Alton Sterling Shooting in Baton Rouge Leads to International Attention

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.
