The family of Philando Castile has shared a copy of his permit to carry letter with Fox 9. The permit was issued by Hennepin County on June 4, 2015.

Yes. Too bad their hysterical dickhead governor isn't made of the same stuff.
A dead body is evidence. Peace.
Evidence of what? That Yenez defended himself, absent proof otherwise. Prove your accusation, liar.
You are bordering on harassment. Stop.

NO!
You are wrong on all counts.
Yes black men have black hair and both the suspect and the dead man had black hair. While both men had long hair like about 70% of all young black men they did wear it much different and the store hold up suspect had hair about twice the length of the dead man.
While both men may have had a form of T-shirt on the dead man's shirt was not the color of the suspect.
While it is true that both men wore pants the dead man had different color pants on than the suspect’s description.
While they both did indeed have shoes they were described much differently.
Glasses? you mean they both had sun glasses like about 95% of all black men? Get real.
About the only thing they both had in common is that they both had guns and both were black. Simply not enough information to kill a man for.

Bert I was in Manhattan last week with 4 boys under 15
Just me....in a Suburban driving all over the island that was my home in the 80s....yep crazy on both fronts and honestly it was best time in years
It was like I never left
It’s different now...safe...more gentrified and granted a bit more ethnic
But everywhere we went....people we dealt with from hotel doormen to clerks at Bergdorfs to the Manalo store to livery and cab drivers to literally wise guys I’ve known for 30 years in Bensonhurst to just total strangers we ran into
When they heard our thick Deep South accents they all perked up and would ask if we were Trump people
And we’re like damn right we are.....hell yeah and everyone is so excited to take our country back
And besides my dear friend miss marmelstein there are a number of other New Yorkers here I am fond of from the lower east side even all the way uptown
It’s not as bad as the media makes it look
Just saying
Homicide requires an affirmative defence, not an absent one.
The officer told him to not move.
He moved and he died.
Unless we are accepting the word of the drug smoking proven liar, in the passenger seat.
I understand the need to defend a concealed carrier, but that doesn’t take away the burden of listening to the officer.
Waaaahhhh, you make unfounded accusations, then cry haraaasssssment when you get called out.
I said proof of the accusation is absent, genius. The burden of proof is on the accuser. We have Yenez’s utterances on video, as well as the dispatch audio re nature of the stop, and the store robbery video stills matching his pictures. Get a clue.
You really should get a clue. The robbery was 4 days prior. The dreadlocks length was the same, and 4 days is plenty of time for Castile to grow the jawline whisker shade visible at the time he died. The robber was decked out in Ralph Lauren Polo hat & shirt, Castile had a thing for Polo clothes & accessories, he posted pics of Polo clothing collections on his social media. Oh but you’d actually have to do research and have a clue to know that!
You of course have never bothered to look at these juxtaposed pictures of the robber and Castile, showing the EXACT resemblance:
...and your remark about killing a man for matching a robber description is more b.s., he reached toward his gun when ordered not to reach. Smh
New Yorkers are just like any other Americans - some good, some bad. But for the most part they are hard-working, nose-to-the-grindstone types who love America in the same way other Americans do. That they vote in the wrong way generally perhaps should be more pitied than censured!
And, of course, when you’re proven incorrect, you will disappear from the conversation rather than offer a mea culpa.
...and your remark about killing a man for matching a robber description is more b.s., he reached toward his gun when ordered not to reach. Smh

That is your subjective reasoning. He was told to show his license, he reached down and was shot. Ok, maybe the cop thought he was reaching for his gun, we don’t know what the cop thought because he has not made a public statement, certainly though there is no evidence to support that. The man was not a criminal. It is not criminal to be stupid and he did what the cop told him to do instead of saying, “look I have a gun are you sure you want me reaching down toward it to get my papers out of my wallet?”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling this murder but it was a mistake that did to have to happen. The dead guy was only guilty of exercising his constitutional right to carry, oh, and he happened to be black.
I understand the fear of black men wearing dreadlocks and carrying guns but it does not make it a crime. Trayvon Martin was a thug who got what he deserved, gentle giant, hand up mike was a thug who got what he deserved but Castile was not a bad guy.
You should start carrying a weapon and then you will start to understand what happened. Hopefully you will be smarter than Philando Castile was if you are pulled over and asked to produce papers. This one really bothers me, it just didn’t have to happen and I’m afraid the cops will protect the shooter who made the mistake by trying to make Castile look like a bad guy.
You’re spewing nothing but unfounded speculation and falsehood. The fact is we DON’T KNOW exactly what transpired, so for you to restate Reynolds’ allegations as if they’re facts is just more ##BlackLiesMassacre b.s.
Furthermore, not only was Castile indeed a criminal, evidenced by chronic scofflaw/misdemeanor non-compliance and illegal drug use shown on video, we DO NOT know for a fact that he wasn’t one of the robbers in question.
You LEs are all alike. Can’t abide being wrong. One more time - what did Castile do that warranted the death penalty?
How was I proven wrong? He had a permit and no felonies. Seems I was proven right.

I guess we don't know for sure that Castile was not the robber in question but that can be said for millions of other blacks certainly 100’s of thousands in the vicinity.
Saying that someone should be dead because he may have been someone that someone described as a robber and saying that someone is a criminal for traffic violations is only showing your extreme racism. That is a hard thing for me to say, I a white guy from Kentucky, I remember telling black people to sit at the back of the bus in the 50’s so don't confuse me with being some liberal nut job.
Racial discrimination is wrong and worse, it is immoral. I'm not against profiling, I understand that believing a person is more likely a bad guy because he is black and smokes weed but that is not a reason to kill him before you find out. That is what happened here. What you said in effect is that since it was possible that he was the robber then he deserved to die, that attitude belongs to a time long since past and to a South that no longer exists. It is is time to grow up and realize that all people are people.
This was a contributing member of society and was killed down without good reason. Since tax dollars supported the killer then it is on all of us who's money supported the cop to bear the responsibility for it. When we do nothing to stop it it will happen again and again, some day we will have to answer for our inaction. I have chosen to speak out against the wrongs committed on innocent people, I will not hide my head in the sand and watch innocent people be punished for the mistakes of others.
