In the report dated May 29, 2009, the officer said he was dispatched to a convenience store after getting a complaint about a subject "on the corner selling CDs" and that the subject had pulled a gun on someone.
According to the officer's report, when he arrived at the store, he spotted the suspect, whom he later identified as Sterling, carrying a crate of CDs.
The officer asked Sterling to put his hand on the hood of his police car and asked if Sterling had any weapons on him. The report says Sterling did "not answer" and, as the officer continued to pat him down, Sterling started reaching for his pocket.
The officer went on to say in the report that Sterling suddenly spun around and the two began to struggle. The officer and Sterling hit the ground. The officer said he was able to call for backup as Sterling tried to push him off.
"While wrestling with this subject on the ground, a black semi-auto hand gun fell from this subject's waist band at this time," the report states.

Who was the brilliant judge who, after considering the facts, granted his parole?
Parole boards (not judges) determine whether parole is to be granted.
He had a helluva lot more than that in his past. Here are the total charges against this fine, upstanding citizen:

This can’t be true. BLM said so.
Even a cat has only 9 lives. I guess his ‘parole by date’ was up.
at last, gets what he deserves.
Why protest his death?
This is the behavior that 0bama defends? {spit}
It looks like the LAW went EASY ON HIM in the past ....TOO EASY.
At what point can victims and cops sue the jurisdictions that turn these wild animals loose on the public? While they let them out to “save money”, this POS sired 5 bastards while he sells CDs for cash.
These are the “martyrs” BLM has to defend...their lives only matter to their victims (in this case, the cops).
“Had he not been paroled, he would be alive now. “
But probably not for long.
Understand he is in an area where a W-2 probably hasn’t been filed since the last WASP left decades ago; he is hardly unique, and many of those protesting are of the same stripe.
Was he paroled because somebody like Obungo claimed there were too many black men in prison?
No matter the list of charges, the American people will always believe in the sterling character of Alton Sterling. They saw it on TV.
Judge may have been responding to the community’s need for a secondary CD market.
were the cd’s legal or pirated, inquiring minds want to know...
“Felon in possession of a firearm – dismissed (May 29, 2009)”
My biggest gripe about gun laws. Let’s enforce the existing ones before making new ones.
The reason for creating new gun laws is to find new ways to take guns away from conservatives. They have no intention or will to take them away from thugs and felons.
