We are being hunted every day. It’s a silent war against African American people as a whole. We are never free.’
His family said he was a straight-A student at high school who graduated with honors.
Castile’s Facebook page depicts a young man who was politically active and enjoyed partying. HE SHARED IMAGES OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY and posted the caption ‘BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY’.
By the way, here’s how to properly address a policeman when you are CCW with a permit:

If he’s a gang member he probably has a criminal record, which means he was not going for his concealed carry permit.
