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.

Extremely sad situation. I understand the brother’s ambition to make some money (selling CDs), but if a store owner asks you to leave, then leave. Don’t threaten to shoot the store owner for the cops to get involved. Now, simply because he actually had a fire arm on him, he’s gone. His arms were detained when the cop yelled, “He has a gun!” (so, instead of taking the gun out of his pocket, it made since to shoot him at point-blank range, huh????)

For every action, there’s a REaction…..
Said that . .
The store owner never asked him to leave, they are friends.
Brandy Brown-Rhodes, that’s what I’ve come to find out as well, so now my attention is geared towards the person that made the call in the first place….IF there ever was a call placed…..
PETITION AND GET THESE COPS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. IF WE DONT STICK TOGETHER ON A POSITIVE NOTE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WIN AND THEY WILL NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FUCKERY…..BOYCOTT
Exactly
If I as a civilian can’t go out & do this, why can they?? If I would get charged they need to as well. That’s how but they are allowed, we are not
Feeling Bad for the Family’s… But we must start THINKING….. It’s a crime and punishment for saleing item’s out side store’s .We shouldn’t be saleing Bootlegs items…. YES the way this Horrible Crimes went down the officer should get punished….But our #1 Priority for Our Children should be Stay in School and Work and follow the instructions and Steps for a better Life…..
Bootleggers are thieves. I can’t stand a thief
Wow. So just because its a crime the punishment is death.. smh.. there is no But.
The guy was murdered. I feel bad for his family
Bootleggers are thieves???? I don’t know about that. But what I do know is murder is murder and he was murdered by somebody we are suppose to trust to make the right decision dealing with people and situations. You see I can live with a bootlegger but I can’t live with a murderer.
Hmmmmm
Bootlegging is thievery.
What are the steps for a better life? Tell me as a black person. No. What about the guy in Minnesota who died
Breaking the law is rarely a step to a better life.
Going by the law ur murdered as well. So he sold cds they treat mass shooters with better treatment and murder is much worst get out of here
He didn’t deserve to die
Vote for Trump
We should vote our policemen and women in, just like we do our politicians. Ijs. I have a few ideas. Having the thought of doing nothing, is just as bad as waiting for you to get a knock in the door and your loved one is the next statistic. I would rather die trying, if it means something for my daughters’ generation.
bro.. that’s a very tough question but a well needed one.
I just don’t know smh just don’t know!
Stop spending our money, where they don’t help the community!! Go to Black Owned and Operated banks online if we have to, to send a message. A lot of banking can be done online, just like the billionaires with their off-shore accounts!!
