His name Is Kiel Rushton and He Killed Philando Castile
Andrew Henderson of Minnesota CopBlock has been on the ground in St. Anthony, MN seeking justice for the wrongful death of Philando Castile.
Henderson is no stranger to outing corrupt and killer cops. Just a few month ago he exposed Jeff Rothecker for his role in making inappropriate comments on social media.
Today Henderson believes he’s identified the officer who killed Castile and set the community into a rage over the senseless murder as Kiel Rushton.
Henderson says he confirmed his suspicion with Lavish Reynolds, the girlfriend of Castile who livestreamed Castile’s last moments after Rushton shot him.
Furthermore, Henderson was pulled over by Rushton in May of 2013 and even stated in the description of the video that:
I got pulled over by the St. Anthony police for having a headlight out. The officer was very professional, and it was a exemplary police interaction. This is the kind of officer I want policing the streets.
While some might think Henderson was mistaken about Rushton being a ‘good police officer’ but I feel that this video shows that Rushton most likely overreacted. Rushton first asked Castile for his ID, then to put his hands up after being told he had a gun and then shot him for ‘not keeping his hands still.’ This is the mentality of a police officer and it’s placed in their minds from day one of the academy.
Rushton was going by the book when asking for ID and Castile was going by the book when declaring he had a firearm. Then Rushton freaked, in his mind he thought “a gun?”, and he immediately went into paranoid cop mode give mixed orders and escalating a situation that didn’t require it.
Now a man is dead and people are justifiably upset.
Walter Scott, Samuel Dubose and now Philando Castile all died because police stopped them for MINOR vehicle violations. Michael Slager, Ray Tensing and now Kiel Rushton took a life over something as simple as a front license plate missing or burnt out taillight.
When are officers going to stop with these stupid revenue generation tickets that put them in danger as well as those they claim to protect? Is the warning, or ticket, issued for a burnt out light worth the small possibility that SOMEONE might be harmed (officer or person stopped)?
I know I wouldn’t risk having to take a life, lose my career or end up in jail just to nap a few hundred bucks for the state. Seems LEO’s have no problem doing such…. Hopefully you active LEO’s out there won’t be the next Slager, Tensing or Rushton.
Yet, it’s only a matter of time before you do, that’s what your employer is asking of you.
Think about that.
