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:
https://youtu.be/ArV8jrKNM6k
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:
https://youtu.be/GSmDFPz4Bx4
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’ll sell her story for $$$ cause race riots and then go on off to the Bahama’s or somewhere.
for later
I felt from the very beginning that this was like the Rodney King video.
We were not shown the 20 minutes prior to the cops beating King when he was hopped up on PCP and refusing to obey the cops.
Also, the girlfriend’s complete lack of motion was a dead giveaway that something was up.
The media ran with the incomplete narrative, and as a result five cops are dead and many injured across America.
The Left, the media , the Obama Administration continue to skew the narrative to foment unrest and violence.\
It has to stop.
She should be charged as an accessory to murder for the police that were and still are being killed.
The last I knew , based on her statements , there was $250,000 in a "Go fundme account".
If she lied , she should be held accountable.
She should not benefit financially from her criminal behavior.
Let her sell her story, .. then fine her the exact amount for police an civilian expenses arising from her statements.
They have her phone, as far as I know.
Go fund her for what? A new weave and a nail job? Some extensions? A trip to Barbados? A buttlift?
“…if I woulda moved while that gun was out, he woulda shot me too!”
What gun is she referring to, the cop clearly has his gun out and pointed in the car during the video.
Perhaps she is referring to the blued gun resting on the perp’s left thigh, visible toward the beginning of the video. (video is mirror image)
He was fixing to shoot the cop, but was a touch slow on the draw.
What, so “Jeronimo Yanez” isn’t really a “Chinese”?
Stage managed
Can't wait for the Obama speech about driving sober and legally especially with the baby in back.
Has mothers against buzzed driving chimed in on this yet.
All I know is Hillary says it's white people's vote, so blacks please vote for my white @ss!!!
If the policeman was just out to kill blacks, why did he not shoot her also???
Hopefully this woman will submit to a polygraph test to assist with the investigation.
“The last I knew , based on her statements , there was $250,000 in a “Go fundme account”.”
I just can’t wait until the IRS goes after them. They surely will be too stupid to pay income taxes on it.
Whether Castile possessed a drivers license to reach for is a key question, and a great observation on your part. Reynolds certainly wants to say he WAS reaching for something. If no license, now what would that be...
I would tend to attribute Reynold’s changing story to a low IQ. She thinks she can make things up as she goes along; she’s no Hillary Clinton in the prevarication derby.
If the DOJ has gotten involved, they will try to suppress any exculpatory information for the police officer and continue fanning the flames causing the demonstrations and riots.
Hey , did you see the photo of her talking with the press, making statements , and had a pack of Newports in her hand?
Newport cigarettes were stolen in the latest robbery that Philando Castile may have been involved in.
Maybe someone should check the State tax stamp of the ciggys to see if they match those stolen in the latest robbery.
Did the plate number coincide with the robbery perp - yes ! Was the car the same color as the robbery perp - yes!
If it looks like it
Smells like it
and draws flies
you have reason to believe it is S*it !
Thanks, Chewie. Along with her low IQ, she seems to stay stoned and drunk, but besides all that why make up such details? If you’re saying she’s doing it not because she’s dumb but because she’s hiding something, I’m with you.
Question, do people without valid drivers licenses still have a state photo ID to carry on their person? I’m not saying this is the deal, but I wonder if Minnesota has those like Ohio did when I lived there? They said NON-DRIVER on them.
Beware of what you ask for. Right now cops have some leeway for personal judgement and mercy.
Once everything is recorded they will have to be no tolerance like the schools and we’ll have people getting arrested for having pop tarts chewed into the shape of a gun, etc.
