Alton Sterling
 

Tired of reading and seeing this. Tired of of the garbage people think is important. Tired of trying to explain it.

This is how the world is today, and it's out of control.

I shouldn't have watched the video, but I did. Cried.

One of almost 600 police casualties in 2016.

This is where we should be raging. This is what real prejudice looks like.

It's always been this way. It's still this bad. Orlando was terrible, but everyone agrees it was terrible. The shot the gunman dead.

These cops aren't even in custody. Their body cameras "fell off", and they're on leave.

The murdering racist "goodguys" are on leave.

We'll see how it goes, and the Justice Department is already involved. But Louisiana is a very backwards state, unfortunately.

Heartbreaking. Disgusting. Outrageous.

holy ****.

I can't believe no ones talking about this.

I get why some people may disagree over whether one particular shooting was murder or not, but these crimes happen literally every week in America now, if not every day. Every week.

Innocent minority shot by law enforcement. Or minority engaged in unlawful conduct but conduct that does not justify lethal force. "Criminal" or "crime" does not adequately convey the scope. Malicious executions.

And yet, nothing happens. No tidal wave of reform or protesting outcry, just local protests, months later a trial, officers go on their merry way...

I've been following it and I've yet to see a shred of evidence pointing to this being in any way justifiable.

Another, perhaps even more egregious, similar incident happened in MN last night. http://reason.com/blog/2016/07/07/police-in-minnesota

What the ****!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the ****!!!!!!!!!!!!

These Police officers needs to be set an example off, this happens way too often in America. One would think trigger-happy racists would have been weeded out, but no. They don't even get a slap on their wrist when doing this ****, they should be jailed for being the murderous trash they are.

Has the NRA made a statement?
I've been offline for the last few hours, curious as to whether they've maintained their silence.

I believe the unions play a large part in preventing action being taken against racist police officers...

Not a peep. They're more worried about Matt Damon's opinion on gun control. Hollywood lefty who is pro- gun control, shocker.

Silence from good old Donald too. He'll eventually say something horrendous, but not until he finds a way to make it about himself.

When it comes to the murder of Castile in Minnesota. NRA should come with a statement that they don't condone the killing of a person that had a concealed carry-permit that didn't do anything threatening with the weapon.

But that's not gonna happen.

Really makes me sick. I don't often get disgusted by things but this makes my stomach turn.

I can't get over how little coverage this is getting. Two murders by cops in 48 hours, and no real outrage. There really are two Americas.

What are you using to define coverage, because the places I frequent have rightly been taking about very little else.

I haven't seen much coverage besides the things my friends are posting.

This type of **** is disgusting, and the people who say, "All lives matter." are just as disgusting as well.

People are getting slaughtered every goddamn day. Not because they're threatening the cops, not because they're putting others in danger... No, because of the color of the skin. Because the world has generalized black people as dangerous. It's disgusting.

But the part that really got to me? I watched the grotesque and graphic video of his murder, got a little nauseous, but that was it. But then I watched the video of his family speaking out. How his son was bawling because he's never going to be able to see his dad again. That's what sickens me; these people have families, and these trigger happy cops take fathers and mothers away from sons and daughters, brothers from sisters, etc. And the frequency of this makes it so, so much worse.

My city is covering it pretty well; morning and afternoon radio, both discussing it. Not that there's much new to say...

Racist police officers getting off scotfree because unions.
