Show me evidence that when he was executed he was brandishing a gun. Show it to me. I'm not defending Sterling's life choices. I am defending his right to not be shot five times in police custody. He was on the ground with two cops on him. They didn't have to shoot him. They didn't have to do it but they did. It's all there. Nothing else matters. That he is a thug or a criminal, none of it matters. NO ONE deserves to be executed by the police when they are in their custody.


You have a problem with comprehension? With what I see the cops look in the wrong. But I am going to give a cop the benefit of my doubt until I get their side and see ALL of the available evidence.

See my earlier post. I am willing to hear the cops' rationale and see if it means a lesser charge. But the video shows the following facts:

The victim was on his back
The victim was held down by police
The victim was shot 5 times at close range
The victim died as a result.

It's a crime. Now we are just waiting to see if there are mitigating facts to not call it first degree murder.
