Two white officers were arresting Alton B. Sterling, 37,
early Tuesday after responding to a call about an armed man. The officers had
Mr. Sterling pinned to the ground when at least one of them shot him.
The video
of the shooting has propelled the case to international attention, like a
string of recorded police shootings before it. The shooting has prompted
protests in the Louisiana capital, including a vigil with prayers and gospel
music that drew hundreds of people Wednesday night to the storefront where it
happened.
I will not be uploading the video because the images are
so disturbing. All I pray and wish is for justice to prevail.
