In The Louisiana And Dallas Cop Killings Authorities Stated There Were Three Shooters Then Strangely Retracted Their Stories


Micah Xavier Johnson

Most of you remember reading that there were three active shooters who shot and killed police in Dallas, Texas. Then, almost two weeks later, most of you remember reading there were three active shooters who killed police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However, in each shooting, police backtracked and stated there was just one killer in each incident.

Authorities later attributed the Dallas, Texas murder of 5 police officers to former U.S. soldier, Micah Xavier Johnson, who was killed on the scene. Authorities later attributed the killing of 3 Baton Rouge, Louisiana police to former U.S. soldier, Garth Long. Now comes word Long was in Dallas around the time of the shooting by Johnson.

 
The Mirror published an article this past Sunday, using reports from television and internet sites in America, stating one shooter was killed and two got away

In each shooting, witnesses repeatedly stated there were 3 shooters. So, what's going on? Why the cover up. And the U.S. government likes to call Americans conspiracy theorists. But look what authorities keep doing. What do you expect the public to think under the circumstances. Television and newspapers went out to the public claiming multiple shooters in each incident. How does the government explain that.

Shots fired, officer down' - Horrifying audio of desperate Baton Rouge cops after three officers killed

18:44, 17 Jul 2016 Updated 18:56, 17 Jul 2016 - A man dressed in black and with his face covered began shooting indiscriminately after walking out of a convenience store and car wash in the Louisiana city. This is the horrifying moment a Baton Rouge police officer called for back-up moments after three of his comrades were gunned down by a masked gunman.

His voice cracking with emotion, he tells the radio dispatcher: "Shots fired, officer down, shots fired. "City officer down. Shots fired, shots fired. We (unintelligible) where he's shooting from. The dispatcher responds and the male officer adds: "We do not know where he's shooting from."

Three police officers have been killed after a group of gunmen opened fire on them in Baton Rouge in Louisiana. One of the gunman was killed - but two others are still at large...

U.S. Marine And Nation Of Islam Member Kills 3 Police Officers In Louisiana Out Of Revenge For The Death Of Alton Sterling


Gareth Long
 
Former U.S. marine and Nation of Islam member, 29-year-old Gareth Long, opened fire on several police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Sunday, killing three. The shooting also left three police officers injured. Based on items posted to social networking, Long was enraged by the police brutality based killing of Louisiana father of five, Alton Sterling, in a murder that went viral, incensing many people in America and around the world. 

It led to foreign nations issuing unprecedented travel alerts against the United States to warn their traveling citizens of the dangers that exist in America and to send a point to the complacent government in Washington (the Bahamas, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Australia and Britain).

Long posted videos online angrily complaining about Sterling’s death, after the Louisiana man was shot in the chest 5 times at point blank range, in what was unquestionably police brutality, employing the use of extreme, excessive force. Long took out his anger on police, via the violent murders that occurred against the three officers, which was wrong. Long should not have murdered police. It was an ambush with the intent to kill. 

All cops are not bad. It is unwise to adopt the view that all police are bad. As the Judiciary Report has maintained for years, there are decent cops out there. However, the main problem is the American justice system often fails and it is leading to vigilantism in the United States. 

To state America does not have a problem with police brutality would be a lie. Studies have shown, a disproportionate number of black people have been subjected to police brutality, many times resulting in the preventable deaths/killing of civilians. Police in America have the highest murder rate in the western world, regarding killing civilians. For the one millionth time, Congress needs to address this issue via legislative means Congress Needs To Enact Legislative Guidelines Regarding Police Brutality.

Man Who Filmed The Brutal Alton Sterling Murder By Louisiana Police Secretly Arrested And Shackled


Atlanta man, Chris LeDay, was unjustly arrested by police, in an act of revenge, after he posted shocking video online, revealing police officer, Blane Salamoni, mercilessly shooting and killing Alton Sterling in Louisiana. LeDay works at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. LeDay stated police detained him simply stating he fit the description of someone, but initially would not say regarding what crime. 

 

LeDay was handcuffed and shackled like a murderer and told it was in reference to “unpaid traffic tickets.” It is highly unusual to shackle someone for parking tickets. The government is being nasty to LeDay over doing his civic duty in exposing a terrible crime - murder. To single out LeDay for such treatment is discriminatory and abusive. When police engage in such behavior, it only makes the problem worse. LeDay spent the night in jail and was hit with $1,231 in fines.  
LeDay did not film the shooting, but did upload it to the internet. LeDay and the person who filmed the video did nothing wrong. The law permits people to film such incidents in public settings. The government needs to concentrate on the police officer that killed Sterling - Blane Salamoni. His partner, Howie Leake II, should also be prosecuted for contributing to the murder of a citizen in acts of police brutality.

Man Who Posted Alton Sterling Shooting Video Has Been Arrested By Police
 
July 10, 2016 - 24 Hours after the footage of Alton Sterling being shot and killed by Baton Rouge police went viral, the man who initially posted the clip online has had his own brush with law enforcement. Chris LeDay, an Atlanta native who did not film the shooting video but was the first person to post it online, helped the story gain national attention when he shared it on his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts. As the story began to circulate into being front page news, LeDay was arrested while on the way to his job at Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

After being handcuffed and shackled, he was taken to the police station where he was reportedly told that he was arrested for unpaid traffic tickets...

Police Officers Identified From The Alton Sterling Shooting (Video)


Alton Sterling being pinned down then killed by police officers in Louisiana
 
The two police officers that killed 37-year-old African-American, Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on July 5, 2016, have been identified as Blane Salamoni and Howiw Leake II. Both men have been placed on administrative leave during a pending investigation into Sterling's suspicious death. Sterling was shot 5-times at point blank range, while selling CDs in front of a food store, with the permission of the owner.   


 
The murder of Sterling provoked anger among the public. The outrage was compounded when a second black man was shot and killed by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota (Philando Castile). Black, white and Hispanic people on social networking are decrying and denouncing police brutality in the wake of the two murders.

The Murder Of Alton Sterling By Louisiana Police Causes Outrage Among The Public (Videos)


Police brutality and excessive force strikes again in America. 37-year-old father of five, Alton Sterling, was tased, tackled and shot several times in the chest at point blank range, by an officer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while his police partner held the victim down. Sterling died on the scene. He was selling CDs outside of a food store, with the permission of the owner, when police arrived.


It is being stated police receive a complaint Sterling threatened someone outside the store and brandished a gun. One of the two officers tackled Sterling to the ground, then pinned his arm down, as did his fellow cop. While having Sterling completely subdued, one officer yelled "he's got a gun" (said to be in his pocket, which is lawful in America) and within seconds the other cop took out his own weapon and fired into Sterling's chest at close range, executing him.

The police officers also quickly seized the store owner's security camera footage showing the murder. However, unbeknownst to the officers at the time, two people sitting in a car used their mobile phones to film the shooting. They anonymously uploaded the video from their phone to the internet, sparking massive outcry from the public. The police officers claim their body cameras fell off during the scuffle, which is not seen on the video that ultimately surfaced.

To blunt public sympathy, police began pushing Sterling's criminal record online. It is being stated Sterling had been previously arrested for aggravated battery, domestic violence, unauthorized entry, vandalism,  drug possession (marijuana), weapons possession, disturbing the peace and is a registered sex offender, regarding a "carnal knowledge of a juvenile" criminal conviction. As serious as those crimes are, it does not negate the fact he still had human rights and to summarily execute him on a public street, after aggressively approaching him, cost him his life and in a very violent way that looks bad. The store's owner stated he did not see Sterling reach for a gun and was tased then shot by police.

The video is awful and chilling. There’s no way to objectively state that Sterling's shooting death was justifiable homicide. That was an execution via excessive force illustrating a total disregard for human life. It is alarming that these types of cases are becoming more and more egregious. For every cop that goes out there and does his job properly, the intense public scrutiny and disgust the bad apples bring to the force does an extraordinary world of damage to the name of police in America and in the area of race relations regarding the black community and authorities.

The police brutality occurring in numerous places in American makes it a federal issue, as it is occurring in a number of U.S. states which encompasses the country. Congress is the only entity that can truly bring reform on this tragic issue, via meaningful legislation or the problem will continue to occur. There are nations where police don't even use guns and still get the job done, effectively policing, with nowhere near the fatality rate present in America. However, I am of the belief Congress is too afraid to enact the legislation needed to curb the problem
