Cop Walk In The Alton Sterling Shooting!

No justice for Alton Sterling.

Why am I not surprised?

The Attorney General of Louisiana announced today that he will not charge two cops in the death of Alton Sterling. His death sparked outrage in Baton Rouge. It also sparked a terrorist to massacre three cops in the aftermath.

Remember Donald J. Trump, Republicans, the NRA, the so called Blue Lives Matter folks, Russia, Cambridge Analytica and the White extremist movement labeled the alt-right sowed discourse and support for the killer cops. They claimed that DeRay McKesson and Black Lives Matter were responsible for the deaths.

Trump is now the inept leader of this country. Tensions are higher than ever.

His "law and order" stance is sparking outrage and this Midterm could shake up things if Democrats are motivated this time to vote them out,

In 2016, Sterling was standing by a convenience store selling mixtapes. People had robbed him before and he carried a firearm on him. Well someone called the law on him after he allegedly threatened a guy.
Dirty cops walk.
Howie Lake II and Blake Salamoni arrived and questioned Sterling. The cops claimed he resisted arrest. They would slam him on the hood of the car and pin him to the ground. Soon one of the shouted, "He's got a gun."

One of the cops would say, "He's got a gun! Gun! If you fucking move, I swear to God!"

One would say, "he's going for the gun" and then they plugged him three times.

Sterling was shot in the chest and was immediately killed. The family demanded justice for Alton. They didn't get it. The two cops can now get their jobs back and back pay.

The city of Baton Rouge might have to shelved out money for personal damages.

And none of this would bring back the hundreds of men and women of color killed by law enforcement.
The image haunts me.
The National Rifle Association doesn't support Black gun ownership.

Killer Mike fucked up his career but appearing on NRAtv throwing his support to the gun lobby. He knows that if Alton Sterling or any Black man held a gun, they have a 95% chance of being killed on the spot.

Black Lives Matter hasn't went away. It is a part of a growing resistance movement towards Republicans and Democrats who support the genocide of people of color. The movement along with Time's Up and Never Again are hoping to inspire voters to turnout and put a checks and balance on Trump and Congress.

The madness must stop. Black men being killed by police is a problem. When the law couldn't kill a white school shooter in Maryland, a white school shooter in Florida and a bomber in Austin, something is wrong. When they refuse to call them terrorist there is a problem.

Alton Sterling, you may inspire people to vote. Hopefully we can vote these worthless lawmakers out of office.
