his record alone is good enough reason not to give him the "benefit of the doubt" when he is not complying.
Sterling is anything but a "neighborhood CD man" or a martyr. He's a career criminal, a pedophile, and a sorry excuse for a human being that should've never been on our streets to begin with.

Do you think the public will ever

I don't believe we will for two reasons:

1)Cops don't want to appear to be taking a "defensive" stand by saying he was a known dealer it would likely lead to more violence. People were already defending his "criminal past" when his arrest history made the news. 2)Would knowing that change any of the perception that this was "race" related?

People are going to sit on whatever side of the fence they are already on. I don't think anyone who is protesting his death is going to be swayed to take a different position on the subject based on his criminal activity.
