Second Alton Sterling Video Vindicates Cops
A second Alton Sterling shooting video has surfaced, and this video destroys just about every Black Lives Matter lie on the incident. The video was taken by Sterling’s friend, Abdul Muflahi. A lot of the copies of this video have been repeatedly compressed and reformatted, and are of very low quality. Some of the videos are of a high quality, except the hosts intentionally blurred out details around the shooting; details which would support the officers. We sought out the highest quality video we could find that isn’t blurred out, and it’s hosted by USA Today:
Also for reference, we have the first video of the Alton Sterling shooting here:
This article will be treated as a continuation of the first video article: HERE
You may have watched the second video and failed to notice that there are several extremely noteworthy pieces of evidence. While the names of the involved officers have been released, we will avoid using their names for a short time out of respect for them.
One of the first items of note in the video is that Alton Sterling’s left hand was clearly restrained and under the control of Officer One. However, Sterling’s right hand is clearly not under control of the officers. In fact, Officer Two’s position would have made it all but impossible for him to effectively control Sterling’s hand. You can see moments where Sterling is moving his elbow, making a pulling motion. Officer Two can be seen fighting Sterling for control of his hand. Then, just before the shots were fired, you can see Officer Two’s hand is empty and clearly not holding Sterling’s hand.

Officer Two’s hand then follows Sterling’s hand towards his right pocket, and that’s when you hear shots being fired. Later in the video you can see Officer One remove a gun from Sterling’s right pocket. The only logical conclusion is that Sterling was reaching for his gun. If somebody has two police officers pointing guns at them, while telling them not to move after discovering their gun, and the person then reaches towards their gun, then it’s really obvious that they are trying to get to their gun. We have clear evidence here that Sterling was going for a gun at the time he was shot.
You may have also noticed in this video that the first shots didn’t appear to be fired by Officer One, as many had assumed. You can see Officer One’s pistol when the first shots are heard, and there is no visible muzzle flash. This means that the first shots fired likely came from either Officer Two’s gun, or Sterling’s gun.
We still don’t have many details on this case, but every day the new details all seem to support the case that Sterling was justifiably shot as a result of his decision to reach for his gun. We’ll keep you updated as more details come in.

I noticed that after he was shot and the fight continued, Alton looked like he was gain control and rolling on top of the officer. Just then the cell phone camera scans away. Then later it comes back after the scuffle is over.

I got no criminal history, I don’t go around breaking the law, I go to work everyday, I come home everyday and 90% of my free time is spent inside the house with the wife and once in a while the wife and I may go out if we can afford it, that’s it, but I will tell you right now, I am afraid of police, I’m a 33 year old Hispanic, and I seriously believe police will think I am a criminal or involved in illegal activities until I prove I am not, and for that reason alone, I will not call the cops, no matter what I may witness, and believe me, I live in a poor side of town, I see things all the time as I wait for the bus, but I’m too scared to interact with police because, I’m afraid that if I go to grab my wallet to show my ID I may get shot, I am seriously more afraid of the police than the trash that hangs out around my neighborhood, I saw a crackhead trying to break into my neighbor’s house and I decided it was best to confront him my self than to call a cop and risk the cop getting his perps mixed up, since the guy breaking in was white… luckily for me, guy ran away as soon as I yelled “HEY!!”.
This post is not nearly big enough to explain why I’m so afraid of cops but lets just say I been “bullied” by cops far too many times and every time it ends with nothing but everyone wasting their time, even had a gun pointed at me because the cop thought I was an Illegal trying to smuggle illegals into the US (Trip to Mexico once with my buddies… never again).
Also, I live in Phoenix AZ, hope that helps explain things more.

I am from Phoenix as well, you definitely don’t need to explain anymore than that. Lol I left the state because of how violent it was getting a few years back in my neighborhood. I live on the other side of the country now and I can rest easy knowing that my kids are safe and my wife as well. Things are getting way out of hand, and in due time we will all see the outcome of this..

Esteban you’re stereotyping for what reason. You assume policemen are out to get you because of your race? You’re as silly as all the blacks the claim their the target to be killed! You idiots can’t see that without law enforcement this place would go to shit. Wake up or get out of here. If you think America is that bad then beat it!

All I have to say is if a cop stops you why not be smart and actually follow what the cop tells you to do… in so many of these videos and situations the person does not follow what the cop is saying to do… Does that give the cop to tackle you and handcuff you yes of course but if you have no reason to fight the cops then why do it… Does the cops have a right to shoot you for no reason and to take your life, hell no…. but why if one cop does something wrong do they all have to be punished…

I find something interesting and noteworthy from seconds 23-29 in this video. If you look at Sterling’s right thigh, you will notice what appears to be a dark “spot” on his shorts. Is it possible that this is a scorch mark from the weapon being fired from inside his pocket? Is it just a smudge on his shorts? I’m curious as to what it is. Anybody have proper video equipment to zoom and enhance?

As far as getting shot for reaching for your wallet. Is it the state law in Minnesota to notify the police that you are carrying a firearm apon being stopped. And secondary there is only the cops word against the woman’s word as to what happened before she started recording.

Implicit in “he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun” is one of two scenarios – that officer 2 felt it in the decedent’s pocket while he was trying to restrain his arm or that knew the decedent was going for it. Why else would he have immediately following the shots gone straight to the pocket where the gun was?

If y’all noticed the officer yelled he has a gun twice and waited a few seconds before shooting and as far a the hands being restrained how could possibly see that with a cop in the way. The smug on the pants could it be when he was tackled or from the car that’s right there.
