Did the dead guy have a CC permit as his “girlfriend” so loudly proclaimed? It should be a no-brainer for the LEO’s to figure that one out.

In the moment, it doesn’t matter. One obeys lawful commands or suffers the consequences.
Rebelbase-—it looks pretty conclusive, according to the story on Breitbart, that he had no CC permit, nor did he ever apply for one.
It would be, but in MN they aren't allowed to release that information.
The victim/suspect's mother has been quoted that both her son and daughter have CCW permits.
I didn’t see it downthread until after I replied to you.
A local TV station has reported that they confirmed the victim had a CCW permit issued in Hennepin County.
He was a convicted criminal and ineligible to own a gun, much less have a CCW.
There is a post form the Ramsey County Sheriffs office that the guy never applied for a CCW and thus could not have one so the claim that he was reaching for his CCW permit to show the officer is a lie.
The video by his girl friend shows he did have a gun out the same right thigh he was supposedly reaching for CCW from which was partially concealed by his shirt.
The gun in question is a very distinctive one with a round receiver that looks like a Stevens 22 pistol. This gun is uncommon and yet the gun the police officer saw Castile reaching for in the car looks like the same gun used in the Circle K robbery by the guy who looks just like Castile
So we have a guy who looks just like an armed robber who had robbed a circle k a few days earlier and who is reaching for the same very distinctive shaped and uncommon pistol that the robber used in the robbery while telling the police officer he is reaching for a non existent CCW permit that he did not nor ever has possessed.
I think the officer was justified and we have been played on this one. The calm, detached and emotionless demeanor of the girlfriend while filming tends to support this.
The facts support Castile reaching for his pistol to shoot the officer to avoid being arrested for armed robbery. Since it seems Castile was carrying the pistol used in the robbery, conviction would have been open and shut case
Since he was stopped at least 31 times over the past 14 years for speeding, driving with a revoked license, no proof of insurance, improper display of original plate, and parking violations, I highly doubt he went to the trouble of getting a permit to conceal carry. And who drives around with a gun on your lap? Someone who's looking for an opportunity to use it.

They already did, and he never applied for or had one. And to all you *sshats that jumped all over this Cop the other night, have fun eating your words, jerks.
