(Video) Lavish Reynolds Speaks Out Over Boyfriend Philando Castile Being Killed
Lavish Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter had to witness a trigger-happy, cowardly cop shoot and kill her boyfriend, Philando Castile, over a routine traffic stop. The cop reportedly alleged that the car they were driving in had a broken tail light, and asked for Castile’s license and registration upon approaching the vehicle. According to Reynolds, Castile informed the cop – as he is supposed to – that he was armed, with Reynolds adding that he is licensed to carry. As he reached to produce the documents he was asked for, he was shot “four or five” times and soon died from his injuries. Reynolds was quickly asked to exit her vehicle with her hands up, being treated as a criminal instead of a victim of horrific police brutality. (No, she wasn’t injured, but seeing what happened to her boyfriend is enough to scar her and her daughter for a lifetime.) She was detained and reportedly separated from her child at the police station, before finally being released hours later.
Bernie Sanders Speaks Out In Support Of Philando Castile & Alton Sterling
In the last 48 hours, two innocent lives were lost because of trigger-happy police. They were both black men. The cops were not. This is just the latest in an on-going issue between cops and people of color – or on an even broader scale (so you #AllLivesMatter people will actually pay attention,) cops with a God complex and innocent people who don’t deserve to die. There is no justification. Selling CDs doesn’t equal a death sentence. Selling cigarettes doesn’t equal a death sentence. Carrying a toy gun doesn’t equal a death sentence. And carrying a licensed weapon, rightfully informing the cop who stopped you for a busted tail light about it and reaching for your ID as asked also does not equal a death sentence.
