Alton Sterling Video Question

[brettdale]

Don't want to watch it.

We had on our news here (New Zealand) they showed two officers on top of him, they show
him struggling, you hear "Hes got a gun" and then the screen goes blank, and you hear the
shots.

I have read on another thread, that they turned him over and shot him in the back?

Is that true??

Again, I dont want to watch the video.

1. He was on his stomach, ended up on his back. Watching the videos, at some point in the shooting he

turned over onto his back. There are 2 vids, the latter one shows it clearly. After shooting him, they pull a gun out of his pocket.

2. In the province Sterling lives in they can carry guns if they're white skinned, Another black man

... got shot in the province of Minnesota after being pulled over for a tail light being out.

He tells the cop that he has a permit for his gun and the cop screams to get his hands up and before he did he kills the black man in the car with his girl friend

The nurse who saw and heard the whole thing tells the story along the lines of the girlfriend

3. In the videos I saw,

The cops tackle him to the ground and eventually wrestle to where theyre on top of him belly up, one kneeling on/over him on Altons upper left side, the other on top of him from the lower right. When the "hes got a gun/ don't move" yelling and commotion begins, the kneeling cop pulls his pistol and places the muzzle near Altons chest. It seems the victim is struggling, cause when the shooting starts, the officer on top is flipped over towards the victim's left, and the kneeling cop is out of the image when the camera is refocused.

Not clear when shots in the back occur.
