19 people killed this month, why so much attention to just these 2? Did you research the other 17, or you just paying attention to what the media wants you to know?Does any of this argument justify what happened to these two men?
Because Sterling was pointing his gun at a patron, he refused the police orders to get down, he was tazed, and he had an illegal fire arm in his pocket, one of the cops yelled he has a gun, we can't see his arm while he's resisting, and I still don't know if the cop was in the right, but I'm damn sure not willing to call it murder at this point.
As for the Minnesota shooting, I don't know if the cop was justified or not, it appears MUCH worse than Baton Rouge. Then again all we have is the aftermath with a lady filming while her boyfriend is dying and a child in the backseat, how quickly we forget the hands up don't shoot garbage that Brown's buddy ran, and told the media right afterwards. It was a lie, so maybe before anyone gets their panties in a wad, maybe we should let due diligence play out.
The Purge...beginning in the Fall 2020.I don't care which side of the fence you are on politically. I have been alive for almost 40 yrs and I can never remember any time as polarizing as now. Nothing even remotely close. Didn't live thru the 60's or 70's so maybe it was worse then. I know that was a critical period of unrest in our history. But it is scary how divided this country is. Politics aside this is how things deteriorate into anarchy.
"pig" flesh per a handful of posters in the other thread.Looks like you guys will get your pound of flesh tonight. Congrats.
This is why police need to engage in what's called community policing. The same cops work the same neighborhoods at all times, therefore they know that community. Therefore a report goes from "large African American in red behaving violently in front of store front", goes to "just got a call that Sterling the guy who always sells CDs out in front Shop Mart may be causing commotion. I know him and Jim the shop mart owner know each other bc he's always there, so I better see what's up"So the Louisiana store owner says Sterling had permission to be where he was at and had been working that same spot for a long time. He says the cops were too aggressive from the very start and the gun was still in Sterling's pocket after he died which is supported by video. If some posters here are honest people they have a lot of crow to eat.

Now who is creating a story to their liking? How do you know the call wasn't from someone who had a beef about the price of CD's. You've descended into that which in earlier threads you alleged. You simply created a story to suit your desire.The Cops didn't show up because he was in front of the store, they were called because he had pointed a gun at a guy.

What did I create?As did you. Now which is more likely?
Stop being hysterical. Show us where I have ever suggested as much.So you think it's unreasonable for the police to show up after they were called to the scene where a man was pointing a gun?

This is a useless argument. People here are trying to excuse murder. A black man is pinned to the ground by two cops after being tased then weapons are drawn and he is shot to death all caught on video and backed up by witnesses and the property owner who is not black. With such outlandish twisting of reality it's easier to see hate/racism being the source those views than to defend those two cops. I've wasted enough time here.

The guy had a rap sheet with 16 arrest or run-ins, including resisting arrest, assault.
Whats the more likely reason, the man that we do know had a gun on him had tried to pull that gun, or the cop just didn't like blacks?
if he'd been beaten by cops for no real reason before, the likelihood is that he'd have been charged with resisting arrest and/or agg assault. you should keep that in mind next time you see a civilian's swollen face after a run-in with the police
pretty comical how your stance is 'oh we can't draw any conclusions', yet choose to blame sterling based on his rap sheet
literally every thread on a topic like this elicits multiple pages of despicable, archaic white supremacist nonsense

What is white supremacist on here?
yeah how fanciful to think that a white louisiana cop might be racist
give me a break
I understand you have poor reading comprehension or you would have quoted my entire post.
yeah that's how reading comprehension is evaluated
you actually posted 'go back to africa' and are subhuman racist detritus
