The one I pulled from the video at the :50 mark is second.

The only difference is yours is zoomed in.

I'm shocked that you can't see that.
I don't see a gun either. What I see could just as easily be a black leather belt hanging.

That's what it looks like to me, too. It being a gun just makes no sense. What, the guy is rolling down the street with his girlfriend and a 4-year old girl in the back seat, gets pulled over, and pulls a gun on a cop? Why?

He's been stopped 52 times in his life; that's more times than most people his age have been laid. He doesn't know how to get through a traffic stop by now? It doesn't make any sense that this is the time he decides to shoot it out.

Not..........
It's not important, but just out of curiosity ... except for this thread and the voices in your head, where'd you hear the cops connected Castile's wide nose or anything else about him to a BANK robbery.

He looks to be wearing sweat pants - if that's true, it probably isn't a belt.

And you can see an outline of what appears to be a wallet in his front pocket - Diamond has said he carried a thick wallet, and that's what it looks to be in his front right pocket next to the door.

As for a gun not making sense - it actually makes perfect sense. That's one of the things everyone in this situation agrees on. That Castile had a gun. So it's not a stretch to think that the black thing we see in his lap IS that gun.

Also, from Diamond's social media presence, she's documented A LOT. I have to wonder if she didn't record the initial traffic stop and potentially the shooting itself.

Not true at all. The GF now states they never told the cop that he was a legal permit holder.

He should have never been pulled over.

Until someone actually produces a link to her saying that, I'm going to keep calling bull**** on it. A lot of people keep repeating it, but so far I haven't seen one person actually put up a link to her saying that. Until someone does, I'm gonna keep saying that this just sounds like one of those lies that people keep repeating until it's accepted as truth.
