Why is Alton Sterling being paraded as such a favorable person? Are we forgetting he was a felon? That he had a gun (which he knew would send him back to prison when found)? That he was tased and it didn't affect him? That he was tackled, held by two officers, and still fought against him? That if his hand got in his pocket he could have easily shot and killed one of them? Seriously, what is this obsession that he did nothing wrong?

For clarity: If what was said about the traffic stop in MN is wholly true (given we only have her account of things to go on), then I fully believe that the officer was at fault. In Alton's case (just like Michael Brown), the officer(s) were NOT.

Did we really expect anything more? This basically reeked of a shameless (And free) plug.

Oh, about 536 pounds.

Jesus fucking Christ that's even worse! That sort of thing is reported by Dispatch when they encounter someone, so the officers even knew that he'd done this sort of thing (struggle with a fucking gun) before. My God, I hate society some times.

I was going to ask a similar question and I wanted to touch on this:
This is actually really helpful. I mean, some people might see it as a flippant response, or something along those lines, but it really is true. I'm an aspiring writer but finding time and inspiration is hard for me. Plus, unmedicated ADD >_> I have absolutely no trouble with writing, though of course I need some work still to make it a polished piece, but staying focused is so frustratingly hard for me.

To not completely hijack this, I'm going to make a new reply, also.
