In the video, Reynolds describes being pulled over for a “busted tail light”. Police in Minnesota say a man has been taken to a hospital in unknown condition after being shot by an officer while inside a vehicle with a woman and a child.

Castile was shot several times “for no apparent reason” while reaching for his wallet, after telling the officer he had a gun and a permit to carry it, his girlfriend said as she streamed the immediate aftermath live on Facebook.
Reynolds used her cellphone to film the aftermath of the shooting, careful to address the officer as “sir” and follow his instructions. Like a lot of you guys, I watched the videos, and was appalled and completely heartbroken. We’ll hold on to the rope of hope. Castile had no such luck. “I told him not to reach for it!

A leader on a loudspeaker urged the group to march to the governor’s mansion, where protesters have gathered since the fatal police shooting on Wednesday of Philando Castile in suburban St. Paul. The worst will be expected of him.
Castile was shot as he reached for his ID as ordered by one of the officers involved in the stop over a broken taillight.. In Chicago today, no one will be surprised if a child is killed in gang crossfire.
