Footage taken by Triple S. Food Mart Abdullah Muflahi has surfaced courtesy of The Daily Beast, which shows an alternate angle of Alton Sterling being shot. The newly uncovered video shows Sterling wasn’t holding anything in his hands at the time of his death (which occurred shortly before paramedics arrived on the scene) but it does showcase one of the officers removing something from his pocket as he lay on the ground with blood seeping through his shirt from his chest gunshot wound.
The video can be seen below. As a fair warning, the contents are extremely graphic.
(This article was first published on July 6, 2016.)
Social media is stirring with the possibility of another Civil Rights explosion after yet another black man has died at the hands of police officers, seemingly without probable cause. Yesterday (July 5), video footage surfaced of 37-year-old Alton Sterling being tackled to the ground, pressed up against a parked car before being shot and killed by two Baton Rouge police officers.
The father of five was reportedly selling CDs outside of the Triple S. Food Mart convenience store before he was killed, according to the New York Daily News. Authorities arrived at the scene after receiving a call from an anonymous person who said he was threatened with a gun by a man who was supposedly Sterling.
In the clip, the two officers — who have yet to be identified — are shown pulling out their guns after they yell Sterling was in possession of a firearm before the camera pans down.
“He’s got a gun,” one officer exclaimed as the other threatened, “You fucking move, I swear to God.”
Afterwards, five gunshots can be heard amid the videographer’s screams and a coroner later said that Sterling was shot in the chest and back.
Store owner Abdullah Muflahi says Sterling was a father of three children and was a friend of his who he allowed to sell his merchandise outside without fear of reprimand.
“He was screaming, ‘What did I do,’ ‘What’s going on,” Muflahi told the Daily News.
“His hand was not in his pocket, nor did he have the gun in his hand,” he said, defending Sterling’s final moments.
“While he was laying there dying, the cop went inside his pocket to pull the gun out. I think they really handled it the wrong way.”
According to Muflahi, Sterling had armed himself for protection from potential thieves of his CDs and other hardware.
Muflahi also told The Advocate that he saw the incident happen and the officers initially tazed Sterling before pinning him to the ground.
Only one of the two officers seemingly fired the shots. Both have been placed on paid administrative leave.
Reports say that Sterling had previous run-ins with the law from 1996 to 2009 and pleaded guilty to battery charges and, a separate time, was sentenced to five years for marijuana charges.
Authorities have reportedly obtained footage from the store’s surveillance camera and the dash camera from the police’s vehicle, according to MS News Now. The officers did not capture the scene on their body cameras because the devices reportedly fell off in the struggle.
Police have not determined whether Sterling was in possession of a gun at the time of the shooting.
Sterling’s sister, Mignon Chambers, says that he had frequented the store for years before his tragic last day run-in with the law.
The Advocate has several character witness accounts that speak to Sterling’s nobility.
They must have beam REALLY bad CDs. Probably Grayke’s J E W S from the sticks or worse…
Their body cams fell off during the struggle. LOL. That’s a new one. I plan on hearing that excuse plenty. Listen folks, black, orange or purple, if the cops tell you to do something, DO IT. Ask “what did I do” or say “I didn’t do nothing” from the backseat of the squad car or at the police station. Seriously. You have a gun on you, and are going to try to talk to the pigs? LOL. Lay down, face down and put your hands behind your head. We all know the position…
So. This guy is HUGE. They clearly told him to get on the ground, he didn’t. They tazed him and he still didn’t go down. After taking him, they said “get on the ground” again. They then tackled dude. He probably weighs more than both of those cops combined. They then have him pinned down and he is clearly struggling, trying to get up or something. The one cup points a gun AT HIS HEAD and says “I swear to god.” The guy is still struggling around in possession of a GUN. Seriously. Nothing to see here. This guy deserves to be shot. He had plenty of chances to lay down and didn’t. Now he will never be able to get back up. Sad. This guy’s stupidity killed him, not the cops. Get as mad as you want, it’s all there in the video.
Character witness accounts? Lol. Of a convicted felon who sells CDs outside of a liquor store while armed? I would love to hear/see one of those. He was a good father? Lol. Again, a convicted felon with a firearm selling CDs (in 2016) in dront of a liquor store? GTFOH. Call Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson people…
You and whites people should die
You and whites people should die
Whites people? Lol. Hilarious. Next time you get arrested (I imagine it will be soon), please argue with the cops and don’t follow their instructions. Thanks. Society thanks you as well.
e? Lol. Hilarious. Next time you get arrested (I imagine it will be soon), please argue with the cops and don’t follow their instructions. Thanks. Society thanks you as well.
Cops are well trained never are they trained on putting guns to people heads sideways and threating them. The man didn’t listen and was tackled brung down to the ground cop couldn’t get his arm behind his back cause the guy was putting up a fight so he resorted to shooting him in the chest nothing right aboutthis don’t be stupid people law enforcement have seriously gone bad.
You forget his size, the fact he had already been tazed, and that he HAD A GUN and was struggling, dummy. Try that shit with the police, regardless of race, you will be shot. Matter of fact, anyone points a gun at you and tells you to get on the ground, and you don’t, write or wrong, you will be SHOT DEAD. Simple. Had this been a robbery and not the police people would be saying dude is an idiot for not laying down.
Do what the men pointing guns at you say to do. Or else you won’t be around to complain later!!
OK. So the cops get a call about a guy brandishing a weapon. They show up. They tel dude to get on the ground. They taze him, he still doesn’t go down. Then he tries to get up and struggle WITH A GUN TO HIS HEAD. This is not a black thing. They would have shot ANYONE in that situation. Justifiably so. These idiots above posting “I hope they destroy Baton Rouge?” GTFOH. You must be smoking crack. Anyone, cop or not points a gun at me and tells me to lay down, I lay down. I have been arrested 3 times, I have never been convicted of a crime. Had I not followed police instructions while being taken in to custody, the result would have been the same as this Gus results. The difference is, since I am Latino, no one would be saying shit. Stop all of this race baiting bullshit America. We are al the same. Cops are assholes. If you give them an excuse they will shoot you. They dream about it at night. They don’t care what race you are. We are ALL targets. Do what they say and sue afterwards.
Puts all the other stories on this site into perspective dont it.
No, it doesn’t idiot. It does not ou Hip-Hop news about MUSIC in to perspective.
You enter your name as ‘Idiot’ and you tryin to call people an idiot tho? fuckouttahere
Right Chrispy. Maybe your mom named you Chrispy, that makes sense with your attitude and spelling. My name isn’t posted on any site. Dumbshit
Daaaam ur life must suck. Im praying for you, hope you get well soon.

Iight serious tho, whites gotta kill the stickin up for this law enforcement scum, and black ppl gotta stop generalizing whites….mark my words, this divide we’re generalizing with is gunna hurt us all in the end….tthis is murder, no ifs, ands or buts….pppl r stupid….keep believing the media n police heresay…fuck this system of hate…we’re all being brainwashed….they own our brains….
Pretty ignorant generalizations there dummy. Nice spelling and grammar BTW. You are right about the fake divide, race baiting bullshit. It’s simple. Cops will kill you if you don’t obey their commands. Anywhere in the world. He resisted instead of going to jail. Well, this is the other alternative to jail.
Not in my country/my part of the world they don’t, idiot! Talk like you know and been everywhere. Btw that’s Holland/the Netherlands. You must be white.

N right, i got no response, insulting my abbreviated words, ellipses, and typos cuz my mobiles letters stick i dont find relevant….lmk when college essay format is how we comment in blogs, no other point to argue, so apparently “right….” wants to critique my grammar by keyboard while e-lips-is (he lips this) dick

Why does only 15% of the population cause 45% of the crimes in the country?
They didn’t get their reparations. Neither did the native Americans, but that’s besides the point. LOL. Sarcasm.
Hardly any alternatives and no equality! Not the same chances. Opressors will never undestand. Affraid of power loss and change. Keeping the rest down on purpose.
As if. You stupid hypocritical moron. Why is it that Asians, Hebrews, Latinos all doing OK and not bitching and moaning when one of theirs doesn’t comply to police orders, resists arrest and is shot? I am a black man, I grew up in the south side of Chicago in the 80s. I studied hard, got a scholarship and graduated from college, while everyone around me was bitching about the man, the system, opportunities etc. I worked as a bartender to pay for my living expenses and books. I refused to use affirmative action. I could have. I now own my own business, two cars and a 4000sq ft home. I am special or something? No one else can do what I magically did? Stop acting like a victim. Lazy bums. Work. No one had a chance to shoot me because I was WORKING.
For all the race baiting self segregating idiots. How about Mexican lives matter?…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TdfTcI6PaIM OR white lives matter?…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NA6QcS68Zt4 OR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=taDP1KfEmPU OR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zQTEjW3qxuY
Why does it gotta be just Mexican tho? Why can’t it be El Salvidorian? Peruvian? Spanish? Chinese? Japanese? BECAUSE IT AIN’T THE SAME GOD DAMN THING! Head butt a knife bitch
Nobody’s tryin to copy and paste those bullshit ass youtube links. fuckouttahere
Or trying to get a job, or a college education or have a sound argument for what you are trying to say…
It is the same thing idiot. It says Mexican because he is from MEXICO fucktard. The other examples are of cops shooting unarmed WHITE people, who weren’t repeat felony offenders resisting arrest. Dummy

You America a slave? Why haven’t built shit since?
to everyone saying he was resisting please tell me why is it that when a white man resists they can always manage to resolve the situation without killing him? i just watched a video online of a white man literally fighting two officers who were trying to detain him. at no time did they go for their guns. in this video the man is on the ground and they are on his arms. so you;re saying you didnt see any other way to resolve this issue but to put the gun to this mans chest and shoot him 4-6x ???? sorry but it’s all bullsh*t. they are killing BLACK men women and children and suffering no consequences. sh*t is wrong no matter how you size it up
Not true. More white men are killed by the police than black men.
Not true. More white men are killed by the police than black men.
white people die all the time from police. Only difference is, its not seen as a big deal and is not media worthy. Stop falling for the race baiting bullshit.
Cuz white people don’t run around everyday talking shit about how they wanna kill cops and shit. Everytime a cop crosses a black man, there’s a chance he’s one of the many morons who we see on the internet everyday talking bout “fuck the police”…the guy had a gun and threatened somebody with it before the cops got there, that’s why they were called. Just cuz he went into bitch mode asking “what did i do” when they got there doesn’t mean he was some innocent angel. All we hear is black people talking about how they gotta keep there eyes open cuz it’s “real out here in the hood”, and shoot first ask questions last, but they want the cops to be different. If you’re environment is dangerous, like the black community has been telling us for so long, then the cops ain’t risking their lives just like y’all don’t wanna risk yours. These hood boogers wanna be “dangerous” when it benefits them and be the victim when “keeping it real” goes wrong
Dumb race baiting POS. There is a post below of cops shooting unarmed Latinos and whites. No comments on that?
U want he facts, more white men r killed by cops cuz we take up 65% of the population, that arguments irrelevant, n the fact that more minorities are incarcerated speaks volumes, u wanna speak statistics…bring real math to the table…thats a weak argument….n im no apologist, i always treated ALL humans equal, n i aint takin on the guilt of my ancestors, nor for the overwhelming amount of closet racists being exposed, simply by agreeing wit donald trump, but i also aint gunna sit while i watch ppl gettin targetted n say n do nothin…real talk if there was a black lives matter protest in my city id b holdin a sign wit my brothers n sisters, even the ones that believe all whites r the same…all lives matter, but right now black lives r hurting….breathe ur ignorance, guess u dnt get it….hate is hate, love is love….we all human, n love is the movement, u wanna love ur kind, well white,black, tan, we got red blood n bones….so to blacklivesmatter ne others fightin for equality, i salute yall….sincerely, a lower middle class white kid
N my reply was at justthefacts not roomtoroom….roomtoroom i agree wit u…i hit the wrong reply
Why doesn’t HHDX turn off commenting for posts like these? Like we really need another fucking forum for everyone to type fight each other. Fuck you HHDX for doing this.
Please go fuck yourself. Don’t post or read. Idiot.
better start marching.
Marching in to prison I read of getting justifiably shot while resisting arrest, you mean?
Look. It’s not OK to shoot black people under any circumstances, they where slaves at one point in time, and didn’t have equal right with people who until this day they don’t care to intermingle with. It is OK to shoot anyone else for any reason. If a black person breaks in to you r home and is armed, don’t shoot him. It’s wrong, because of slavery and segregated bathrooms. Shoot all of the Mexicans, Arabs, Hebrews and Asians you want. Please go CRAZY on shooting white people. Because that is not racist. Clear now?
But where are the videos of white guys getting shot by cops in America? Or any other race? It seems to only happen to black people..
Wow. Pretty fucking stupid aren’t you. Heard of YouTube? Type in unarmed white man or unarmed Mexican shot by police. Dumbass…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TdfTcI6PaIM OR white lives matter?…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NA6QcS68Zt4 OR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=taDP1KfEmPU OR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zQTEjW3qxuY
Again, dummy. More whites are shot by police than blacks are. So blacks aren’t getting shot enough?
Y’all don’t get shot enough, to .make those claims.
People don’t care if a white person is shot and killed by the police. Think about it. Would you click on an article about a white person being shot and killed by police? Probably not.
HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY BOTH LOSE THEIR BODY CAMS??????? SOUNDS AWFUL CONVIENENT TO ME??? I HAPPEN TO BE A WHITE GIRL RAISED IN LA AND I THINK THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP. THESE CROOKED COPS ARE CAUSING MAYHAYM AND DIVISION BETWEEN RACES WHEN WE SHOULD ALL BE BANDING TOGETHER. THE COPS DOING THIS SHIT WERE THE LITTLE DORKS IN SCHOOL…SO THEY GET A GUN AND BADGE TO FEEL TOUGH AND RUN ROUGHSHED OVER ALL OF US. SMDH!! *END RANT*
Here comes some dumb white bitch from HellAye weighing in. Jesus Debbie, does this happen often in Simi Valley? A cop puts a gun to your head, you are a convicted felon with a concealed firearm on your person, what would you do? Get shot I am guessing. If the cops ever pull your soy late ass over in your BMW, please don’t obey their instructions. Do society a favor. Thanks.
Well, maybe watch the video? They tackled dude and where wrestling on the ground with him. Dummy
What else is new?
“Yesterday June5th” I’m confused
Its messed up what happened, really, it was murder. BUT its very hypocritical to talk about Cops when black people kill each other merciless EVERY DAY! HipHopDX and Rap promotes killing black people every day by giving exposure to retards like Chief Keef, Durk, etc. Its black people that are PROUD of displaying their gang murder behavior, for example, yelling CHI-RAQ! Why be proud of that? Do you really care about black lives or do you just hate white people? I think its very obvious that black people are the racists here. Stop promoting Violent behavior in your “culture” and then people wouldnt be scared of you.
My question to you is 2 fold. Do blacks go to jail for killing each other? Do whites also kill each other? Yes or no?
We @ hiphopdx are a neutral party. As a journalism site we provide you with news and happenings in the community. We are not here to promote or profit off of murder. All we do here is showcase artists and give them a platform to promote their artwork. That’s all. If you don’t like it go f_ck yourself in the as_ with a rusty crowbar.
Lol
We’re tracking this case as well as many others. Alton Sterling’s story deserves to be remembered. http://ebwiki.org/articles/alton-sterling
Yup. Another story of a stupid person, who this time actually had a gun, trying to talk back to people, police or not, who are pointing guns at him yelling instructions. If someone, anyone, points a gun at you and tells you to do something, cop or not, and you don’t do it, wxpect to get shot. Repeatedly. I am black BTW, and a OG member of Rolling Sixties Crip Gang. When MFs are going to just shoot you, they don’t say shit…

The most shocking part is that someone was still selling cds
That is hilarious AND true.
That is hilarious AND true.
If he really threatened someone with a gun then … Treat others as you want to be treated.
You know White people about to come in here defending the cops. Oops. They already beat me to it.
Go back to Africa, Black people
You built America as slaves, but can’t even build a resume as a free man.
Why? We built America along with other minorities. It’s our country as much as it’s anyone else’s.
Go back to Mexico.
Go back to Mexico.
Here go black people ready to protest. You people cant never stay still when racist cops are trying to arrest you. I hope you all destroy you neighborhoods. What a waste.
Black people like killing each other any ways. He was just helping the cause
Kimmy C is the ignorant type of White people I was talking about would show up in these type of articles. Just goes to show you they can enjoy hip-hop from Black artists but don’t give a shit about what goes on with Black people. All just for their entertainment.
@Question the problem with your thinking is this: Black are about 15% of the American Population but commint over 45% of VIOLENT crimes, murder, etc. There is seriously something wrong with that. Everybody has its criminals but black people have the most accordings to facts. People lie, numbers don’t. Blacks lives matter only when a white man kills a black man, they just hate the white man thats all.
N right, i got no response, insulting my abbreviated words, ellipses, and typos cuz my mobiles letters stick i dont find relevant….lmk when college essay format is how we comment in blogs, no other point to argue, so apparently “right….” wants to critique my grammar by keyboard while e-lips-is (he lips this) dick
now before yall atttack me im black and its always ftp. but besides treyvon and of course tamir rice! (who had toy gun but thats a discussion for black parents and knowing how others view us) I wish the black that this happend to were absolutely doing nothing (i.e.) mike brown … robs store charges police, sandra bland … high not wanting to get out of car, alton sterling (even tho legal) had gun in pocket, eric garner…. didnt dispurse when they told him leave that strip…. NOT saying the people aint bogus or that nobody has to do anything…. not even saying that people who do comply dont get killed…. just saying that I have yet to see a video where the black person complies and they get killed…. THE DAY WE GET THAT VIDEO IS THE DAY SHIT WILL START TO CHANGE FOR US!!!!!
What about the guy who was at the gas station and the cop told him to get his license and registration, then when he reached into his vehicle for it,the cop shoots him like 2 or 3 times??
What about the guy who was at the gas station and the cop told him to get his license and registration, then when he reached into his vehicle for it,the cop shoots him like 2 or 3 times??
cops are trained to act quick or they die. that dude fucked up and made a fast sudden movement…NEVER DO THAT OR COPS WILL PANIC AND SHOOT YOU> he paid for it
You’re a koon
Actually the person didn’t make a sudden move and the cop had ordered him to retrieve those items for him knowing full well that the items were located in the car. That killing was completely unjustified and the cop should have been less trigger ready.
Can’t defend the cops here no matter who you are…..as a white male (who has had little or no interaction with cops) and usually will take their word until im given reason to otherwise these two dudes should be charged with murder.
The guy may have had a gun in his pocket but from what I saw, he was lying on his front being pinned down and then shot. I don’t know why he was shot. I live in England and it seems to me that some police shoot first ask questions last. This has to addressed are the police being trained properly?
Land of the free and home to the brave? Not yet can those words be said while a minority of US citizens are being killed regularly.
Yes, shooting first and asking questions last how you shoot before you get shot yourself. Oh wait….no, they DIDN’T shoot first, they shot last. After trying to get him to cooperate, and warning him to stop moving when his right hand was free and a gun was in his right pocket. It BAFFLES me how people can think like you and say “shoot first ask questions last”, did you even watch the footage. I get that it’s an expression. But sorry, it’s not even accurate or applicable to the situation. Can you people please start having a critical eye and critical mind instead of “thinking” with your feels.
Let’s be real, this was an ultra disturbing video. I’ve seen worse videos of death but seeing someone die this way is just upsetting. What about his kids? His family, they are the ones who have to live with this tragedy. Maybe he could have handled it a bit better but someone please tell how you can comply to officers tossing you around and restraining and tasing you to the point that you feel your life may be in danger. That cop that shot him even threatened him before he shot. How can anyone be rational in that situation. That cop straight up murdered him and I pray that the family gets justice for it.
I feel bad for his kids…but trust me. Lawyers in Baton Rouge are foaming at the mouth and ready for this case. His baby mama is about to get paid and she knows it.
Facts….but $$ aint gunna bring her manz back….i get where ur comin from…i hate to say this, but its gunna take a watts riots type situation on a larger scale for anything to come of this.. i mean im not for violence but the silence is deafening…it got my mind twisted up cuz obama brings kendrick to perform at his daughters bday, calls one of his songs best of the year,and most revolutionary album in ges, yet hasnt even done a thing to help that i kno of, cuz the elite playin him like a marionette…if the ppl dnt rise, its doomed

He did have a gun. It was photo shop/edited out the final cut. Its already been posted on media sites
I would say that shits getting out of hand, but who am I kidding? It’s just getting worse and worse. And Rosenberg had a strong point when he stated that the reason we don’t care for cops is bc they don’t hold each other accountable and call corrupt cops out with justified labels like ‘murderer’ and ‘killer.’ I’m angry and upset. I feel sad for Alton Sterling, his family and friends. Condolences go out to them. So what happens if I’m stopped, harassed and attacked? We need an entity to police the police. And thank goodness for modern technology. What if it wasn’t captured at all? The “cop cams” on these guilty officers were not on. That’s a dead giveaway for dirty business being conducted. I pray for the victim, his family, his friends, for all of us minorities targeted.
Convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Anyone saying anything about that?
Why is it that Asians, Hebrews, Latinos all doing OK and not bitching and moaning when one of theirs doesn’t comply to police orders, resists arrest and is shot? I am a black man, I grew up in the south side of Chicago in the 80s. I studied hard, got a scholarship and graduated from college, while everyone around me was bitching about the man, the system, opportunities etc. I worked as a bartender to pay for my living expenses and books. I refused to use affirmative action. I could have. I now own my own business, two cars and a 4000sq ft home. I am special or something? No one else can do what I magically did? Stop acting like a victim. Lazy bums. Work. No one had a chance to shoot me because I was WORKING.
This version clearly shows him refusing orders not to move as he attempts to reach down toward his pocket. You just can’t see if he ever grabs the gun in his pocket.that however is irrelevant bc the cops shouldn’t wait for him to actually grab it. You’re a moron and a dead man if you do. So this video does not support what you claim it does.
Worst editing ever. 5 kids, cops have been identified.
It’s not over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syln8IkOIqc
its over.
I’m a white guy..tthis has nothing little to o with black and white…tthis has everything to do with cops thinking they really are above the law…tthey are not a properly trained. They stand behind the wall of blue silence. They are not held accountable. There’s no fucking way he should have been shot. I can’t fucking stand some of these pussy cops..
Hit the nicca with the taser, hell, even Rodney King the nicca, but you dont have the right to play God and take a life. Anybody condone the police actions aren’t right in the mind. no matter if he’s resisting, theres other ways to restrain this guy or get him under control. Killing him isn’t justifiable.
Sure, if the guy was unarmed, this would be completely out of line and a clear case of excessive force. But the guy had a gun on him, and was not responding properly to police commands (WHILE ARMED). I don’t care if you’re black, white, Asian, Hispanic, etc.; you do that shit, and YOU ARE GETTING SHOT. Period!
I know for a fact that black people get profiled unfairly by the police, but just because that’s true doesn’t mean that every single interaction with the police and black people is racially motivated. This guy fucked up, badly, and it had nothing to do with skin color.
Here’s a few tips for any gun owners out there (black or any other race):
If you are armed and a police officer approaches, let them know (CALMLY) that you are armed, and DO NOT (I REPEAT, DO NOT) REACH FOR ANYTHING. Keep your hands up and still, and ask the officer what THEY want you to do. The LAST thing you should do is reach for your gun without clear instructions to do so by the police , even if you just want to get the gun and give it to the cop or drop it on the ground. LET THEM GET THE GUN THEMSELVES.
If this guy (as well as the guy who was shot in his car with his girlfriend recording it) followed these simple (and obvious) directions, they’d still be alive to this day.
Dude had a piece in his pocket. Unlike other recent unjust pig shootings this one may have been a just shooting.
Another black man shot because he refused to listen to police instructions. It wasn’t slavery, or segregation, or Donald Trump. It was a man trying to talk his way out of going to jail unsuccessfully. No one is talking about the fact that he was a convicted felon with a firearm. GTFOH. Stop whining black America. No one believes this bullshit. A white or Latino gets killed I. The exact same circumstances and no one says shit.

Post a video of your mom in a link. Someone might look at that.
Wow. The new video confirms it. They never said he had a gun IN HIS HAND. They said he HAD a gun. The camera conveniently pans away when dude gets shot. You can ask see his gun on the floor. He was resisting when they where trying to cuff him. A stupid thing to do. Nothing will happen to the cops. He was a convicted felon in possession of a firearm that clearly was resisting arrest. If he was a dad or not has nothing to do with it. Stupid move. I hope people of ALL races learn this very important lesson. DO WHAT THE POLICE TELL YOU TO DO! Let your lawyer debate the bullshit after the fact. Or end up like this guy. Simple. Had he been white they would have done the same thing. Race baiting bullshit
5 years for a weed charge?? Damn what he get caught with? A truckload?
You would think he wouldn’t be carrying a gun after that, right?
