re: A settled Alton Sterling fact that many people are oblivious to

911 call is made about a black man in a red shirt wielding a gun at a convenience store.

Police apprehend a black man in a red shirt at the convenience store.

Police yell in panic, "He's got a GUN!"

Video shows police remove something from man's pocket, and it's the size of a gun.

Pro-Sterling person who filmed the video says it in fact was a gun.


I get that you can't see it completely in the video, but yeah, I would call denial of the presence of a gun as being obtuse. I understand waiting for the results on everything else. And I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but this really doesn't feel like a jump at all. Now saying he reached for it is a jump
