The Curious Case of Philando Castile – Falcon Heights, MN Police Shooting (More Info)
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 8, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 07/08/2016 4:53:45 AM PDT by bobsunshine

...During the uploaded video narration Ms. Reynolds stated the police officer pulled them over for a broken tail light.

There are several aspects of the narrative as told that didn’t pass the sniff test, however, something about the “tail light” just didn’t seem to make sense. Especially when you consider it was daylight when they were pulled over; and where –in the aftermath media video– it can be noted the tail lights were operable.

Upon further evaluation of the entire set of circumstances, something is missing.

Was there another reason why the police officer would pull them over?

The shooting took place, late afternoon/early evening Wednesday July 6th. [ Remember that, and stay with me ].

The people at GotNews chased down the social media profiles of Diamond and Philando, and unfortunately a familiar set of social behaviors surfaces.

Yes, Philando Castile was a gang member (crips), frequently picturing himself with firearms, cash, drugs and gang signs; and Ms. Diamond also has a colorfully broadcasted social presence.

The robbery and the shooting are two different things at this point.

You couldn't be more wrong about that. There is clearly a resemblance and the cop reported he was stopping a potential robbery suspect. That has a huge bearing on the cop's state of mind at the time.

(The Sheriff of the county for that area has already said no application under Castiles name was ever submitted and no application was ever approved.)

You are correct. I don’t have proof he had a legal open carry. Can you send me the link to the sheriff stating this? I’ve not heard it and couldn’t find anything online. All I see online is fiends and family members stating he had a legal carry. Watching the local news (Minneapolis) this morning, there is no word stating he did not have the license.
This whole thing will be very interesting in how it plays out. People on one side stating he is a gang-banger with a felony rap sheet and people on the other stating he was a saint....

Philando Castile pulled a gun on a homeless man, it is illegal to have a gun as a convicted child molester and felon...resisted arrest, tried to pull weapon...the Police didn’t initially pull their weapons until he did.

ANOTHER FBI FAILURE

I feel like I am repeating myself but I will ask again. Can you send me the link where the police pulled him over as a potential robbery suspect? Everything I find only states the routine traffic stop for a broken tail light.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you aren’t right. I’ve just not been able to find anything other than stuff on conspiracy websites. But they state all sorts of goofy stuff!

I think you have Philando Castile confused with Alton Sterling (the guy in Louisiana). Philando didn’t have a criminal rap sheet.

The guy in Louisiana is a totally different deal. He had a rap sheet a mile long.

We may never know if the officer "jumped the gun" or not just as we may never know if he was the "perp" in the robbery.

What we do know is that among certain communities resisting arrest, confronting police and lying shamelessly is increasingly accepted, even honored, behavior.

Thank you. That is honestly the first I heard of this and I couldn’t find that info anywhere. Appreciate the follow up!

Sure thing. It is obviously not being widely reported since it does not support the desired narrative. I don’t think Philando was the robbery perp because Philando had significant facial hair on the side that the perp did not; however, there certainly was a significant resemblance.

That, I agree with. It seem stop be overwhelming how much this is applauded at this point.
I don’t know how the Mn case will turn out. It is early but as of right now, it doesn’t look very good for the police officer.

The Louisiana deal is completely different. When a cop is called due to a man with a gun and the guy has a violent arrest record... And he is resisting arrest.... I could go on. It’s not going to bode well though.
I don’t know when it became okay to do whatever you want, whenever you want but that seems to be the case now. I will say, if a cop pulls me over, I have and will comply with everything they ask.

I noticed the same. I could certainly see why the cop would initially pull him over.

After Ferguson & Trayvon & all the others I am continually amazed at how many people buy into the first narrative.

Indeed

Outstanding work by Sundance again. We’ll find out that the cop was given the BOLO for suspects in the armed robbery, and made the traffic stop knowing Castile might be one of them. Then Castile reaches when told NOT to reach.

Shame on all Creepers who are swallowing the hustle of the druggie hustler lying Lavish/Diamond Reynolds.

Wrong. Get a clue. Why does it have to be explained to you?

Welcome to the discussion. Is every post you make going to be over the top nasty? Just curious since the past two were.

Also, if you read on from there, the Freeper I asked the question to, sent me the video containing the police scanner. Nowhere was it posted on this site. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t find it online anywhere. He was helpful and replied.

Try a bit of patience.
