The footage of the killing leaves little room for understanding as to why Sterling, 37, was shot and killed in front of a store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. According to The Advocate, allegedly an anonymous call was placed to authorities about a man who was selling CDs outside of the Triple S Food Mart who pointed a gun at someone telling them to leave the property. When officials arrived, the man in question was Alton Sterling, a distributor that had sold CDs and DVDs in front of the store for years. No one is exactly sure what happened between the time the officers arrived and when the video footage began, but all witnesses agree that the officers were aggressive with Sterling upon arrival, as Sterling just wanted to understand what he was being detained for. “They were really aggressive with him from the start,” Abdullah Muflahi, the store owner said.

Hire police that live inside the community and not police officers that live 60 miles away .
Making a petition and having citizens sign that petition and take it to Congress!!
Theirs Lives and Their Money is the ONLY WAY They Will Ever Start To RESPECT OURS.
Like you would any
BULLY ON THE PLAYGROUND. Fight Back! #Eye4Eye
There need to be think tanks and black security units in every black community. There needs to safe zone within our own hoods so that the kids and family’s have designated safe area that are off limits to crime and drugs.
It happens because there’s no punishment for reckless policing. It happens because we allow it. Hold officers accountable for their actions. If the judicial system won’t do it then it’s left up to people to do it. No sane person delights in violence but also no sane person would allow this to happen repeatedly to them. People only do what you allow them to do to you. It has to not be acceptable and whatever it takes for that to be understood, is what it takes.
Yessssss!
Voting will help also but not as much as a boycott. #REMEMBERSELMA WE NEED A NATION WIDE BLACK SELMA
It has to start with keeping our dollars in our pockets! The only way to affect this system i believe is to stop spending money on those major holidays were they use our dollars to reach their yearly financial goals. That will be a major start! It will show them that we are able to mobilize and stick to our causes.
Voting the right people in office can help some of it, people standing together on this issue, communities start policing the police, help change policy, but its just not one thing and it going to be a fight
There isn’t, no matter what we do or try it’s pointless. Fighting a war we can’t win.
We arent fighting thats the problem. All we do is talk.. we dont take any actions. Take our money back. Spend it with black owned businesses. Businesses that support our communities. Its all about the money. Stop spending ur money with them watch how things change..
I would love to see that happen
It starts with us. We cant keep waiting to see for others to do things..
