While speaking of...

If Alton didn't stop resisting when the cop near his head had a gun drawn and pointed point blank at his chest area, and told him "Don't move!! I swear MF'er"...

When exactly do you think he was going to succumb?

Resisting arrest does NOT justify deadly force. Resisting arrest does justify additional charges for resisting arrest (which is not punishable by death - even after due process has been completed).

The guy may well have been a TPOS, but the ONLY justification for lethal force would be if Sterling pulled his gun. 2009's arrest means absolutely nothing when determining if Sterling pulled his gun.
