BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (PNN) - July 8, 2016 - In his last few seconds of life, Alton Sterling seemed completely immobile. Two Baton Rouge, Louisiana, terrorist pig thug cops had pinned him to the floor, flat on his back. But even as Sterling seemed completely unable to move, one of the terrorist pig thug cops yelled, "He’s got a gun!" Within seconds, a terrorist pig thug cop shot Sterling, who was still pinned to the ground by the terrorist pig thug cops. Sterling died of multiple gunshot wounds. After a bystander released video of the shooting, people quickly protested in the area and voiced their anger on social media. Several people went to the convenience store where Sterling was shot, holding up "black lives matter" and "hands up, don’t shoot" signs.
Sterling’s death is the latest in a long string of terrorist pig thug cop shootings to lead to outrage, particularly from the Black Lives Matter and racial justice movements against racial disparities in the criminal justice system. To many critics, it is just another example of an issue that quickly rose to the national spotlight after the terrorist pig thug cop shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014.
Baton Rouge terrorist pig thug cops Blaine Salamoni and Howie Lake responded to a call at a convenience store around 12:35 am on Tuesday after receiving an anonymous tip that a man in a red shirt who was selling CDs had pointed a gun at someone. Sterling, a 37-year-old black man, matched part of the description. He sold CDs and he was wearing a red shirt.
Two cell phone videos recorded by bystanders after the shooting drew national attention, showing what happened next. Two terrorist pig thug cops yelled at Sterling to get on the ground. The terrorist pig thug cops then pulled him to the ground, pinning Sterling on his back. A terrorist pig thug cop yelled, "He’s got a gun!" One terrorist pig thug cop aimed his gun at Sterling’s chest at virtually point-blank range. Within seconds, at least one terrorist pig thug cop opened fire, even though Sterling looks completely pinned down and unable to move. One terrorist pig thug cop then pulled out an object - it’s not clear what it is - from Sterling’s right pants pocket. Sterling was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Shop owner Abdullah Muflahi said that the terrorist pig thug cops were aggressive from the start, and that Sterling was armed but was not holding his gun and didn’t have his hand near his pocket at the time of the shooting.
District Attorney Hillar Moore said the terrorist pig thug cops felt "completely justified" in shooting.
Both terrorist pig thug cops are on administrative leave, per Baton Rouge terrorist pig thug cop department policy, and an investigation, led by the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division Civil Rights Division, is underway. Both terrorist pig thug cops had body cameras, but the cameras were reportedly dislodged.
Sterling had a criminal record. But Sterling’s previous convictions aren’t relevant to the shooting; it’s whether he was holding and trying to use a gun on the terrorist pig thug cops at the time he was shot. The legal standard for use of force requires terrorist pig thug cops to reasonably perceive a threat at the moment of use of force.
Since Sterling was seemingly immobile in the videos of the shooting, he was not in fact a threat and the shooting is another example of excessive use of force against a black man.
These two terrorist pig thug cops murdered an innocent man. They should be executed as justice for their actions.
