    Was he armed? Was he resisting?

    According to media reports, one officer had already pinned Alton Sterling to the ground when another officer shot him at close range.

    I can't wait to start seeing the descriptions of Mr. Sterling as an "armed thug" in the Vast Right-Wing Echo Chamber.

    Did you see the video a shop owner took of the "incident" OS? There are two videos...the second one is extremely close up. There were two cops on him.The man was pinned to the ground. One cop took out his gun, pointed it to the immobilized man's chest and you heard gun shots. Then immediately you see the cop take something out of the dead man's pants pocket. It's hard to tell what but we are told it was a gun. He was shot 4 times. Maybe we need a  DOBJ department full time. Department of Black Justice. Anyway the DOJ jumped in within 30 hours and there will be a federal investigation.  Mahalo for your reply and the link. The  pro-cop anti-vics will be coming out of the woodwork on this. Again. :(

    What can bring about the changes Autumn? I am very depressed by all the violence. It seems to be accelerating. We cannot escape it in America. Is that our destiny? Will that be our legacy? What a terrible thing it would be if true. Thank you for your reply.
