Huh, all those interviews, and one tiny little question never asked: Did he go back in the roadway after being told that he’d be arrested if he went back off the sidewalk?

For some reason, the article just happens to skip WHERE he was arrested.

Here's a local report from the Morning Advocate. Last updated at 2 am.

Photos, videos: Alton Sterling protests in Baton Rouge on Saturday mostly peaceful, but more arrests, scuffles with police

while three are accused of inciting a riot and one is accused of battery on a police officer

Quiet BLM day. Sounds like the police were very restrained.

"he had been “flagged” and that if he left the sidewalk again he would be arrested. "

Please explain that to me. Why would he be arrested if he left the sidewalk? How could he go home without stepping off a sidewalk?

DeRay is the one that’s had the ear of AG Lynch.

Must really piss her or some people off that her last name is LYNCH.

I thought they were on the highway. I think they meant the side of the highway.

‘Activist’? What does that mean exactly? Does that denote some sort of special status?

LYNCH is an appropriate name for Obama’s AG. Obama hates African-Americans.

“He was clearly targeted.”

And? It's good tactics to target the ringleaders of mayhem - unless one is on the side of mayhem...

Cut off the head of the snake. When more heads appear, cut them off. It worked in stopping Medusa.

Ask all the Fallen Officers families and murder victims families about their life long nightmares!

April 11, 1989 my world was rocked hard and changed forever, and I still have nightmares!

As the mother of a slow developing 16 year old son by the calendar (actual physical/mental age was 12) who was ambushed on his way home from school, beaten to death with a 2 ft section of fence post less than a block from our home, by a sociopath who wanted the jollies to see what it felt like to kill, went and bragged to his friends what he’d done dragged them to the murder site he was so proud of what he’d done, watched the Police investigate, then ran when some one pointed him out, got caught, and spent 2 years going through the INJUSTICE SYSTEM, only to have M1 plea bargained with out my permission down to M2, given a very light 20 yr sentence. TEN MONTHS later I fought the first of 6 parole hearings at my expense both in health and monetary. He maxed out his not so good built into state law “good behavior time” and now walks the streets of Tennessee a free man. BTW he was a local bully and petty drug dealer to boot.

You can’t cure a sociopath.

Obama is the quintessential narcissist, so he necessarily looks down on anyone and everyone as somehow being not worthy of him. So, it may not be hate of others so much as contempt for others.

Most of FR’s readers are ACTIVISTS in some form. Some of us more so than others. For years I was a unpaid volunteer Murder Victims Activist or Advocate, woke up in the middle of the night by a distraught family member crying their eyes and hurt out; until I got to sick to do it any more.

The so called professional counselors don’t know how to deal with the after math of grief, anger, hurt, emptiness, can’t sleep for the nightmares, a murder leaves a family in or are willing to tell them about the INJUSTICE SYSTEM and how it will be a long slow process of frustration and purposely delayed trial process and appeals. Or what Death Row inmates will do to keep from being executed. All at the monetary expense of the Victims’ family, while the perp has ALL his paid for with their Tax $$.

There answer was sleeping pills and Xanax. Not talking the family through the process. Murder is not a medical or a Shrink’s text book grieving process.

Ask Mrs Faulkner who still fights for Justice for her slain Police Officer husband. Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook April 24, 1954) is a convicted murderer who was sentenced to death in 1982 for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. BTW he’s still appealing every nit picking thing and still alive and living a cushy life on Philly’s Death Row.

Difference between “the” sidewalk and “a” sidewalk.

The “police reform protest movement.”. Not the “racist black supremacy movement.”. Not the “cop-murdering lawless thug movement.”. Not the “marxist-inspired-and-funded sedition movement.”.

“Reform” and “protest” are much more palatable.

When taking McKesson into custody the two officers suffered significant bronchial distress from exposure to fairy dust.
