Alton Sterling is the latest name to be made into a hashtag after the 37-year-old man was shot and killed by police as he sold CDs outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge.
Many in Hip Hop mourned Sterling’s death as another victim of police brutality. Some called for true action beyond social media. Others expressed sadness, disbelief and anger.
Sterling’s death comes after Hip Hop rallied around the families of Michael Brown, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, Samuel Dubose and others who were killed by police officers without the proper protocol being followed.

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.
That took the breathes from my lungs. Why are the police so desperate to kill these poop desperate people? You enslaved them then marginalised them now killing gor what? For who? Let these people live!
These poop desperate people? LOL
So you are saying that when someone calls the police and says “I was threatened with a gun by a HUGE black man in a red t-shirt in front of store X, they shouldn’t go to store X and talk to the only HUGE black man wearing a red t-shirt? They then shouldn’t order him to get on the ground to search him? They also shouldn’t result to firearms when he is clearly struggling and the taser didn’t work? How stupid is America? Do www need a signed note from dude’s mom to shoot him? A convicted felon in possession of a firearm? Try this: put on a purple shirt. Stand in front of a 7-11 and say a guy with a purple shirt in front of 7-11 threatened me with a gun. See if the police response differs. Then, struggle against them and disobey their orders. Dummy.
Not one pathetic internet troll is going to like your comment. If you can watch a person have their life ripped from them and think its funny or that any one else would give you props for making light of it, then your life is going to be a very long and miserable prison , i wish those cops had got you forreal.
Who found anything funny here buddy? You should hit “reply” when replying to someone’s comment. That would make more sense than a random rant.

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.
How come no one mentions the part where a multiple time convicted felon is armed with a firearm in public? Only The Game got his emotions in check and makes valid points. If #blacklivesmatter then why ain’t hip hop decending on Chicago and stopping black on black shootings? I suppose it only matters when it fits a convenient narrative. Clean your own homes first then the rest of the country will follow suit.
Agreed… Not so innocent, is he?
Very true.
If he was white, it would have been resisting arrest and no one would care at all. Ridiculous. I have yet to see an Asian lives matter article. A Latino lives matter article. A white lives matter article. Race baiting bullshit.

If he was white, he’d still be alive. Here’s an oldie but goodie http://www.wlwt.com/news/officer-i-wanted-to-be-absolutely-sure-before-i-used-deadly-force/32436026
Your mom is an oldie but goodie. Why don’t you post the hundreds of videos of cops shooting unarmed Latinos, white trash, Arabs, Asians? I know, it’s because you are a race baiting piece of shit. It’s too easy to dea with the fact that this guy was a moron, and had he listened to the storm troopers he would be alive today.
Everyday niggas killing each other for no reason but when a cop does it everybody freaks out. SMH!
Very true.
You STUPID niggas its because cops are supposed to PROTECT the public. NOT kill people for no reason. You cant control what a random person will do. It’s a difference. They have an ethical code they are supposed to follow at their job and this is not one! You niggas are dumb
@smh True… but it’s a long way til the day these internet dumbfucks understand that.
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
What about the poor white cops safety? A HUGE black guy with a gun? He didn’t comply to what a white man in uniform ORDERED him to do! White. White. Black? Black? White! Black. Oh. Ok. Black. White?
What happens when a black cop gets killed? Thats like a paradox lol whats the hashtag for that? #blackcopslivesmatter
I HATE ALL POLICE. BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, DONT MATTER!!! F*ck them ALL!!
That’s the idea. Good job. Now how do we get the other morons in our country to understand that?
seeeeeeee my point Black America ? yalll are the worst kind of hypocrites without even knowing it ..its just makes me wonder what the average IQ of all these rapper posting angry tweets have …yall are some shameful hypocritical twats ! Yes I said it… How come non of these folks show this level of disgust when a BLACK MAN/WOMAN kills another BLACK MAN/WOMAN? huh why is it only an Outrage when it comes from another RACE? Blacks kill each other en masse and NO one says jack shit like this
Cause a black cop never killed a white man EVER! Lol am I in some kind of alternate reality? Am I the only one that see’s between lines? Do black people really think the whole world is out to get them? White people got more important shit to do then worry about some race bullshit. Everyone is equal unless YOU yourself think otherwise. Grow up and learn to think for yourself
See this is the STUPID stuff I be talking about…. DUMMY. All races kill each other, been like that since the beginning of the world almost. But its the RATE at which stuff happens. If a white cop killing a black person happened once every 15 years NOBODY would care. You could even say it was random if that was the case. But its happening all the TIME. People dying because of the color of their skin… like you can choose which race your gonna be before your born. Oscar Grant, Alton Sterling, Sean Bell, the list goes on. They wasn’t doing SH*T and got smoked.
LMAO why are white people even on this site?? Go back to Rock & Roll and leave us alone. Always dogging blacks but love EVERYTHING about us. Hypocrites.
“The Advocate reported that Sterling, a father of five, had been convicted of multiple crimes over the past two decades, including selling marijuana and domestic abuse. He was also a registered sex offender after pleading guilty to “carnal knowledge of a juvenile” in 2000.”
Now act outraged.
DO WE GIVE A F*CK?????? Your white ass probably watch child porn and shit. F*ck You.
You’re condoning being a sex offender and having domestic violence convictions. That’s literally what you just said “Do you think WE give a f*ck?”. I can’t debate with infinite ignorance. Stay losing buddy.
Thing I can’t get is why can’t these mother fuckers just can’t stay down. Why keep fighting the cops with aggression and screaming. Every race know what happens when you push someone of law regardless of skin colour. I’m brown and know how quick incident with a cop can turn ugly if I want it to be, even when the cops try and push you to that point. Cops have weapons to protect and sadly if you do scare/frighten them with either crazy behaviour or not putting your fucking hands behind your back then they have the right to act. Those were two big cops on another big dude, if he would of just let them do their job and arrest him for no reason he would of been able to live another day. It’s almost like people are wanting this bullshit to happen. Everyone hates cops. Everyone. Every colour. Every language has a huge portion of their populations hating cops. It’s just something you need to learn to deal with. Getting tough with “tough guys” in uniform is and always has been a disaster…. Since the start of the law this has always been the case. Fucking with the police is just like fucking with the hardest gang in your city.
SOOoooo…you’re saying get handcuffed and die behind bars with no cams…and be labeled suicide?? SOOoooo saying because they have guns they have the right to call out black people just because and fuck with hem and hey should LET them?? SOOoooo you’re saying JUST DEAL with black people being gunned down and turn our heads and go back to work like nothing happened??? Zombie style??Is that what you’re saying????
I can’t believe after watching this video some of y’all are still fighting in the comments… fuck a black, brown, yellow or white it’s about unity… we’re all the human race… the whole skin color stereotype is racist as fuck, no race is above the other in my book, and i’m “White” … white people sayin blacks should go back to Africa and using stupid “dindu nuffin” phrases, blacks saying white boys should die… it’s hard to believe it. The system is tryna take us down, they put all this shit in the media to make people from different races fight each other, they diving us and ripping us apart, cuz it benefits them… no matter whoever and wherever with whatever skin color you are, that video was hard to watch, it’s hard to watch those motherfuckers kill a man so easy… if we don’t be “nice” to each other the president and all the authorities won’t either… smh at y’all fighting each other even on the internet, wake the fuck up!
I find it interesting the comments I see posted. Social media has truly given cowards a platform. People who live there life in fear, but find it somehow useful to post petty, senseless comments about the dead. I find it disturbing that when something happens to a black man in America it’s the white mans first inclination to bring up his past. I find it comical that many white guys on this site have found it necessary to speak negatively of black men/rappers. But look at that the site their on!!! Hip Hop homey!! When these conversations are about Kid Rock or Gene Simmons by all means pipe in. Until then eat a Mandingo Dick and shut the fuck up!!!!!
You clearly take bigs ones where they don’t belong. Don’t worry. The hole will always go back to normal.
You speak from experience! I have truly been enlightened! Thx

Hiphop a been white as fuck since late 90s you fucktard. Ask any “black” performer who their main audience is. Hiphop today is skinny jeans, stupid ass beads and a retarded way of speaking English. Go fuck yourself buddy and stop trying to lengthen the racial gap.
Is it really white as fuck? Eminem is a bad muthufucka! And the buck stops there! Stop kidding yourself! Riff raff, MGK, Bronson…. All Garbage!!!! I have no problem with other races. But for some reason when there is an issue in the black community with a police officer that happens to be white. Everybody all of a sudden has a podium. In which they spew hatred from the comforts of their one room tenement. If these men were Latino, White or Asian I would feel the same way. My worth is based on the color of my skin. Or is it??

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 every day by giving exposure to retards like Chief Keef, Durk, etc every day. Its black people that are PROUD of displaying their murderes behavior, for example, 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.
We’re all experiencing/seeing this bs just as you are. We all see what’s going on. Don’t assume one entire group is apart of the problem. The media obviously doesn’t have its best interest in displaying black culture accurately.
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.
stop trolling… this is unacceptable.
I was going to reply in anger until I read your response a second time. Using double negatives, lack of punctuation marks and making grammatical errors tell me you are uneducated. I would be curious to see how far in life you’d make it without a device that spell checks you. #MarchYourAsstotheLibrary

I would like for us all to recognize that last week in New Orleans an armed black young man murdered a white cop on the west bank of New Orleans. He shot the cop after the cop asked him about a previous robbery the boy may have been involved in. He then stood over the cop and continued to shoot him in broad day light….why are we not talking about that????
Fucc that Im ridin wit Game lets get this MF craccin enuff talkin and shit lets start poppin the pigs FOR REAL.
Should let his family get bats crowbars and chains and beat the fucking pig to death and force his family to watch it 1000 times… then again he will probably get 2 months off with pay and come back and be rewarded…or get a settlement for his tenure like half the other pigs who do this shit the systems fucking disgusting ive seen videos of white people asian people black people and hispanic people all being beaten killed or if not nearly killed right on camera dead to rights its not a race issue its the cops being militarized by barrack obama and being eager to use there training on people and excercise the futher rights they have been given over you everyone beleives a cop right? Not anymore you slimey ass motherfuckers your times coming try and beat me im putting 20 rounds in you which i always have on me and i dont give a fuck if i die as long as i take 1 with me and hopefuly get a little freetime to send his wife and kids what a dead pig looks like…. fuckin sick the only way to handle it is combat them the same way they are us nothing going to change until that happens same with the rest of this country
You dont play around at a traffic stop if you have a concealed weapon permit, first thing you do is tell them with your hands up then you wait for instructions. I feel bad for everyone involved in this incedent, it could have been avoided
Djf you are awesome, just have your friend call the cops on you saying you have a gun drawn, then fight the cops with all your heart when they show up. I cant wait to see your thread on here
Dr, you are spot on. I have also been arrested and found if i dont fight them they are usually not that physical and dont shoot you. cops dont send you to prison thats on the court system. Sure there might be a few bad apples but fighting cops is a bad choice they are doing there job and I generally dont feel sorry for most cases
