The horrific video of Philando Castile, bleeding to death after being shot four times by police in the course of a traffic stop, is a searing, unforgettable reminder that black people in this country function daily with a level of risk most would find intolerable.
What's not broached in the audio dispatch is a broken taillight, which is what Castile's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, says was the reason she and Castile were told they were pulled over. A witness took video at the scene and says there didn't appear to be any broken taillights.
