Minnesota governor blames Philando Castile police killing on racial bias


Castile had been reaching for identification after warning the officer that he was legally carrying a handgun, according to his girlfriend. On Tuesday, 37-year-old Alton Sterling was shot dead during a struggle with two officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was the second time this week that the killing by police of an African American was captured on widely shared cellphone video. “We don’t speak out for black American nor white America or any other kinds of racial position. Please officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him.”As other officers arrive, Reynolds is instructed to leave the vehicle.
