Blaine Salamoni, the dirty cop who shot Alton Sterling is fired out the cannon. |
As the state of Louisiana decided to not indict the two officers involved in the shooting death of Alton Sterling, we finally get a view of their body cameras.
The body camera images show that the arresting officer Blaine Salamoni was the one who fired his service weapon on Sterling.
Murphy Paul decided to fire dirty cop who shot Alton Sterling. |
This situation turned quickly violent.
Sterling was quickly approached by Salamoni and Howie Lake II. He was ordered to turn around without even being greeted.
Salamoni immediately threatened Sterling.
The cop decided to man handle Sterling. He said Salamoni was hurting him.
The cop tossed him on the hood of a car and Lake was ordered to use the Taser. As the Taser was fired on him, Sterling hits the ground. Then they both rough up and one yelled a gun. Then within two seconds, Salamoni shoots him.
Salamoni is then heard saying explicitly at Sterling, they didn't even radio for a medic.
Now that the video was release, it certainly will rile up Sterling's family and Baton Rouge residents.
Alton Sterling memory will not be forgotten. |
Salamoni can appeal the decision. Lake was iced without pay for three days. He will likely be on desk duty until he is fired out the cannon at a later date.
The federal government will not take up the case. The White House has decided this was a local matter. Donald J. Trump vocally expressed that they should be a little rough on suspects. See This would be ignored by Trump. The suspect didn't kill the cops. He was an unarmed Black man. Yeah, he had a gun, but he did not point it at them nor threaten them.
How rough, you may ask?
This is frustrating. How can police managed to get away with murder?
There is clear evidence and yet no indictments. No convictions. Just a shuffling of the chairs and a hefty payout. Alton Sterling should he alive. The city of Baton Rouge let him down.
