US police kills man, girlfriend live streams his last moments (Graphic video)

US: 32 year old Philando Castile who was driving with his girl friend and 4 year old son was shot dead by white US police on Wednesday night inside his car after he was pulled over by the cops for a busted taillight. The incidents comes just less than 24 hours after some cops gruesomely shoot and killed an unarmed black man Alton Sterling, in Louisiana. See video below

The heartbreaking moments was livestreamed on Facebook by the devastated girlfriend Diamond Reynolds.

In the Facebook footage, Reynolds, claims the couple were pulled over for a broken taillight and that her boyfriend told the police officer he was carrying a permitted firearm.
The police officer then asked him for license and registration:
He told him that it was in his wallet, but he had a pistol on him because he’s licensed to carry.” Castile was licensed to carry a gun, and was therefore legally carrying a gun, and although he informed the police officer of this, he still died. “The officer said don’t move. As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times,” Reynolds said in tears.
She was heard yelling that the “police shot him for no apparent reason, no reason at all.”
“Please no, don’t let him be gone. Why?!” she cried
The police officer can be heard saying:
 “Ma’am, keep your hands where they are,” and Reynolds agrees.
The police officer can be heard shouting “F***!”
“I told him not to reach for it!” he adds. “I told him to get his hand open.”
Reynolds replies saying:
“You told him to get his ID, sir, you told him to get his driver’s licence.”
Reynolds full of shock is then heard saying:
 “Oh god, don’t tell me he’s dead. Please don’t tell me my boyfriend just went like that ... please don’t tell me that he’s gone.”
“Please don’t tell me this Lord, please Jesus don’t tell me that he’s gone.”
“Please officer don’t tell me that you just did this to him. You shot four bullets into him, sir,” she said.
She repeats:
 “He was just getting his licence and registration, sir.”
More police back up arrives at the scene and ask Reynolds to get out of the car and walk backwards.
She was asked if they have a daughter, after a child was heard crying in the distance. It was her four-year-old daughter.
She was told to get on her knees and she is handcuffed.
He phone appears to have been dropped on the ground, as sky was in view.
“They threw my phone, Facebook,” Reynolds said.
An officer then told Reynolds she was being detained.
While Reynolds’ Facebook livestream has been taken down, the video was circulated across social media.
Castile was rushed to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he later died confirmed relatives.
Relatives of Castile expressed their grief at the sudden and violent loss on socio media

“My family will never be the same!!! This has rocked me to the core!!! I lost my cousin to the hands of the police,” IRok Wilson posted. 
St. Anthony interim police chief Jon Mangseth told reporters on Wednesday night that two of his officers were the ones at the traffic stop with Castile adding that he was aware of the Facebook video, which has since been taken down.

In a statement, St Anthony Police Department claimed that a St. Anthony Police officer told the couple to make a traffic stop on Larpenteur and Fry in the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
“During the stop, shots were fired. One adult male was taken to the hospital. We have been informed that this individual is deceased,”
“No one else was injured and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has been called in to investigate this officer involved shooting. A handgun was recovered from the scene.”
“The BCA will provide additional information as their investigation progresses.”
