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:

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:
https://youtu.be/5J83Q1JKv-A
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.
Based on her actions since the shooting, I’d say a top reason for withholding the video would be that she wants to sell it. That could be a factor in addition or instead of its being incriminating/exculpatory.
Yep. Meanwhile, she, the media, and the shooter in Dallas are responsible for the murder of five honorable police officers. Had it not been for her little video, it is quite possible that the Micah would not have gone over the edge to end up killing and wounding. There is plenty of blame to go around, if you wish to add in BLM and CIC.
That seriously begs the question:
If she is withholding video and potential other evidence on her cell, why in tarnation was she not searched and her cell phone not seized after being cuffed and put into the back of police unit?
Anyone?
In addition, maybe you could address the additional legitimate questions at #58. Thanks.
I think I saw something earlier today about him having been stopped in excess of fifty times, many for legitimate charges of driving without a license, no registration, no insurance, etc.
They have her phone, as far as I know.

Good. I was wondering about that.
Tell me, when did they seized her cell phone Ching?
I’ve got no answers to the questions you posed in #58. Great questions.
I would like those answers, too. I have no guesses.
My guess is that she is trying to finesse hiding something “inconvenient” while milking the incident for maximum money, fame, sympathy, or whatever — and not doing it very well. That could be due to stupidity, “sedation”, or goals that have evolved as opportunities arose. One thing is clear is that there’ll be no more $$ or SJW love for her if early video establishes that the shooting was justified.
Options:
1) She never made video of the early approach and shooting,
2) She took such video, then deleted it, or,
3) Such video is still on the phone.
Cops normally sit behind cars and run the plates, etc., for a few minutes before approaching a vehicle. This would have afforded Reynolds ample time to get out her phone and be ready to start recording from the start. Her dodgy comments make me think that she did, and then deleted inconvenient material. Hope the police recover and release it soon.
Obviously the FBI neds to get involved so the phone forensics are accurate and charges are recommended if appropriate!!
Oh wait.....
Truth doesn't matter. Only the message. Their noble ends justify their ignoble means.
Why thank you. They go completely ignored most of the time, but I understand why!☺
bump
When do whites get their apology?
What's the penalty for obstruction of justice? What's the penalty for inciting riot?
Show me what she did that actually violates a constitutionally acceptable law, and I'll show you what the State should do to her.
She does not need to sell her story, did you see how much these people are getting on Go Fund Me.
I think the Minn. police have made an error by not getting
all the story out as soon as possible. If the shooting was not just a racist shoot first incident, and there is info that can move the story in the direction of a justified use of force, then they are way behind the curve.
the racially motivated shoooting story narrative is already out there, pushed by the media, the politicians including OB
ama and it will be hard to change that perception after a long investigation.
I don’t think so. The officer apparently told dispatch he matched the description of an “Armed robbery suspect” prior to the traffic stop. Not initiating a felony traffic stop when pulling over an “Armed robbery suspect” would be suicide for a cop.
While posted elsewhere, the good folks at MJT Firearms Training Facebook page offers these two videos posted June 27 as to why you don’t ever talk to the police.

On one of the many, many articles I”ve read about this, the cop says that the investigation will be over very soon and he will be totally vindicated, or words to that effect. I wish I saved where I read that. Sometime in the last 2 days I think.
