JUSTICE FOR ALTON STERLINGIn 2016, Alton was selling CDs when police officers Howie Lake II and Blane Salamoni confronted him due to an anonymous call reporting that a CD seller wearing a red shirt was threatening people with a gun. Within 20 seconds of arriving on the scene, one of the officers drew his gun, pointed it at Alton’s head, and yelled, “Don’t fucking move or I’ll shoot your fucking ass, bitch.” When Alton asked what he did wrong, officers tasered him, tackled him to the ground, and pinned him on his back. Despite rendering him immobile, an officer shouted, “He’s got a gun!” and at least one of them opened fire at point-blank range, shooting him fatally 6 times. Salamoni was fired but neither officer was charged.
