Full Title:
Woman Facebook live-streams her dying boyfriend seconds after he is shot four times by a cop as his mother says police kept her from her son's deathbed and claims the girlfriend is now missing ===============================================
The devastated mother of a black man who was shot dead by a cop and whose death was live-streamed on Facebook by his girlfriend says she was prevented from seeing him on his deathbed.
Valerie Castile, mother of Philando Castile, 32, who was shot in Falcon Heights, Saint Paul, Minnesota on Wednesday night, also claimed they have been unable to locate Diamond Reynolds, his girlfriend, since she was arrested by police.
The shocking footage of the aftermath of the shooting has sparked protests in Saint Paul, with hundreds of people descending on the Governor of Minnesota's house demanding justice. It is the second controversial police shooting of a black man to emerge in 24 hours.
In the video, Reynolds tells viewers that she and Castile were pulled over for a busted tail light by a 'Chinese police officer'.
She claims the cop, from the St. Anthony Police Department in Falcon Heights, asked Castile, a cafeteria supervisor at a Montessori school in St Paul, to show his license, but then shot him four times while he reached for it.
As she talks, she moves the camera across to show Castile, bloody and losing consciousness, and the cop - still pointing his gun, as her young daughter sits in the back seat.
The police officer, who is yet to be identified, been placed on paid leave.

Weird.................
“What was shown on video was the woman SAYING that is what happened”
Given that she was correcting a cop who just mortally wounded her boyfriend I seriously doubt that she was trying to start an argument.
“wrong websihte for you here my friend i think no?”
Rarestia has been here since 2004. I’ve been here since 2009 and you’ve been here since 2013.
Maybe you haven’t figured it out yet but the folks who have been around for 10+ years are on the right website. Maybe you are too but I wouldn’t take it for granted.

I think the biggest mistake this guy made was to have any dealings with a police officer whatsoever.
Can you explain, Laz?
“Who do you believe?”
I belive that prople should not be executed for having a broken taillight.
This one??Yup
plus afraid he was going to shoot her next!!
Which guy?
The guy inside the “Chinese police officers” uniform or the guy inside the car??
Live? Sick
This guy followed those lessons and was still shot dead.
Seriously? You sitting next to the guy are going to reach over him and start putting a tourniquet on while the nervous cop who has just shot the man is pointing a locked and cocked handgun at him?
What, do you think 4 more bullets fired into you and the guy already shot will help ?
Police State Murder Ping.
we’re not omniscient. things don’t look good, but we ought to want to hear/see/understand more before making a final decision.
If we’re wise.
“Apparently, the guy was a Crip with a huge rap sheet, which may preclude the CCW.”
He was a Crip?
What is your source for that?

It was discussed at CTH as well.
Of course, the other tell is how quickly all of these social media accounts get scrubbed.
Great news article you have linked from Got News.
However, I do not put much trust into a news source that begs for money in the middle of the article.
From the Got News article:
“Yet again GotNews.com is here to tell you the truth. You should really donate to us because we are staying up all night on this one and because Im paying for the shitty wifi on the United Flight Im on.”
True enough.
I don’t think we know that yet.
The video starts AFTER the shooting.
Need vehicle cam and/or body cam.
