He was committing a crime when he died you dipshit

Sterling died breaking the law, these officers died defending the law

Yep. Obama is praying for Martial Law so he can stay in office. He will go down as the worst POTUS in history. He is part of the problem.

Alton Sterling was a drug dealer who resisted arrested while being illegally armed and was justifiable killed by police
According to the ticker I read today, he was a 37yo male who was wrestled to the ground and shot to death by two white cops.
No mention of his resisting arrest or gun in pocket or the reason the cops were there in the first place.

If sterling had just put his hands up he would not have been shot. And today would not have happened.
As you said:

One was an all out assault by a military trained individual who killed multiple people with an AR15. He targeted multiple people and was looking to kill as many cops as he could.
The other involved police subduing a dangerous child molester who ALSO had been tased prior and ALSO had priors involving violence toward police.
In order for this to be similar, a police officer would have to go up on a group of people and start shooting with an assault rifle (which they don't have).
Even if you think the cops were not justified in the Sterling thing, you have to see a difference between the two.

He he is clearly continually trying to get his arms loose, the cop on top warms him to stop, warns the other cop he has a gun, and right before sterling is shot he gets his right hand free and it disappears under the car, the cop screams hes goingfor the gun and shoots. later in the video the gun is taken from the pocket on that side.

We don't. But in the video he showed he was resisting. Now here is something I doubt you know. Sterling was carrying and it would have been strike 3 against him. It would have meant a life sentence for being a habitual offender. Again, the police were called because someone called saying a man was waving a gun.

Agreed. To make it more ridiculous just look at the hands up don't shoot propaganda tgey swallowed whole

We live in a society that cannot view any situation objectively. The media and people on social media lend credence to some of the most ignorant conclusions applicable to many of these situations.
Life is easier when you can blame somebody else for all of your deficiencies.

Some people are just total dumbasses...the BLM supporters aren't very bright. They can't even find a case worth getting bent out of shape about.

Even that one is starting to get iffy. He wasn't pulled over a busted taillight, he was a suspect in an armed robbery. And in the video, you can see a pistol sitting on his left thigh.

Dwade, Bron, Chris Paul, and Carmelo was very hurt by the death of Sterling.

I don't know what the line is as far what cops are willing cover ups. I just know that past history says that if they want they can get away with basically anything.
