“Riding Dirty” The Curious Case of Philando Castile – Falcon Heights, MN Police Shooting…
Posted on July 8, 2016 by sundance
By now everyone is aware of the officer involved shooting of Philando Castile that became a viral BLM activist case as a direct result of his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds (aka Lavish Reynolds) live-streaming the aftermath from their vehicle. – BACK STORY HERE –
NOTE: It is critical to remember -as you review the images and the video- optically the live stream was captured as a mirror image. Some video uploads mirror the image, it can be confusing, you have to reset your reference points. Philando Castile was driving, Diamond Reynolds was the passenger.
During the uploaded video narration Ms. Reynolds stated the police officer pulled them over for a broken tail light.
There are several aspects of the narrative as told that didn’t pass the sniff test, however, something about the “tail light” just didn’t seem to make sense. Especially when you consider it was daylight when they were pulled over; and where –in the aftermath media video– it can be noted the tail lights were operable.

I find this interesting (from the article you posted ):
Yes, Philando Castile was a gang member (crips), frequently picturing himself with firearms, cash, drugs and gang signs; and Ms. Diamond also has a colorfully broadcasted social presence. – SEE HERE – (<– lots of images) http://gotnews.com/breaking-philandocastile-falconheightsshooting-crips-gangmember/ (http://gotnews.com/breaking-philandocastile-falconheightsshooting-crips-gangmember/)

If no one posted the picture, this looks to be Yanez on the left side:

In America, an Hispanic CAN be "white" or not. A pure Spaniard would identify as "white" for racial purposes.
Most Latin American Hispanics are mixed, or "mestizo" meaning a fraction Native American, and a fraction Spanish (or other European).
For DNA purposes some Spanish are very close to some English. I believe it is the Celtic component of their racial ancestry.

Who would be the final authority on that? Elizabeth Warren?

As far as BLM is concerned, he's "blue" and that's all that matters.

While Castile appears to have been no angel, I would wait for a lot stronger proof than he appears to look like some person in a recent robbery. But I do look for the lib media to keep any less than perfect aspects of his life out of the news.
However, even if he was a gang member, that doesn't necessarily justify his being shot. (And rest assured, I despise gang members.) Again, I want to wait until all the facts play out before making a judgement.

The conservativetreehouse is a sewer. Let's wait for another source before we swallow this swill.

Good observation because some stories are making him out to be a good guy, even the NRA is commenting (2nd story below)

So, as of now, I certainly do not know what to believe.

...gotnews.com...
...is that last place to go if you want facts.
Not a fact, but a prediction: It will be found out that the deceased was not a Crip. Further, gotnews.com will move on to other lies....

Good advice.

Me either. I've read he had a CCW...that the Sheriff confirmed he did NOT have a CCW...and that it is illegal for anyone to comment on his CCW status...
