“They Treated Me Like a Prisoner. They Treated Me Like I Did This.” (Reynolds contradicts herself)

“My boyfriend carries all his information in a thick wallet in his right side back pocket,” Reynolds said. “As he’s reaching for his back pocket wallet he lets the officer know, ‘Officer, I have a firearm on me.’ I begin to yell, ‘But he’s licensed to carry.’ ” According to Reynolds, the officer started firing shortly after.

FFS, how hard is it to just keep your damn hands on the wheel and move only when the cops asks you to? It's almost like these dumbasses want to get shot. Reaching for stuff, "ooh, I'm gonna explain everything and bamboozle him with my street genius understanding of the law!"

Like idiot children who can't sit still.

If you are not driving your vehicle they can’t tell that from the plate. You could be driving a friend’s car, a rental or just another family member’s car.

I know of only two sites that has laid claim to that definitely being a gun. They also indicated that he had felonies. If that were true then he would not have possessed a CCP, because he couldn't have legally owned a gun. But I have also read that he had no felony convictions.

The policeman's lawyer said he had a gun, and during a news briefing officials confirmed that a handgun had been recovered from Castile’s body. But they do not say where, or at least I haven't heard, where on the body it was recovered from. That may indeed be a gun on his lap, however, supposedly he was retrieving his wallet as well. A majority of the object in his lap is covered by a piece of paper, and the picture is of poor quality and blurry.

All I can say is that you both must have extremely excellent eye sight to state positively that it is a gun, and not a wallet. I myself cannot state what it is, and to me it could be either either item, gun or wallet, or even another item.

An ex-felon I know sticks both hands out the window past his elbows whenever he is stopped, and waits till he is told what to do. Perhaps he knows more than the average driver?

That's what I do. When the cop walks up, my left hand is out the window holding the papers, and right hand is also outside the window, so the cop sees both hands as he's coming up.

More importantly, ask yourself why she’s on her third or fourth story.

I think Weedy is high all day, every day and Weed is just one tool in her toolbox.

This subject will officially be off- limits with everyone in the Media.

Trayvon Martin was trying to buy an illegal gun, and the Media joined hands and refused to report it, and to this day lie about that case to hold him up as something he never was.

I think you should look at the now available facts and the stills of her video, it is not what it seemed when the msm jumped on it. Check out Conservative Treehouse, among others. In her video, you can see something that looks like a gun hidden in his lap. The officer pulled him over because of a BOLO armed robbery, andthey fit the description.

she just said he had never been fingerprinted...minnesoto apparently does not require fingerprints

The rear sight on the pistol is clearly visible. Not too many wallets come equipped with those.

Or, the police officer told her to keep her hands where he could see them. You can hear him say that on her video.

If she leaned over to her boyfriend, the officer would think think she might be going for the firearm.

And her little girl, who was there, would likely watch her mother die.

[Robert DeLong]

Again, very blurry. It may be a sight, or it may be a tab or something sticking out of the wallet. It is an important issue, and I am not downplaying it's importance. I wish someone had confirmed that it is in fact the gun we are seeing in that picture. I just hate the reporting that we get anymore. No one seems to ask the $54,000 questions anymore. Which leaves people to speculate, and that has dire consequences. I can definitely see where it looks like a gun and gun sight, but we all know pictures can be deceiving as well. That what we think we are seeing is not what is really there, and that is with pictures that are much clearer than this one is. Anyway, I though I would throw out the wallet speculation.

Let me also say that in no way do I believe his "girlfriend's" narrative. More to the story than what we have been told so far, by the media, authorities, or his family.

I’m just someone who doesn’t have their head up their ads and who doesn’t think cops are all saints and doesn’t think all blacks are criminals.

Around the Hennepin County Courthouse, the suspicion is that a trigger-happy Mexican cop screwed up with a somewhat careless black guy.

And there’s no doubt that the deceased had a Hennepin County carry permit. The people who actually keep the records acknowledge it privately, and even county and state bigwigs confirm it off the record to the media. State law prevents revealing the actual list officially.

“while her “boyfriend” was bleeding to death she continued to take video and give commentary. “

And clearly says “he KILLED my boyfriend” whilst the boyfriend is still groaning! Creepy! Like somebody acting, and waiting for the payoff.

His rap sheet includes armed robbery, theft, assault and more.

[Godebert]

You are confusing Castile with that other thug from Baton Rouge.

[FamiliarFace]

Thanks, I hadn’t seen those charges. Was he convicted of those as well as the traffic violations?

[Godebert]

"Wonder why the cops haven’t provided the dash can? Probably not done editing it."

"I’m just someone who doesn’t have their head up their ads and who doesn’t think cops are all saints and doesn’t think all blacks are criminals."

I think most here would agree that your head IS up your ads.

[uncbob]

He never said it was because of a broken tail light. I think that was from her.

That is what the cop probably told them while he started to look them over

He is not going to say I am checking you out to see if you are suspects in a robbery

[piytar]

Thanks. Will do.

I’ve read Freerepublic for years but I just signed up for an account just so I could ask...Why didn’t she use the phone, that the police officer was not stopping her from using, to dial 911 for an ambulance?
