Well, well, well… What a tangled web of hair-weaves, when the race-hustlers practice to deceive!
Despite the lies spun by #BlackLivesMatter scammers, new analysis (to date, found only here) may turn out to blow the lid off the Philando Castile case.
Officials are keeping such tight screws on information about the incident (the dashcam video, for example) that we are left to try to decipher everything ourselves, while black terrorists launch assassination attacks on police and lay seige to cities across the country.
Castile’s girlfriend and passenger, Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds, has changed her story in multiple ways since the aftermath of her boyfriend getting shot and killed (which she live-streamed to Facebook, narrated in her oddly calculated-sounding outrage) by a police officer during a traffic stop in Minnesota last Wednesday, July 6th.
For one thing, she started out saying repeatedly that Castile had been pulled over for supposedly having a broken taillight. But in subsequent statements, on video, she said multiple times that it was for having a headlight out.
The taillight/headlight discrepancy is no bombshell, of course.
Neither is her dubious claim that Castile was reaching for his license & registration when shot by officer Jerenimo Yenez. I say dubious partly because as anyone who has dug into this case at all knows, it seems Castile never actually drove legally. Based on his miles-long record of violations, showing scores of just about every kind of motor vehicle offense, and under near-constant license suspension/revocation, it’s very doubtful that Castile even had a license at the time in question because the scofflaw usually just drove without one.
So, for a variety of possible reasons, officer Yenez could indeed have been right in fearing that Castile was reaching for the gun instead of a license/registration. Especially since the real reason Yenez stopped Castile to begin with was (as told to police dispatch by Yenez) because Castile closely resembled a suspect wanted for an armed robbery at a nearby store four days prior.
But the unlikelihood of reaching for a license/registration by Castile isn’t the bombshell either.
What’s the bombshell? Check this out: I came to notice something very peculiar in yet another way Lavish Reynolds changed her story, something that didn’t quite sink in or set off any big alarms for me at first.
Hours after the shooting, upon Reynolds’ being released from police questioning to a wildly sympathetic crowd/press gaggle, a woman asked her, “How were you able to figure out that you should put this on Facebook?” Reynolds replied by going into a long tirade saying she wanted to show the world that “these police are not here to protect and serve us, but to assasinate us; they are here to kill us because we are black!!”
In mid-rant, she told the crowd that she didn’t capture the actual shooting on video because “…if I woulda moved while that gun was out, he woulda shot me too!”
That question and answer comes at the 7:07 mark in the video below:

Does that even make sense? If we are to believe her, she started rolling video while Yenez still had his gun out, and had just let several shots fly.
It seems to me that most people who take video when they get pulled over by police start recording at the earliest possible point in the encounter. If Reynolds was afraid of being shot for moving to capture video before Yenez opened fire, wouldn’t she have been just as afraid to start recording once Yenez had opened fire and was still hyper-adrenaline keyed on any threat/target in the vehicle?
Now comes the bombshell. The next day, Reynolds spoke at a press conference and completely changed her explanation of why she didn’t get the shooting itself on video.
Ready? Go to the 5:00 mark in this excerpt:

Did you catch that?
You hear Reynolds say, “…I was not able to get the actual shooting because I did not want that horrible act to be on social media…” That’s a completely different reason than the one given the day before, by the way.
Most importantly, that remark is what I believe poker players and con-men call a “tell.”
In the process of shifting parts of her story and bellowing indignant racial screeds, she’s inadvertently telling us, by letting subconscious code slip out, that she actually did record the shooting itself — but she cut off/hid that part of the video from what she wanted us to see, and began live-streaming what she did want us to see.
Think about what she said: She claimed that she did not want to have video of a “that horrible act” to be on social media. Ask yourself, now, how could she have known that a “horrible act” was about to take place, and thereby base her alleged decision — to supposedly not start recording until afterward — on such knowledge? It doesn’t pass the smell test.
She could not know of an impending “horrible act” — unless she was in on some sort of failed plan by Castile to try to shoot the police first (or, an insane plan to deliberately provoke police deadly force for some reason).
She’s lying about something having to do with the video on her phone.
I say that what she’s really telling us (without intending to) is that not only doesn’t she want people to see the shooting, but also that she had the ability to let people see it, but pretends otherwise. She pretends she made this decision to start recording afterward. Except she’s too illogical to trick everyone.
I suspect she’s trying to cover up the video evidence which would sink her shakedown scam’s chances of succeeding. That is, the part of the video she’s pretending not to have recorded would help prove that Yenez was justified in shooting Castile, because for whatever reason, Castile refused to comply, and reached toward where his gun was when ordered not to reach.
Lavish Reynolds may be remembering the unfortunate incident in the video below, from a couple of years ago, and using it as the template for her shakedown story:

My understanding as of this writing is that the police still have custody of Reynolds’ phone while they conduct their investigation. If I’m right about all this, can she be that much of a gambler as to think investigators wouldn’t discover the segment of video in question while examining the phone’s contents?
Maybe this case will be over more quickly than we expected.
She recorded the whole thing. There is no way that skank whore didn’t start recording the moment she saw the blue lights. Hell, she recorded her belt buckle for 5 minutes.
Hmmm, not my bailiwick but sounds right.
Lavish Diamond is playing for high stakes that I can tell.
I agree.
I agree. Another bizarre thing she did in the second video, the press conference, was she started bellowing “What more proof do you need?!!? What more proof do you need?!!? What more proof do you need?!!?” as she was whipping the crowd into a rabid frenzy baying for Whitney’s blood, as if her video of the aftermath proved anything.
She’s a bad actress and trying to misdirect away from the fact that she’s hiding a lot.
Whitney = whitey
If somehow they got the entire shooting from her phone (cloud?) that would be something.
She’s in over her head either way.
She’s likely playing beat the clock.
“do people without valid drivers licenses still have a state photo id...”
No doubt many do, possibly including Castile. Would persons cited repeatedly for no license, suspended license, no insurance, etc., bother to procure and carry a “Non-Driver” id? Over a large sample the odds would seem to favor “no”, but for one individual it could go either way. Let’s hope whatever agency is investigating this honestly documents everything on Castile and in the car.
Yup.
I agree. I have thought about this a lot. With so many infractions, I would be hard pressed to think he decided to get a state ID. He may have, but it doesn’t seem likely.
Any corrections will be on page 23 of the newspapers and in a ten second soundbite on MSM TV if there is any mention at all.
So irresponsible for the MSM to push a narrative that creates things like Dallas killings, even if it were true. They never put up the statistics that show more police shootings of whites than blacks.
Nor the comparative rates, in context with comparative rates of violent crime, more importantly.
She recorded *the whole thing* and only published video after the shooting.
A tool for whom?
And since you seem to have all this critical inside information how in tarnation do you know when Reynolds started her video? How do you know she videoed the actual shooting too? Why was her cell phone not immediately seized as evidence when she was handcuffed?
If what you say is true, why in hell would law enforcement handcuff and put a suspect who was just involved in a fatal police shooting into the back of a patrol unit with critical evidence still in her possession?
This was allegedly a vehicle carrying an "Armed robbery suspect" right Wulff?
How did the officers know she was not armed as well?
I really want to know these answers so take your time with your response Wulff. Appreciate it, thanks!
Btw, I know you’re butt hurt because you got your bell rung here...
However it’s was the attorney of the officer involved in the shooting who told the media it was the police who have their own audio and VIDEO of this event. If this is in fact true, they’ve had time to review the audio/video 2,000 times. And this is a one shooter investigation which should not be overly complex or difficult. I’d guess they’re dragging their feet here for some reason. I don’t know what the reason would be.
Btw, it was Reynolds attorney who publicly challenged the city/cops to release the video, same as his client did with hers.
Just pure speculation here, but if the officer really thought this was a suspect in an “Armed Robbery” this event should have never happened like it did. And I will tell you why.
Since this was a suspected “Armed Robbery” suspect, this should have been a felony traffic stop, where once the suspect vehicle stops, officers order the vehicle occupants out of the vehicle, one at a time, hands up, walk backwards towards the officers etc, etc. Most have seen the routine on TV many times. This is done for officer safety as well as the vehicle occupants.
Again, I am saying all this based on the existing media reports/video/evidence and comments from the players involved.
And you’re not the first one who attacked me personally simply because I am critically looking at what is being reported and offering my thoughts. I personally think they have some issues here.
Could I be wrong? Yes. We shall see.
