A day after a video captured white officers pinning down and shooting a black man 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.

You know what’s sad? There was little 21 year old white girl who managed a Raising Cane’s restaurant in New Orleans. 3 black guys robbed, her and stabbed her to death and not a peep on any of the news channels. This happened last week.

See post 20. I am relaying what I was told. Sterling was carrying a small caliber handgun that was discharged first and then the LEOs with there loud .40 calibers followed up.

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?

Yeah, the black on white attacks happen nearly everyday. This is why the old media is our enemy. In fact, our #1 enemy.

Black on White crime is not to be discussed in Obama’s Amerika comrade. Especially murders.

Off to the camps for you.

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.

The dead man had a reported 19 criminal arrests and some jail time. THIS NEEDS MORE DETAILS.

COPs may have known who he was. NEED MORE INFOR.

Store owner called the cops on Sterling for reportedly starting trouble. First report. NEEDS ACCURATE UPDATING.

Baton Rough NAACP; Leader is an outright demagogue, rabble rouser. HE NEEDS TO SHUT UP UNTIL ALL THE FACTS ARE IN.

GUN: At least one news station in DC said Sterling had a gun. Where it was and did he try to use it NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED.

Huffington Post; Yellow journalism at its worse and getting worse. Arianne Huffington should be ashamed of herself for publishing inflammatory columns like this before all the key information is in.

Now it has the FBI and DOJ getting involved in the investigation. After Comey’s sell-out on Hillary, do you think you can trust the FBI to be competent, and since they work under the Lynch/Holder DOJ, do you think both can be unbiased and objective?

If you answer NO to either of these, then you are in the right ball-park.

Sadly this is a DOJ scheme to delegitimize the police and the make black criminals into innocent victims of police brutality.

Just look at who is saying what and doing what. It is truly a LYNCH MOB.

I’m all for good policing but today cops, especially white ones, are in the sights of the Marxist Dream Defenders, Black Lives Matter, the racist NAACP, and the Marxist Congressional Black Caucus.

Justice is supposed to be color blind, equal for all no matter the color of their skin, religion, or ethnic originals. The Obama regime has stuck a stick in Lady Liberty’s eyes, blinding her and substituting the pronouncements of a handful of black extremists and Marxist as the “truth” instead of having professional investigations.

Don’t believe me? Remember what Obama said about the police and Prof. Gates at Cambridge, yet it was the arresting white police officer who helped Gates walk down some steps while fearless leader O ignored his need for support and walked ahead like some imperial emperor.

The same for the incredibly racially biased speak that Baltimore City DA Mosby gave to an almost all black crowd (with some white Marxists from PPA mixed in), about the Michael Grey case. Not “Justice” for all, but “justice for Michael Grey”.

New York City is down the toilet on real law enforcement due to the election of commie Mayor DeBlasio (not his real name) and the Marxist led City Council and various “commissions”.

California - forget it. Even Karl Marx is jealous of them and their totalitarian government(s).

Philadelphia - another leftist craphole, led by crooks and racists.

Etc, etc, etc.

Real justice is becoming more of a memory than a reality thanks to the Comrade in Chief and his appointments of anti-American, racist advisors and high level department/agency leaders.

I’ve been stopped twice in my car when I had a visible handgun. I did not get a ticket. One gun was on the console and one was seen when I opened the glovebox. The highway patrol officer never made a comment either time. I was not in CA. I am sorry you went thru your ordeal.

NBC led with it tonight because, you know, there’s no other news in this election year...

You know exactly why they led with this issue.

We peasants only need to know the really important news, like this episode of white cops “executing” another black man.

Nevermind the Somali’s threatening rape and mayhem in Minneapolis against Whites, nevermind Islamic maniacs killing Americans by the dozens, don’t even bother talking about the massive rapes by “refugees”.

He was a felon with multiple crimes including sex offenses with minors. They were probably arresting him because he had multiple warrants and he reached for his gun.

When? Sterling didn't shoot in the video,

Multiple shots are heard in the video, in quick succession. There's no way to tell that Sterling didn't fire, based on that video.
