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:

Yes, the county sheriff issues them and they are valid state-wide.
Don’t know about the requirement to live in the county of application. But MN is a shall-issue state so there should be no need to apply in a different county to get a favorable result.
I could live and apply in county X and then move to County Y and be fine until renewal.
What FB page did you see? I saw pics of him with his mom.
I was asking because it appears Castile grew up in Ramsey County, but had lived in Hennepin County at some point. The shooting also occurred in Ramsey County.
(An aside: I lived there long ago, but before the CCW/CHL was enacted. So, I know the cities and counties in the Twin Cities)
Does Obama think all black people look alike?
If he’s a gang member he probably has a criminal record, which means he was not going for his concealed carry permit.
I put the source link for my quotes right at the beginning of my post. Here it is again:
More info on Philando Castile, mainly from social media posted by his girlfriend Diamond/Lavish Reynolds, including video showing her and Philando breaking the law 2 days prior to the shooting:
