Has it been reported on this thread that the video was shot at an reverse angle(or whatever the word) and that Diamond was the passenger and the man shot was the driver and that driver looked like the robber of the bank and gun in his lap looked like the weapon involved? This was reported on WLW radio by Mike McConnell or Sloan( I believe), who said they saw video of the bank robbery. Diamond basically lied when she said they were pulled over for broken tail light.

 

I think it was brought up a couple of pages ago. This report came from a rather dubious source whose credibility has been questioned by many as a "reach" or out and out fabrication. I think the snopes.com article goes into this in detail as well. I saw the actual website promoting this angle and felt it was a little bit of "here's the evidence we found and we will make it fit our narrative to explain this all away."

"Pulled over because you look like a suspect" means "pulled over because you are black."

 

POWB

I think you need to read the snopes.com article a little bit closer. The news station said that the audio that was provided could not be verified as being authentic but that the license plate information contained in it did match the license plate information from the Castile's vehicle. The way that I read that it sounds to me that they are using his plate information to verify that it was a recording of the radio transmissions from the stop before the shooting--not that it matched the license plate number of the robbery suspect. Is that not how you read it? I would assume if they knew the plate number of the robbery suspect Castile would already have had a warrant out on him wouldn't he?

 

The first time I read it I read it as he did. I then saw the mistake I made.

Basically just trying to find out:

Did she lie about being pulled over for broken tail light?

Was the victim the driver and video shown was deceiving?

Did he look like the suspect involved in the robbery(WLW reported he did and gun looked like weapon used), is any of that true?

I didn't read it at all, I read that from other places.

Yeah because there are never white out Hispanic suspects.

So did they say that the plates matched the robbery suspect? Or were the plates used to verify that the recording was if the proper call? Because it would stand to reason that if those plates matched the robbery suspect that the police would have already been specifically looking for the owner of that vehicle, right? I've read nothing to that effect.

I dont know. I don't know if he was the owner of the car. I don't know if the plates actually matched, i don't even know if there was a robbery.

 

I'm waiting to find out like everyone else.

The plate did not match.

"Pulled over because you look like a suspect" means "pulled over because you are black."

 

Really it doesn't but what's the point in arguing that.

Snopes breaks down the claim that he was wanted for robbery and that he had the gun in his lap.

That link doesn't say anything different from the first article from the conservative tree house claiming the same thing other than her most recent interview.

I had not watched the video from the supposed girlfriend until last night. Is anyone questioning if this was real thing or a 'drill'? He was shot in the arm, he was shot 4 times, he is 'shot dead' (though still obviously breathing). If the story is all made up - anything is possible in the narrative.

So the guy is alive? Not sure the inference when calling it staged.
