Another black man gunned down by the police. Body cameras conveniently fell off during shooting.
RIP Alton "Big Dogg" Sterling
The community is protesting and has set up a memorial in his honor.

Heard about this on the radio. I suppose the video will be key to understanding what really happened. But from what's been released so far, it seem like the cops really screwed up.Quote:

What the #*@%? Did he point the gun at them? Was he resisting?
Brutal death. Seems like more cops are getting trigger happy.
Lol what the hell is up with that fried chicken banner in the memorial?
That's probably the area outside the store where he set up his tables to sell CD's.Quote:

The the chicken special is specifically part of a fundraiser? Yes it is your theory :lol
In before the paid vacation and cleared of all wrong doing. SMDH
meh
Fucks given went down to zero when I saw that he was resisting arrest while having a gun. When I saw his rap sheet, (including being a sex offender on a juvenlie) fucks given went down to negative 50.
RIP Big Dog

sad man.
Pigs will probably walk. Sad. ACAB.
It doesn't matter if people have a record and are terrible people. There is still a process in this country that all people have the right to.
Cops have really hard jobs in moments like these, but you better be sure you are in the right if it comes to taking someone's life and you are in a position of power.
Weren't the cops called because he was threatening someone with a gun? If he had felony charges was it even legal for him to have a gun in LA? I'm on the fence on this one.Quote:
