New Video surfaces in Baton Rouge Murder – Yet another Black man shot down dead in the streets of America!
As it turns out, a second video showing the shooting death of Alton Sterling has emerged in the form of police Body camera and dashcam video. You be the judge!
Alton Sterling sells CDs outside of s convenient store. The owner reveals he has known Sterling for about 6 yrs and never known him to ever be in trouble. He witnessed the shooting. Apparently the witness who called 911 said Sterling was “brandishing a gun,” not pointing it at someone.
Alton Sterling was shot several times while being held on the ground by police outside a Louisiana convenience store; two white Baton Rouge police officers who were answering a 911 report of a man with a gun. It is the second of two bystander videos that show the encounter. One posted online Tuesday night quickly sparked local protests and drew national attention.
In this new 38-second recording, Sterling is already on the ground, on his back. One officer is kneeling to Sterling’s left. The other officer appears to be straddling Sterling’s legs. Sterling can be seen from the chest up and his lower legs are also visible. His left arms and hands are not visible; his right arm is by his side.
The video shows Sterling moves his left arm toward his face and then his chest, the other officer appears to remove something from one of Sterling’s right pockets. Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie Jr. said Sterling was armed at the time he was killed and one witness said the officer removed a gun from Sterling’s pocket.
Sterling, a 37-year-old man who sold CDs and DVDs outside the store, died of his wounds. The officers involved in Tuesday’s shooting — Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II have both been placed on administrative leave according to several media outlet. Are officers suppose to serve and protect first? Of is that in reference to Caucasians. It’s so commonplace for police officer to overreact in cases where black men are involved. This is genocidal! When will it stop? How does it end???
