New video of Alton Sterling shooting

Sterling family attorney: This can't continue

Baton Rouge police officer who shot Alton Sterling fired; videos released
A second officer, Howie Lake II, was suspended for three days without pay for losing his temper during the incident.
And for the first time since the shooting, members of Sterling's family were able to watch several graphic videos of the deadly confrontation.
"Today was a troubling day, it was a sad day, but it was a day for truth," L. Chris Stewart, an attorney for the family, told reporters. "Truth that we don't really see too often."
[paste:font size="4"]Videos show deadly encounter
As Baton Rouge police Chief Murphy Paul announced the disciplinary actions against the officers Friday, the department released new videos showing the incident that unfolded as police responded to a 911 call of a man with a gun at a convenience store.
Surveillance video from the Triple S Convenience store shows Sterling selling DVDs outside and packing up his goods as Lake arrives and confronts him.
When Salamoni arrives to help Lake, he pulls his gun seconds later, according to his body camera video. Ten seconds into the video, as Sterling questions why the officers are trying to detain him, Salamoni shouts, "Don't f----- move or I'll shoot your f---- a--. Put your f------ hands on the car."

How five videos captured the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling
Video from Lake's body camera shows the officer approaching Sterling, trying to get him to put his hands on the hood of a car, and eventually struggling with him on the ground. During the altercation, another person, presumably Salamoni, screams, "He's got a gun!" and soon thereafter gunshots are heard.
When the officers get up, Sterling is lying on the ground outside the front door of the convenience store with a blood-soaked red shirt.
A gun is not visible in the video, but Lake tells another officer he put it in his car. The officers had been responding to a call from a homeless man who said Sterling showed him a weapon after he approached Sterling for money.
Police have said a .38-caliber handgun was found at the scene.
Less than 90 seconds passed from the moment when Lake first approached Sterling to the firing of the final shot, according to a Department of Justice report of the July 5, 2016, shooting.
The four videos released Friday include the convenience store surveillance video as well as two police-worn body camera videos and a video recorded by the dashboard camera in one of the police cars.
Two bystander videos released not long after the 2016 shooting had captured the final part of Sterling's struggle with the two white officers.
Family attorney says Sterling was not violent

enough evidence to warrant civil rights charges against them.

Fired officer in Sterling case plans to appeal 01:44
The two officers had separate closed-door disciplinary hearings Thursday. Salamoni chose not to answer any questions, and Lake answered every question, Paul said.
Salamoni will appeal, according to his attorney, John McLindon.
"Blane understands that he's not going to be a Baton Rouge police officer again," McLindon said. "He wants to more or less clear his name and have a higher authority say what he did was consistent with your training and the law."
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that both officers violated use of force policies. Blane Salamoni was fired for violating use of force policies. Howie Lake II was cited for losing his temper.

Can't blame the police. Violent crime is spiralling out of control in america and something drastic needs to be done. The biggest perpetrators of violent crime in america are blacks. Black criminals have murdered countless innocents with impunity and this must be ended no matter the cost.

Your comments oozes your disgusting racist mentality. This guy, as can be seen in the video was fully cooperating with police but they killed him by shooting his 6 times from the back while he was down on the bonnet of the car.

The only racism is from blacks killing 1000s of innocent White American citizens and committing horrific violent crimes. Whenever someone tries to stop them, it's called "racism"...........

All cases seems to be very petty and seems police just offloaded all pending cases on him. BTW none of offences you mentioned involves violence, let alone murder...so mate you're a bit paranoid by the innocuous petty criminal like of which USA's capitalist produces in millions due to corruption and non-uniform distribution of the wealth.

So being a sex offender is not a big crime? Carrying weapons and intimidating people is okay?

Mate, I have lived in USA and I know blacks are criminals but same goes for all other communities as well. Only the privileged people are the white descendants of the Europeans i.e. Caucasians.
