The homeless man said he asked Alton Sterling for cash several times — and the 37-year-old responded by flashing a gun.

…Which -for the record- is a legal response, especially if he felt threatened by the homeless man’s persistence or if he did not aim or fire the gun.

Alton Sterling killed by police after homeless man called 911 – NY Daily News

The word of a police officer whose body cam is not functioning should never be taken as anything other than a lie. Ever.

All testimony on that incident -and for that matter any other incident- from any officer whose body cam is not functioning at 100% should immediately be disregarded and declared inadmissible in court and the officer should lose his bade. Permanently.

…And serve real jail time for misuse of tax payer funds, interfering with an investigation, tampering with evidence, and obstruction of justice.

Any police officer who is not OK with being policed 100% of the time is unfit to wear the badge.

anything else is an un-American miscarriage of justice.
