Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the police officer who shot Philando Castile returned to work last week. Last month, Jeronimo Yanez fatally shot Castile, who is African-American, during a traffic stop. Castile’s death was live-streamed on Facebook by his girlfriend, Diamond “Lavish” Reynolds, in an extraordinary video, in which she narrated the aftermath of the shooting while she was still in the car, with a police officer pointing a gun at her and her four-year-old daughter, as her boyfriend lay dying next to her. Castile’s death sparked nationwide protests against police violence. Yanez has been temporarily given an administrative position.
