The police did not cause Sterling's death. Sterling caused it.

The same behavior that killed the morbidly obese guy selling "loosie" cigarettes, who instead of cooperating with arresting officers fought them and subsequently died of a heart attack after saying "I can't breathe". Then the criminal community screamed about an "illegal choke hold", which never occurred.

Yeah a police officer is going to risk a great job to buy a bootleg DVD? You gotta be kidding me. The 70’s are over...

Yep. Truth puts a damper on the pity party... probably why they leave it out.

Yes, they will, because they don’t see it as piracy. I have seen it myself, not my agencies officers and I told you even the Feds don’t care much less the locals.

The hawkers do it all day long in the parks in St.Louis.

Also, Alton Sterling in 2009 had had a very similar previous experience with BRPD involving resisting arrest and threatening the life of an officer.
Those cops knew his history.
