CNN-
Just 24 hours after his death, much of the United States had heard about the death of Alton Sterling.
Figuring out what led up to those fateful seconds — and what the repercussions, if any, will be — will take much longer.
Federal authorities have taken charge of the investigation into the Tuesday killing of Sterling, a 37-year-old black man who sold CDs and DVDs outside the Triple S Food Mart in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Sterling was shot outside the store after an encounter with two police officers. The officers could be seen in video on top of him before the shots were fired.
Protests began Tuesday afternoon in Baton Rouge and were largely peaceful. Vigils and memorials have spread across the country.
Local civic leaders and Sterling’s loved ones have promised to continue their push to find the truth.
“I, for one, will not rest,” Quinyetta McMillon, the mother of one of Sterling’s children, said Wednesday, “and will not allow y’all to sweep him in the dirt.”
As she spoke, McMillon and Sterling’s 15-year-old son stood by her side, sobbing.
Hmmm, I heard, “he’s got a gun” Well did he? Why was homeboy struggling like that? And I love his mom(or whomever the fuck she is) getting in front of the cameras and calling this a murder.
My Negro Fatigue Meter is pegged-I don’t fucking care and don’t for a second believe his children depended on him daily.
Remember that cop that shot the man in SC(?) and initially it looked like, oh fuck he shot this man in the back while he was running away. Only to find out the dindu had got the cops taser and had used it on the cop twice.
We weren’t shown the videos of Michael Browns death because it would have corroborated the cops story and put an end to that “hands up don’t shoot” BS right from the start. You know there were at least 20 Obamaphones videoing the whole thing.
Oh well, I expect the BLM and FTP to be out in force the summer anyway, not like they need an excuse. Remember what 1968 did for the democrats, this summer will be 1968 on steroids, or should I say “purple drank”
Amazing isn’t it. A black man gets shot and killed by police and all of a sudden some black kid learns who his father is.
is that a .22 pistol in your pocket ? our are you just pleased to see us !
Felon in possession AND registered sex offender, must be one of those “nonviolent justice involved individuals” that Obama wants to seed the suburbs with.
One less sex offender on Earth is a GOOD thing and if you protest that you should soon follow.
Right on cue, he Dindu Nuffin!
And another black family hits the jackpot. How much in reparations will his mother get? The lifetime amount of government assistance and unused prison expense that would have been spent on Alton?
Luckily the career, impartial, professional, nonpartisan FBI will be investigating. They will find no intent.
4 dead, 47 wounded in July 4th weekend Chicago violence. Where’s all the video from Obama phones?
I have done some work in Baton Rouge.
If you get lost and end up in certain neighborhoods you better be armed.
I was scared of that town.
Perhaps this is about the Brexit vote?
You know, Pound Sterling…
Another dindu, time to move on
I need subtitles to understand what that porcine baby mama is unintelligibly babbling about. Doesn’t matter. Alton Sterling was a POS. I give zero fucks that he is dead. Have no sympathy for his welfare leeching baby mama or his corpulent blubbery tub of lard bastard son. Sorry, not sorry.
I left my Give A Shit in my other pant’s pockets.
Dang it fat finger down vote button
