Protesters marched from the scene of the shooting at Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street to the governor’s mansion in St. Paul. Many protestors have said they will not go home until Gov. Mark Dayton comes out to give a statement.
Officers with the St. Paul Police Department are on the scene, but are limited to traffic control around the area.
Officer-involved shooting
St. Anthony police confirmed one of their officers shot and killed 32-year-old Philando Castile inside his car during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights near the state fairgrounds around 9:00 p.m. Wednesday night.
Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds and her daughter were also inside the car, but were not injured in the shooting. Reynold’s live streamed a video of the aftermath of the shooting on Facebook, saying Castile informed the officer he had a pistol and a license to carry while he was reaching for his ID.
The officer involved has been place on standard administrative leave. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the incident.

Daily Record reports:
The disturbing footage from Indianapolis woman Lavish Reynolds shows her in a car, with her boyfriend heavily bleeding and in agony.
A frenzied police officer, from the local force in Falcon Heights, Minneapolis – where the footage was taken on Wednesday – can be seen pointing his gun at Philando Castile, who is nursing a heavy wound in his arm.
The social media footage also captures a conversation between the woman and a police officer, in which she remains totally calm.
However the officer is only heard shouting in a panicked voice.
While the exchange takes place, she insists that Castile was licensed to carry a weapon.
She says her boyfriend was shot after they were pulled over.
The officer fired his weapon when he reached for his ID and wallet which the officer had requested.
She says: “And the officer just shot him in his arm.”
Shouting, a police officer said “Ma’am, keep your hands where they are,” before then adding: “F***!”
Reynolds tells her mobile phone camera “He just shot his arm off” but the officer then screams: “I told him not to reach for it! I told him to get his hand open.”
Speaking calmly, the woman responds: “You told him to get his ID, sir, you told him to get his driver’s license.”
At that point, her boyfriend stops moving.
She says: “Oh god, don’t tell me he’s dead. Please don’t tell me my boyfriend just went like that… please don’t tell me that he’s gone.
“Please don’t tell me this Lord, please Jesus don’t tell me that he’s gone.
“Please officer don’t tell me that you just did this to him. You shot four bullets into him, sir.
“He was just getting his licence and registration, sir.”
Officers then demand she steps out the car, and a child can be heard crying.
An officer says: “Ma’am you’re just being detained right now until we just get this all sorted out, okay?”
After that, all that can be seen is clear blue sky in the video.
She later claims: “They threw my phone, Facebook.”
Officers then begin carrying out CPR on the man, as she insists that he is a “good man” who “works for St Paul Public Schools… He’s never been in jail, anything.
“He’s not a gang member, anything.”
The camera briefly moves to her terrified child.
Reynolds then says: “It was a police officer that shot him. He asked him for his license and registration, which was in the back of his pocket, because he keeps his wallet in his pocket.
“And as he went to reach, he let the officer know before he was reaching that he had a firearm on him, and before he can let the officer know anything, the officer took off shots.
“About four or five rounds was shot.
“And my boyfriend, I don’t know what condition he’s in, I don’t know if he’s okay or if he’s not okay.
“I’m in the back seat of a police car, handcuffed… they got machine guns pointed.”
St Anthony Police Department said in a statement: “On 07-06-2016 at approximately 2100 hours, a St. Anthony Police Officer effected a traffic stop on Larpenteur and Fry in the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
“During the stop, shots were fired. One adult male was taken to the hospital. We have been informed that this individual is deceased.
“No one else was injured and the BCA has been called in to investigate this officer involved shooting. A handgun was recovered from the scene.
“The BCA will provide additional information as their investigation progresses.”
The shooting has caused outrage on social media.
It seems that the right to bare arms second it only applies to white people #FalconHeights

I am so glad I don’t live in America!! cops shoot for no reason, their target is blacks. They will simulate an internal investigation, but nothing will happen to the white cops who committed the crime. Secret societies,… globalist agenda etc . I think they are trying to bring about riots, so then there will be an excuse for martial law and FEMA camps , which are ready and waiting….depopulation.
I quote; I think they are trying to bring about riots, so then there will be an
excuse for martial law and FEMA camps , which are ready and
waiting….depopulation. And I say; if the occupants of communist infiltrated countries just sit on their hands and wait for war criminals to arrive at our doors, is what’s called willfully inviting depopulation… genocide.
Actually it’s a reverse psychology communist manifesto idea. Let me explain; there’s one thing the communist infiltrators don’t want to occur and one thing only; at all costs and that’s for the American people not to Rise up and arrest them in mass… period.
The communists want the victim countries in fighting, rioting to divide and conquer the peoeple because the communist De Rothschild infiltrators sure don’t want to see us rise up against them in mass and arrest them together, which is long overdue… https://jamessssmith.com/2015/04/04/john-woodman-an-epilogue/
good analysis. it is not so much the communists though, it is the Zionist elite, Rothchilds et al. Divide and conquer, so yes ordinary Americans need to wake up and stand up, and that’s no easy task. Example in hand criminal Clinton, why has she not been arrested?

Nice try? A clear blatant false flag. But real blood was used this time? The guy didn’t die… period. And if he did in fact die; it was blatant felony murder… and easy prove at the one stop shop for the truth… https://jamessssmith.com/2015/04/04/john-woodman-an-epilogue/
Question? If the “council for national policy” war criminal police officers can claim they feared for their life because a black man said he had a gun in his pocket? And shot him to death in cold blood… felony murder.
Then I can now legally substantiated and claim that I really do fear for my life because the prima facie proven nationwide war criminal police officers clearly have sidearms, guns on them.
It’s a valid question since I can thoroughly prove these CNP player cops are in fact war criminals. Wouldn’t shooting him or her on sight be lawful homicide since I can too substantiated I feared for my life? https://jamessssmith.com/2015/04/04/john-woodman-an-epilogue/

that’s called felony murder.

these CNP player cops are in fact war criminals. Wouldn’t shooting him
