Voices reacting to Philando Castile's shooting death by police

"He was loving. He was caring. He stayed home, he went to work, and he took care of his business,"

Diamond Reynolds, the girlfriend of Philando Castile who was present when he was shot

"We're demanding a change to our laws and policies that allow these types of things to happen. Too often officers are taught to shoot first and ask questions last, and that's completely unacceptable."

- Nekima Levy-Pounds, president, NAACP Minneapolis

"On behalf of all decent-minded Minnesotans, we are shocked and horrified by what occurred last night."

- Gov. Mark Dayton

"What's clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve."

"This tragedy may also offer an opportunity to take a hard look at police training and protocols related to interactions with armed citizens who are legally carrying a firearm."

- Bryan Strawser, executive director of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus

"We live a world where certain Americans live in fear that their name will become a hashtag. It is not enough to say 'Black Lives Matter'. It's time to make the system mean it. We need immediate and meaningful accountability and justice"
