In her press statement today she let some truth slip out.

My boyfriend carries all his information in a thick wallet in his right side back pocket,” Reynolds said. “As he’s reaching for his back pocket wallet he lets the officer know, ‘Officer, I have a firearm on me.’ I begin to yell, ‘But he’s licensed to carry.’ ” According to Reynolds, the officer started firing shortly after.

Sounds very chaotic.

The idiot Castile did not say he had a gun UNTIL HE WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF REACHING FOR SOMETHING.

Then Diamond goes ape yelling ,probably incomprehensibly, adding to the confusion and the poor officer had no choice but to fire in self defense from a real percieved threat.
