Possible Ferguson/Chicago situation developing in Baton Rouge:Cops shoot pinned suspect

Alton Sterling shot, killed by Louisiana cops during struggle after he was selling music outside Baton Rouge store (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT)

Louisiana cops shot and killed a 37-year-old man selling music outside a Baton Rouge convenience store following an altercation early Tuesday spurred by an anonymous caller claiming the shooting victim was armed.

The police gunfire sparked impassioned protests outside the store hours after authorities shot Alton Sterling during a fatal encounter at around 12:35 a.m., especially after cell phone video of the brutal killing surfaced.

A witness captured 48 seconds of the killing outside Triple S. Food Mart that culminates in an officer aiming his duty gun inches from Sterling’s body as he and his partner pinned the shooting victim to the ground.

Apparently Facebook is blowing-up over this although I don't have a link.

The video looks bad for the cops.

They know how to handle it and they know how to act in Baton Rouge.

Several other websites are saying the same thing.

Yeap. Got fat boy on his back, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, when he doesn't comply with their unicorn fart orders they smoke him.

This is why as a white dude I avoid fucking cops at all costs.

He was a sex offender
