did you actually watch the video?
the cop on the right had control of alton's left arm
the cop on the left was struggling for control of alton's right arm
all of this could have been avoided if alton wasn't struggling :idunno:
takeaway lesson here?
don't struggle with the cops when you're being arrested

if black lives really mattered, this is what bammy and all the other race-baiters would be stressing
They are pawns...collateral damage in his quest to disorganize America on racial, ideological, & cultural grounds. This is what the man is trained for...community disorganization, division, and racial unrest, he is quite good at it as we have seen.
Just how could Sterling go for the weapon in question if he had a police officer on each arm?"
It should be noted that the authorities have yet to produce the alleged weapon that has been used to justify shooting him at point-blank range 5X - perhaps they're still looking for it!
Are you a pathological liar jgarden?
WARNING! Violence and profanity in video.

When one is so intellectually-challenged that they are unable to debate the merits of the case, they are forced to resort to personal insults in an attempt to compensate.
How many lies have you told about this case alone?
1). The deceased was fact down...LIE
2). A gun was not recovered...LIE
I discussed why your kind hate police officers like they do in another thread jgarden; would you care to be honest for once in your life and tell the good people of TOL why?

Now its "aCultureWarrior" turn to produce documented evidence that Sterling had a gun in his hand at the time he was shot!
To my knowledge, the authorities have yet to confirm or produce the gun that Sterling is alleged to have had in his pocket.

And? Were the officers not allowed to use deadly force until convicted sex offender and violent thug Alton Sterling physically had the gun that he was attempting to take out of his pocket in his hand and was pointing it at them?
You didn't answer my earlier question:
Why the HATRED of law enforcement jgarden?
What Sterling may or may may have done prior to the arrival of the police is not the issue.
Whether Sterling was a convicted sex offender or a thug, as "aCultureWarrior" is so eagar to characterize him, is also immaterial because the officers would not have been aware of his record when they arrived.
If the police would have been justified in summarily executing Sterling on the spot, based on the complaint alone, why did the two officers attempt to restrain him?
There is no evidence that he was brandishing a gun when the police arrived or that he threatened them with one - the mere act of having a gun in one's pocket doesn't constitute a crime in a country where civilians have the constitutional right to bear arms.
Neither the videos nor the civilian witnesses, including the store owner, provide any indication that Sterling was trying to put his hands in his pockets in a threatening manner, while being restrained by 2 officers.
The fact that the authorities have remained silent about any gun that Sterling may have had on his person becomes more and more ominous as time goes by. If he had had a loaded gun in his pocket, one would have expected the authorities to have released that information at least as quickly as they were willing to release information about Sterling's past criminal record.
Remember from an earlier post that Dallas police officers "responded to a call that claimed Mr. Sterling was brandishing a firearm". They had reason to believe that he was armed.
The officers responding only had information that Sterling was brandishing a firearm. His long criminal record (including attempting to pull a gun on a police officer on a prior occasion: "The report says a gun fell from Sterling’s waistband while the officer was “wrestling” with him on the ground. Other officers arrived and helped arrest him...") was made pubic after the incident occurred, showing those with an ounce of common sense what kind of thug Alton Sterling was.
Responding officers wouldn't have been justified shooting Alton Sterling on the spot based on the complaint alone, they were however justified in using deadly force when Alton Sterling was resisting arrest and attempting to remove a handgun out of his pant pocket.
Again, Dallas police were responding to a call stating that a large black male later identified as Alton Sterling was brandishing a firearm. When they attempted to question Sterling a struggle ensued.
I believe that Alton Sterling was a convicted felon, therefore he couldn't legally own a firearm. That being said: resisting arrest and attempting to pull a gun out of his pocket "constitutes a crime" (one that allows police officers to use deadly force).
The video showed a combative Alton Sterling's right shoulder moving, indicating as the officers stated, that he was attempting to remove a firearm from his pant pocket.
The video shows a gun being removed from Alton Sterling's pant pocket and a civilian eye witness confirmed that. Whether the gun was "loaded" (and it most likely was) is irrelevant, as officers wouldn't know if they were looking down the barrel of a unloaded gun had the convicted sex offender and violent thug been successful in getting the firearm out of his pant pocket.
One more time: Why the HATRED of law enforcement jgarden?
Why the hatred of innocent citizens? Why the hatred of black lives?
Maybe. Later on I read an article that detailed the previous complaints and none of them sounded that bad.
That's how I'm leaning at the moment.
Was Sterling reaching for his gun? We will never know for sure. Were the cops justified in killing him? We will never know for sure. But you can't resist cops. It just won't work out well for you.
I think the Castile case may prove to be stronger for the Black Lives Matter crowd. It would be helpful to have video of what happened prior to when his girlfriend starting recording. There are already holes in her side of the story.

It seems the Castile case is presenting a tricky situation for the NRA.
I'm not completely familiar with the MN incident
Castile's side of the story is that he explained to the cop that he had a gun and a permit to carry. That he was reaching for his ID when the cop shot him.
The cop's side of the story is that Castile was reaching for the gun. The video the girlfriend recorded catches the cop saying. "I told him not to reach for it", or something to that effect.
According to Castile's girlfriend they were pulled over for only a busted tail light but I saw something else that said they were pulled over because they matched a description of some armed robbery suspects. If that was the case then I can understand the cop being a bit more concerned about what Castile was doing.
I'm sure you can find more but that's a brief description.
This is the best detailed article that I've found thus far on the Philando Castile shooting.
I wonder why the lamestream media doesn't share this information with the public? (not that it would matter to cop-haters like patrick jane).
