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.
Considering how the IRS prosecutes Conservatives and conservative organizations,
the liklehood of them being audited are slim and none !
I hadn’t heard about the color of the car and license plate matching the robbery. I don’t doubt it, but would appreciate a link of where to see this.
I don’t know about all that. My personal belief is that she’s a lyin’ ass b!tch until she gives up some valid unedited proof. Otherwise she’s a skank a$$ ho trying to make some dollahs.
1. Newports are smoked by almost everyone in the black ghettoes.
2. License plate matched NOT robbery vehicle — to my knowledge there’s been no info on that — but plate DID match plate in audio of Yenez calling in traffic stop to dispatch.
He’s wrong, he’s confusing the dispatch audio plate #, which matches the car itself. There’s been no report on any robbery plate #. He’s not the first person I’ve encountered doing it. People are careless.
I would like that too, as it would lock down "probable cause" for stopping the vehicle by the police officer !
Yep.
Also telling that the family is not clamoring for the release of the dash cam. Most likely it’s exculpatory.
What if she recorded it all and they planned on posting to FB or whatever after THEY shot a cop?
Good catch! I’m noticing something more and more from these #BLM people. When they chant “no justice, no peace” they really mean “no money for me, no peace”. They actually expect to get alot of money from all this and complain when they didn’t get as much from the city as the other guy did.
#1 Agreed, quite common.
#2 Unknown, as I haven't yet heard the dispatchers tape.

As a matter of fact, I was unaware that he called the plate in, only that he was "gunna check id's".
I know a young black guy who has a license to carry. He has been pulled over by cops for speeding.
He holds his hands up, tells them he has a gun in the glove compartment and a license to carry, and they are welcome to get it out of the glove compartment if they wish or whatever they feel most comfortable with doing.
Cops have a right to be nervous. They are being targeted. Anyone with a gun needs to be careful how they act when approached by a cop these days.
besides that ag lynch will say she was just careless never had money before didnt know you had to pay taxes wonder if she is getting welfare/foodstamps would the money end that/
Oh and let me just add that the black kid is well spoken, respectful, doesn’t talk jive ,and doesn’t look like a hoodlum....but he still believes he should be cautious. I agree with that assessment given the BLM crowd and their agitations.
Her calm demeanor speaks volumes about this woman. She hit the lottery with her video. She wanted attention and got it.
Has OBama once called to keep calm and let the investigation conclude???
Well yes, there’s that, but we can still hope. It would be entertaining.
They are never held accountable for lying!
Lots of pure speculation here.
Perhaps you or someone else can answer these questions?
_____________________________________________________
Reynolds was an occupant of a vehicle that was just involved in a traffic stop and fatal shooting of an “Armed robbery suspect”. She was handcuffed and put into a police car, but was able to continue broadcasting live stream from her cell phone.
Was she not searched first? Did they allow her to keep her cell phone which clearly had video evidence as well as potential other evidence on it?
How did the officer know both subjects were not armed? How did the officer know they had not just committed a major crime/armed robbery minutes prior to the traffic stop?
Those who might not know, if you’re in a vehicle with a suspected “Armed robbery suspect” and you are stopped by police, you too will be treated as a potential armed suspect. Or they certainty should be for officers own safety. This is how cops are trained. This is really a no brainer.
So why no search?
Why did they allow a potential obvious suspect to keep possession of her cell phone, (evidence) and continue broadcasting from the back seat of the police unit?
In addition, if the officer really believed this was a vehicle with an “Armed robbery suspect”, why did they not initiate a felony traffic stop to ensure the officers safety as well as the safety of the occupants of the vehicle?
Why in such a dangerous situation would the officer simply stroll up to the suspect vehicle window and ask for ID and registration?
Anyone?
I wish that was true, that police body cams would eliminate all discrepancies by the “oppressed”. Won’t matter, if a feral says something, the rest of the feral population goes bezerk, and by the time reason steps in...it’s too late.
It does seem a bit odd, and the reasons for being skeptical, warranted. Although, I am not sure I’ve come to the same conclusion as there is not much to go on.
