re: #43 goddamnedfrank
This is straight up fuckery. They knew for a fact that Castile was issued a permit but wanted to feed the right wingers something they could run with in order to cast doubt on that fact.

They’re pretending that the information is “private” and they can’t give it out themselves even though newspapers have confirmed Castile had a valid permit, but they have no problem handing the racists red meat and pretending there’s some wiggle room because they didn’t issue it. If it turns out they’ve had his permit in their evidence locker this whole time that equivocating bullshit tweet is going to look even worse.
I think you may be overreacting:
@UTHornsRawk Just because Mr. Castile did not have a permit from our office does not mean that he did not have one.
