much better, the cops not waste time to tase or pepper him, this is a execution
In the US the cops quickly shot anyone
I think this is the non - official police and political order to curbing crime in the US

The poor dude signed his death warrant when he reached for his gun. Watch the vid. You see his right shoulder go up. His right arm is free. He reaches in his pocket for his gun. You see both cops reach for the guns in response. They do it it simultaneously in response to his actions.

If these people would stop resisting arrest and stop trying to kill cops, then they wouldn't get shot they selves.

I am so tired of police brutality PERIOD. I'm tired of them getting away with murder. And NO I'm not a "black lives matter" because to me that shit is a joke. How the fuck are we going to demand people to respect us when we don't respect ourselves?? This black on black crime makes me sick. I'm fucking tired of senseless violence in all aspects. Police kill and get away with murdering black, white, Latino whatever. This "us versus them" mentality has got to stop. The solution begins with people stop playing the victim role. Be proactive instead of reactive. It starts within every community. In my town we had a seminar where the people of the town voiced their concerns and grievances to the PD. And it made changes. Stop crying and fucking do something about it..... Damn..

(CNN)A day after a video captured white officers pinning down a black man who was shot by one of the officers outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, federal authorities are investigating the case.

Alton Sterling, 37, is dead. The U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is leading an investigation into what happened. And the president of the NAACP's local branch is calling for the city's police chief and mayor to resign.

Tensions are running high as officials vow to be transparent about how they handle the controversial case. Here's the latest on what we know:

• The officers involved in Tuesday's shooting -- Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II -- have been placed on administrative leave. A police incident report says Sterling was shot by one of the officers but doesn't specify which.

• The U.S. attorney's office in Baton Rouge, the FBI and state police also will be involved in the investigation, Gov. John Bel Edwards said.

• "I don't plan on resigning," police Chief Carl Dabadie Jr. said in response to calls for him to step down. "We have done a lot of good in this community. We have worked very hard in this community. Do we have an issue right now? Yes. But we are working right now to bring the truth out."

• The chief vowed authorities would conduct a transparent and independent investigation. "Like you, there is a lot that we do not understand, and at this point, like you, I am demanding answers," Dabadie said. "Like you all, my prayers are with this community, and especially with the family and loved ones of Mr. Sterling, and all the members of the Baton Rouge Police Department."

• Mayor Melvin "Kip" Holden defended his city's response to Sterling's death, noting that officials had been discussing the importance of conducting an independent investigation from the outset. "It's not like we need to be hand-held and spoon-fed when it comes to doing what's right," Holden said. The mayor described Baton Rouge as an "inclusive community" with top-ranked police, fire and emergency medical services. "We have a wound right now, but we'll be healing, and making this city and parish whole again," he said.

• Authorities urged people to be peaceful if they protest the shooting.

The 'CD man'
Sterling was known as the "CD man," a laid-back guy who would sell tunes and DVDs outside the convenience store where he was shot, according to local media.

"Alton was a respected man. He was beloved in the community. He did not deserve the treatment and this excessive force that was exerted on him by the police department," Jordan, his attorney, told CNN.

Now Sterling's family is "grieving and mourning for an unnecessary loss of life," the attorney said.

"Alton was out there selling CDs, trying to make a living. He was doing it with the permission of the store owner, so he wasn't trespassing or anything like that. He wasn't involved in any criminal conduct," Jordan said.

Abdullah Muflahi, the owner of the Triple S Food Mart, said he saw the officers slam Sterling on a car.

"They told him not to move," he said. "He was asking them what he did wrong."

He said the officers then used a stun gun on Sterling at least once before shooting.
Both got on top of him, and one ordered him not to move, Muflahi said.

The one closest to Sterling's legs yelled "gun," he said, and the shots followed.

After the shooting, Muflahi said an officer reached into Sterling's pocket and pulled out a gun.

Muflahi said he'd known Sterling for six years and never saw a confrontation between Sterling and anyone. Sterling never got into fights, he said. And the store owner said he wasn't aware of any incident Tuesday that would have spurred a 911 call.

"Just five minutes before," Muflahi said, "he walked into the store getting something to drink, joking around, (and we were) calling each other names." Source: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/06/us/bat...ing/index.html

Really? That's what you really think?

[Tyrantus]

Actually, he was tased.

Easy solution. Don't act like a militant ape, and you won't get shot.

I hear people say "Well he shouldn't have resisted!" Of course he's going to resist. When a black man in the USA is confronted by two white cops he is going to fear for his life. I would resist too if I felt threatened. There is aclear pattern here. Baltimore, New York, San Francisco, Ferguson, Miami, LA, Chicago, etc., etc., etc.
