Man shot by police for a busted tail light

Even if the police car and the officer were equipped with video cameras… The St. Anthony’s Police Department doesn’t have body cameras, according to the department’s office manager, Kim Brazil. Thats not what you can see in the video taken by the victims girlfriend. You can check the video out on my Thomas F Cheng account on Tumblr. The only thing that the Police officials had to say was: “No police officers were harmed”

The nearly 10-minute video garnered more than 1 million views before it was pulled from Facebook. It was then re-released on the social media platform with a graphic warning. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Assistance, a state-wide criminal investigative agency, was called and is investigating the incident, with the hopes that the car and body cam footage will show up and that the whole sequence of this terrible incident will be brought to light.

37-year-old Alton Sterling died due to multiple shot wounds.
