This guy does a good job explaining the situation. There is a video on this somewhere, but this pretty much sums it up.

if you think that's crazy, allow me to blow your mind
twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and #BLM professional activist Deray McKesson are gay lovers
do you think twitter may be slightly biased toward the BLM movement?

It's disturbing to you that someone who made their fortune on tech and is probably a raging liberal made a very generic comment on a platform they own?
"Disturbing" is twitter and facebook removing comments they don't agree with, which aparently has happened. Your OP on the other hand is called free speech.

That would explain it

How do you reconcile this:

You're doing the very thing you are condemning.

Private business. I don't use Twitter.

Okay, this guy had a criminal record right? He was going to jail .. Lets forget about that part for a second, the police tasered him twice and he didn't go down, he was going down fighting.
The police had a very good idea he was armed, if you watch the video really close, you can see his arm, which was under the car, moving towards his pocket. It just so happened to be the pocket his gun was in. He was a threat to police. Even if you think it wasn't justified, then it could have all been avoided if he would have not resisted arrest. When you resist arrest, especially if the police have a pretty good idea you have a gun, you are putting yourself in a situation for something to happen to you.
What is so hard to understand about this? If you were a policeman in that particular situation please tell me how you would have handled it. I have said before, there have been times when the police were clearly in the wrong, this is not one of them, but again, please tell me how you would have handled this situation.

Yes. Relevance?

This is what puzzles me. They were supposedly called to the scene because Sterling was threatening people with a gun. Why then when he was on the ground were they so shocked that he had a gun? "He's got a gun!"

What an asinine argument. I'm not a cop and haven't volunteered to put myself in the line of fire or undergone rigorous training for such situations, so I have no clue how to answer your question. My only point is that the video we've seen isn't exactly conclusive. Yet you seem pretty certain it is. You're doing exactly what the people who spring to make Sterling (a POS, I will add) a martyr are doing.

It's almost as if the OP sees an implicit connection between these two thoughts. I don't have a calculator to be exact, but it does seem like a pretty obvious conclusion he is drawing here.

What I am saying is that, the police shot him out of self-defense. Did they not? In the video you can hear one of the police yell "he got a gun". Either way, he was resisting arrest. Sterling didn't put himself in the best situation and I don't agree with the fact people discuss this situation as if the police just shot him for selling CDs (which is illegal).
Are you saying I don't have the full details on this?
Well, I am basing my opinion on this.

Twitter is a haven for SJWs that like to express their feelings in 140 characters or less

I don't know. I don't buy that they went out looking to kill a black person and chose him, but they very well could have over-reached or they may have been justified. I think we all know they won't be prosecuted or convicted of anything, though.

Why was this such a surprise to them when they were called to the scene for this very reason? Again, I'm not jumping to conclusions. I just have questions.

Haven't seen anyone in this thread or any thread on this site throw this weak argument out there. Anyone making this argument is an idiot and should be called as such.

Then OP should address the censorship of counter viewpoints on these platforms which have become the standards of communication, not act like its some shocking revelation that liberals say liberal things. The two issues may be related, but one is drastically more newsworthy, unethical, and impactful than the other.

They are insulated from the negative effects of the policies they advocate/pay for. They get power, money, friends, and a feeling of superiority from being on the "right" side of things.
Ask yourself what the culturally powerful people of 1930s Germany did to stop Hitler. People in these circles don't go against the stream.

Ah yes everyone is going to show their arse when the facts of this case come out and Sterling was in fact threatening people at the store with a gun before the cops showed up.

Those officers with 10+ years of operational experience just decided it was finally time for a point blank execution I'm sure, with people filming.
Forget the angle that shows the fear in the officers voice and when the other officer is losing control of sterlings other hand while he has a gun in his pocket. The officers could have been stronger and more athletic sure, but they clearly weren't in control and would rather return to their families than see if they win the wrestling match with a felon (100+ lbs) with a firearm resisting arrest. Who wasn't affected by multiple taser attempts first mind you. They were called out their in the first place bc Alton was threatening to shoot someone (he obviously didn't think other black lives mattered)
If I "pulled a quarter from behind your ear" do you have indisputable video evidence there wasn't actually a quarter behind your ear. Or is it just pretty fricking obvious what's going on.

And?
Please inform us all as to how a cop is supposed to handle a suspect who is resisting arrest? A suspect who has been tased twice and is still resisting arrest?
Have you ever seen the videos of policemen working a routine stop when in an instance the suspect pulls out a gun and starts firing? It all happens in an instance.
