Where did that picture come from? I’ve seen the cell phone video where the cop was on top of the man shooting him but nothing like this.
White cop + black man killed= massive outrage.
Black thug + white cop killed= media and dems don’t care.
To the Huffington Post, "unarmed" means only one gun.
Cops: drugs? booze? psych issues? legal/disciplinary issues?
Dead guy? drugs? booze? psych issues? criminal record?
I talked with somebody from BTR. Sterling shot first.
Read the suspect is a convicted sex offender..bet the media wont be reporting on that fact
Ex-felon with a record.
Possesses an illegal gun.
Is threatening people with gun outside of the store (why police were called in the first place).
Does not comply with cop commands.
Fights cops while on the ground.
And people wonder why he was shot? Really?
About 15 years ago, in the SF bay area I was on foot and two policemen confronted me and as required, I told them I had a CCW and was armed. Everything was cordial up to that point. They then slammed me to the ground. Both were on me and one was reaching for my holster to get the gun. I screamed it was loaded and ready to fire. I really didn’t want to get shot with my own Glock. They detained me almost and hour and had to let me go because everything was legal.
I am growing more & more sick & tire of the liberal bull crap! It is they the liberals who have committed mass murder in our nation, allowed for the genocide of our infants, & now for the out right breaking of law/s ! And it will be the cleansing of liberals from this land/s when the lead starts to fly! For liberals are a plague upon our land/s!!
Yes that is an interesting photo that I haven’t seen.
Dude looks dead already there.
I just ran across this judge’s two videos. The first one is actually below the one you will see first. God bless this woman. She has most likely turned many a wayward teen toward something better:

That's murder. Police apologists can spin it any way they want. I saw what I saw. Guy gets pinned to the ground, and a cop casually draws his weapon and shots him in the chest.
Not justifiable. I don't care what color anyone is. The cops f---ed up.
A totally uncalled for escalation. That's all cops do nowadays: look for an excuse to escalate things, and then try to justify their use of deadly force based on the escalation.
What was this guy's crime again?
Maybe when some law abiding concealed carriers get shot the same way, and they will, then People will understand that there's a problem here.
This shooting was not justified. The guy was not any kind of lethal threat.
Cop just pulls out his gun and kills the guy while he's pinned to the ground without the use of his arms.
We don't need cops who just kill people when things get a little squirrelly.
No way, no how is this proper procedure in the United States of America. It looks like the kind of thing that would happen in a police state.
There's just no proportionality anymore. It's all about escalation, and then blaming everyone but the cop once their escalation reaches its logical conclusion.
I saw the video. I think the perp was trying to reach for his gun but with both holding him, it looked like an execution. I rhink here there was a lapse of judgment.
I would surmise these officers were going to pat him down, he resisted that, it turned into an arrest situation, he resisted that as well.
They got him down on the ground to get him into position for non-compliant handcuffing. He resisted that. The officer straddling him felt the weapon and/or Sterling was reaching for the pocket the weapon was suspected to be in, an overt action that demanded an overt response.
Those officers gave him an opportunity to save his own life. He chose not to. Adult decisions have adult consequences.
With this new video, it can’t be said they planted the gun, or didn’t have cameras on, both of which can be seen dangling off of them.
Good shoot. CVS pays the tab.
“U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is leading an investigation into what happened” and after what we have seen and heard from the US Justice department in the last week would any “reasonable” person believe anything they say?
They did some serious editing of that video. Something happens between the time the cop’s on top of him and then on the ground shooting him. Probably the guy had a surge of energy and threw the cop off... maybe went for his gun... who knows.
I know this is a bad name around here but this shows that the videos posted on this shooting were deliberately held back by SJW who responded to the scene via police scanner looking exactly for this kind of thing.
Fair and objective are impossibilities for these people.
