“She said, ‘Mom, the police are bad guys'”. Due to its small size, Falcon Heights is served primarily by the nearby St. Anthony Police Department. Tents were sent up along Summit as water and food were brought in for protesters.

Choi’s remarks came hours after five police officers were fatally shot and seven wounded after a demonstration in Dallas over fatal shootings by police in Minnesota and Louisiana. “I have faith that good people, with good hearts, doing good things, will help heal the wounds of this bad week, and create safer communities for all of our people”. “When they encounter us as professionals on their jobs, they treat us like we are animals”.
Philando Castile is one of a growing number of black Americans killed by police. “We need to do this work together”.
The Minnesota cop who pulled Philando Castile over before shooting and killing him Wednesday did not actually pull him over for a broken tail light as was first reported. Kauser walked up on the passenger side.

A police officer holding a gun on Castile says, “I told him not to reach for it!”
St. Paul Police say no one was injured in the incident.
The BCA said a gun was recovered at the scene. Diamond Reynolds not only had the presence of mind to live-stream the immediate aftermath of the shooting, but just two days later, she appeared on CNN to help put this frightful week into perspective.

Facebook has since denied reports said that it deleted the video, with Reynolds claiming that it was police who accessed her phone and Facebook account to remove the incriminating evidence.
“He didn’t do anything; he did exactly as the police asked”, Reynolds cried.
Reynold said she was treated like a criminal.
In March, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman decided (boldly, some thought) not to use a grand jury in the police shooting of Jamar Clark – or ever again. Choi, acknowledging that no officers have been indicted for an on-duty shooting during his six years in office, intimated that’s because there is a “very hard standard” to meet. Dayton waded through the crowd as protesters chanted: “What do we want?”
The video looks up to the sky while she’s detained but she can be heard screaming, “Please don’t tell me my boyfriend is gone”.
To people who have been waiting for the gun rights organization to comment on the death of legal gun owner Philando Castile, this might read as the NRA showing its hand.
