7:08Now PlayingThere seems to be a pattern after a black man is killed by a police officer. The media tends to launch a smear campaign, asking if he deserved it. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Protests erupted overnight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after two police officers fatally shot Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old unarmed Black man in the early morning of July 6. Video surfaced of the two white officers pinning Sterling down and firing multiple shots, which led to an overnight gathering of hundreds of protestors, according to the Times-Picayune.
The officers were responding to "a disturbance call from a complainant who stated that a Black male who was selling music cd’s and wearing a red shirt threatened him with a gun," according to a statement from the office of police chief Carl Dabadie. His office did not respond to Revelist's request for comment.”
