Was going to post this but can't confirm the source.

It definitely looks like him.

In my opinipn, from what i saw, the officers are on top pinning the man down. Alton is struggling just trying to breath and get comfortable while he is being pinned down. One officer yells he has a gun as he is able to feel it in his pants. The other officer then pulls it out and shoot Alton as when he hears "gun" he automatically assumed Alton had the gun in his hands and was soon to shoot. So under his pretense, he shot asap in order to save he and his partners lives



Did you watch the same video? Holy hell. All kinds of stupid in here. You think that he was struggling just trying to breath, based on what?

There is also a clear pause after "He's got a gun is said", and the other officer pulls out his gun after he hears this and points it at his head and tells him not to move. It wasn't at all like you said.

There's about 6 seconds between the first yell and first shot. There are at least 4 seconds between them drawing their weapons and the first shot, which they use to tell Sterling to stop moving one final time.


Yup. There is the initial gun gun he's got a gun. Lake draws and presses the gun against his chest. Lake then tells him not to fricking move. Then the shouts of he's going for the gun and the shots happen.

A person got shot here. Sad. But whether it's justified or not. A person died here. There should be no riots or protests. By anybody!!!!!!!! The dude showed TOTAL disrespect for the law with his record as well as having a gun when he wasn't supposed to. The LAW is for everyone's benefit. You break it you face what happens. It's pretty simple.

I'll sum this up. If there was a gun in Alton's right pocket, the officer will walk.

It's funny because if anyone posted a picture of some random black dude we don't know in this thread with no comment or context behind it, there would be soooooo many replies just crushing that random dude.

Make it, LF and the kid gloves come out. Pretty funny to watch play out.

Yep. I didnt even roast him either.

My exact words were

"Frustrating. I still like him as I have personally seen him do good things, but this does disappoint me"

I was just hoping this would stay away from LSU athletics. I know it was highly unlikely, before anyone says anything.

I fixed it for you.

By the way, a lot of you are miserable racist fricks who disrespect reality by swaying it toward racially biased nonsense.
