The police tamper with evidence, put the blame on us: Philando Castile’s girlfriend

In another Facebook post, Reynolds had said, “I wanted everyone in the world to know how much [the police] tamper with evidence and how much they manipulate our minds. I wanted it to go viral so that people could determine themselves as to what was right and what was wrong.”

On 7th July, Castile, 32, was shot in front of Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter after police pulled their car over, citing a broken tail light.

Reynolds streamed the gruesome aftermath of the slaying live on Facebook, telling a worldwide audience that her companion had been shot “for no apparent reason” while reaching for his wallet. Reynolds and relatives say he wasn’t tended to until paramedics arrived more than 10 minutes later. The Facebook footage shows Castile motionless inside the car for several minutes.

About 200 people are gathered outside the Minnesota Governor’s Residence in St. Paul to protest, following which Governor Mark Dayton started pressing the Justice Department to open its second investigation of the week into the death of a black man at the hands of police.

Reynolds told reporters Thursday that Philando Castile did “nothing but what the police officer asked of us, which was to put your hands in the air and get your license and registration.” An autopsy later confirmed that Castile was died of multiple gunshot wounds.
