If there was no video of the Alton Sterling incident, would there be outrage?

Think about it.

There have been multiple other fatal shootings by law enforcement that have brought forth zero reaction from the black community. No video.

Everything is focused on a felon who refused to comply and in turn lost his life.

When the cops shot a known felon who tried to hit them with a truck while conducting an investigation, who then fled and struck and killed a child, were there protests?

It would be much worse. Some "witness" would have made up a really horrid story. MSM would make it gospel.

Sometimes Police work is just ugly in nature. Does not mean the Officers are wrong in those instances, just means putting a live image to something can be shocking. It should also bring light to how quickly things can sometimes go to crap.

A repeat felon did not obey the laws set before him. He's dead because of his actions that night.

Why are we rehashing this over and over?

When a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, do black people get mad?

If poison goes bad, does that mean it's good for you?

Some coloreds want a reason to be mad. Video affords them a much quicker avenue to madness than logical thought and reasoning. It's the jump-to-conclusion syndrome.

Tonight was the 1-year anniversary of the BLM shooting in Dallas.

Shocking how white people didn't have a march or throw some kind of bullshite fit about it where they destroyed businesses or property.

I don't think so. The video was the accelerant that turned the spark into a blaze. It hit the 24 hour news cycle at the same time as a couple other incidents and mobilized the national organizations like blm to get involved.

Lmao, if there was no video they would have said the officers pinned him to a cross and shot him.

Doubtful. Just another lifelong habitual criminal shot by the po po while trying to shoot them. His family certainly seemed disinterested in him until someone told them they could make more money off the publicity than off selling his gold toofasusses

Well at least it took us centuries to destroy shite now if we look at the other race not mentioned what happens when the unmentioned moves into places. It only takes a couple months

Yes of course. I don't think the video makes much difference here. You can't really see what's going on anyway once they fall to the ground.

It would have been just like mike brown. The narrative would have been full with lies (well more lies than already)

Some 'witness' would probably make up a story that would lead to the slogan "hands up. Don't shoot.".
