Alton Sterling Had Previous Confrontations With the Baton Rouge Police, Including Involving a Gun
One incident stands out in the lengthy file; it involved a wrestling match with an officer that involved a gun. In 2009, the affidavit of probable cause contends that a police officer tried to pat down Sterling when Sterling resisted arrest, and the officer ended up “wrestling with the defendant on the ground” at which time a “black semi auto gun fell from his waistband.” The officer grabbed the back of Sterling’s shirt during the incident, and he was able to arrest him without further incident.
In another probable cause affidavit, an officer named A. Miller wrote that he was patrolling when he saw a gray Chrysler carrying Sterling traveling 65 in a 45 mile per hour speeding zone. He pursued and stopped Sterling, who did not have proof of insurance. An officer with the last name of Moses responded as backup, and the officers let Sterling retrieve his belongings in a duffel bag, the affidavit says. Sterling walked away and said he would “have the officers’ badge and jobs.” He went to a bus stop and then walked back across the street, and laid on the pavement in a prone position, before saying again that he would have the officers’ badge and jobs and telling them to “go ahead and beat him down regardless of the outcome,” said the court affidavit.

Alton Sterling Was a Registered Sex Offender for a Crime Involving a Juvenile
Alton Sterling, who sometimes went by the names Alton Bertell Sterlings or Aiton B. Sterling, was a registered sex offender, according to a database maintained by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Sterling is listed as 5 foot 11 inches tall, 310 pounds, with tattoos on his left arm, right arm, and left hand. His status is now listed as “inactive-deceased.”
Sterling’s offense is described as committing “carnal knowledge of a juvenile.” He was convicted on Sept. 20, 2000 in Louisiana and released on October 3, 2004.
Court records show the victim was a 14-year-old girl at the time of the offenses. According to the charging document on file in the courthouse, the victim’s mother had discovered that she was pregnant after taking her to the doctor. The document says that Sterling, then 20, had been dating the victim for about seven months and having sexual intercourse with her in her bedroom. The charging document says he admitted to the mother having sex with her daughter and exhibited an “I don’t care” attitude. Heavy.com is withholding the name of the victim and mother and all victims in the Sterling court file.
According to the sentencing document in the court file, the judge gave Sterling 5 years of hard labor in the Louisiana prison system, but then gave him credit for time he already had served and suspended the balance of the sentence, putting him on probation. He was ordered to pursue a GED or trade and to perform community service, among other conditions of probation, the sentencing document says

Dear Ricky, I just wanted to say hello.  I apologize for my reaction to your responses on the post about the man that was shot.
I think watching the news and all of the horror has influenced how I am interacting with others.
In fact, last night, as my husband was yelling at the TV I asked if we could stop watching all of this as it is affecting me in ways I can't explain.
I am sorry.

My apologies, sometimes I assume people know what’s going on inside my head. When I’m typing. No you don’t need lactulose and I take so many pills, I maybe already on it. At night I take Ambian to go to sleep, an antipsycotic to stop my mind from racing so I will stay asleep, For breakfast I start the day off with a 1.0 xanax a Norco for pain (pulled rotator cuff and 2 torn muscles from sleep walking and I fall again every time it starts to heal), and antidepressants. Then there is the cholesterol and high blood pressure meds. So between the meds and strokes may I’m not ready yet to be posting. I tried to post in the Hep c forum with the same results. Again I assume people know what’s going on inside my head. My Neuro Psychologist  asked me to quit playing with the Social Workers head because I was scaring him. We all laughed and I told them I would leave him alone. OK let’s get to my posts. I live in Baton Rouge and am a Life Time/Senor/Executive Member of The Baton Rouge Iron Warriors M.C http://www.ironwarriorsmcnation.com/history.htm so, let’s just say I’m a little more privy to what goes on in B.R. than the average citizen. So, when someone slams the BRPD I take it personal, especially when they don’t have a clue on what happened. I felt like since OH made her post, it was a green light for me to respond with an equally nonsense, factious post.
Your post “When was it decided that lives no longer matter?” was answered with The Slaying of Able by Cain. I should have stopped there but I thought about when God sent the Israelites
The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the LORD. 2 Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israeldin opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and strike Amalek and edevote to destruction1 all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’
Then I questioned if the act was act Righteous or Evil?
The link to Sympathy for The Devil was because the Devil gets blamed for everything we consider evil when it may be God’s doings.

Does it make since now? I don’t think I should be posting yet. I will check in and see if this explains it or not. Then I’ll go back to the sidelines for a while.
P.S. Please don’t feel sorry for me, I have come a long way and will continue to get better.

My guess would be, when Cain Slayed Abel.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, c“The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the LORD. 2 Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israeldin opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and strike Amalek and edevote to destruction1 all that they have. Do not spare them, fbut kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’
So was this act Righteous or Evil?
Who knows? Maybe  the Stones was Prophetic

What does a person's past have to do with being shot while selling CDs and not attacking anyone ?
I don't care how long your record is, unless the police officer is in physical danger, they have no right to shoot first and ask questions later.

I'm sorry, I thought you were aware about the Laws in Louisiana. You really don't have to have a past record. If anyone is caught selling CDs between regular hunting seasons, any hunter rather law enforcement or Civilian can legally harvest 3 CD sellers.  Tags must be purchased at Wal-Mart for $75.00 All CD sellers must be tagged before removing them from the location of harvest. 1 male and 2 female Tags must be used before purchasing additional tags. Tying them down on the hood of vehicles is permitted for transfer only. Hunters cannot use Crack Cocaine to draw them in; this is considered “Hunting Over a Baited Field. The legal hunting hours are between 12am and 5am any unlawful hunters will be fined one 12 pack of 12oz Schlitz and 2 cans of Spam. For any questions please contact the LDWF.
(Next time please spend a little time on research your post read like it came direct from The View)

Live by The Sword, You Die The Sword.
If his arrest record. Posted above, was read, It’s obvious which path he chose.

I blame the Judicial System. If they had done their Job, he would be alive today. He would be in Prison (where he should have been) but he would still be alive.
The NAACP, ACLU, and BLM should be demonstrating at The Court House.

I can say, I’m Proud of the way The Family, The Local Churches, and The entire Baton Rouge Community is dealing with this. They have made it clear that no violence will be tolerated.

The City of B.R. turned The Investigation over to the FBI the next day.  Things
may change when they finish their investigation. They have the surveillance footage from the store, that supposly has the entire conflict from another angle on it

Officers in Baton Rouge shooting had previous complaints

BATON ROUGE, La. - Four previous "use of force" complaints were lodged against the two white police officers in the video-recorded shooting death of a black man and they were cleared in all of them, according to internal affairs documents released Thursday.

The complaints included three black men and a black juvenile. One of the men was shot when police said he pointed a gun at them and the others were injured during arrests and a police pursuit in a vehicle.

The documents were released a day after the Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting of 37-year-old Alton Sterling, who was killed by police during an altercation outside of a convenience store where he was selling CDs. Police say he was armed and an eyewitness said he had a gun in his pocket.

Sterling was a convicted felon, which would have barred him from legally carrying a gun, according to court records.

Cellphone video of his shooting was posted online and set off angry protests in this city of about 229,000, where 54 percent of the population is black and more than 25 percent live in poverty.

The officers involved are Blane Salamoni, a four-year member of the department, and Howie Lake II, who has been on the force for three years. Each had two prior "use of force" complaints.

Lake was involved in a police shooting in December 2014 when a black man refused to drop his gun, threatened to kill himself and pointed his revolver at officers. The man was wounded by police.

He also injured a combative black juvenile when they went to the ground during a struggle on April 19, 2014, according to documents. The juvenile cut his chin.

Salamoni's complaints involved punching a black man on Aug. 5, 2015, when he tried to grab the officer's stun gun and a vehicle pursuit on June 17, 2015, in which a black man was injured when he crashed into a retaining wall.

Separately, Salamoni was issued a letter of caution for his involvement in a "preventable crash" on June 13, 2012.

OFFICER'S FAMILY

Salamoni's father, Noel Salamoni, is a Baton Rouge police captain and one of six commanders directly under Chief Carl Dabadie. Once president of the local police union, Noel Salamoni was a finalist for chief in 2013, losing out to Dabadie.

His mother, Melissa Salamoni, retired in June as a Baton Rouge police captain after 32 years on the force. She was hailed on the department's Facebook page as a trailblazer, commanding multiple investigative units and serving as the first woman chief of staff. She collected 20 career commendations.

Blane Salmoni's wife, Allison, was named 2016 emergency medical technician of the year in Louisiana by Acadian Ambulance, a private ambulance company.

STERLING'S CRIMINAL RECORD

Sterling pleaded guilty in 2011 to being a felon in possession of a firearm and illegally carrying a weapon. A judge in Baton Rouge sentenced him to five years in prison, giving him credit for time served.

Court records show Sterling also was arrested in May 2009 after an officer confronted him outside a store where he was selling CDs. It was a different store than the one where he was killed.

According to a police report, Sterling tried to reach into his pocket when the officer was frisking him, ignored the officer's commands to keep his hands on a police vehicle and tried to run away, a police report said.

"I then grabbed the defendant by the back of his shirt and pushed him to the ground (giving) out loud verbal commands to stop resisting," the officer wrote.

A gun fell from Sterling's waistband while the officer was "wrestling" with him. Other officers arrived and helped arrest him.

THE INVESTIGATION

A group of community and faith-based leaders called Together Baton Rouge asked the Justice Department to widen the scope of its investigation, saying it should include possible criminal violations such as battery, assault with a deadly weapon, negligent homicide and manslaughter.

Richard Carbo, spokesman for Gov. John Bel Edwards, said the U.S. attorney's office in Baton Rouge will look into not only whether civil rights were violated, but also any other violations of state and federal law.

If they find any violation of state laws, the U.S. attorney's office will refer it back to the local district attorney for prosecution.

After meeting with the U.S. attorney's office to get an update on the probe, the Democrat put out a statement saying: "The people of Baton Rouge and across Louisiana should have no doubt that a thorough and impartial investigation is taking place as we speak."

At an evening vigil for Sterling, the governor thanked residents of the city for remaining peaceful and promised to make improving law enforcement a priority.

"So now is not only a time to grieve but also talk and, more importantly, to listen to one another," he said.

The case was then re-sentenced, and Sterling, who had pleaded guilty, was sentenced instead to 2.5 years of hard labor in the Louisiana prison system.
The court file said he was accused of not registering as a sex offender or notifying authorities of his change of address, requirements of the law.


Alton Sterling Was Convicted Of Illegally Carrying a Gun & Other Weapons Offenses & Was Charged With Drug Dealing
Alton Sterling was accused of intending to distribute, produce, or manufacture marijuana, court records show. In conjunction with the same charge, he was convicted of “knowingly and intentionally possessing a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance.” The drug charge was dismissed when he entered a guilty plea, the court records show.
In 2011, Alton Sterling was sentenced to 5 years of hard labor in the Louisiana prison system concurrent with any other sentence.
In another probable cause affidavit, an officer, Corporal Paul Lockett, wrote that he was dispatched to a report of suspects trespassing at a home, where they had kicked in the front door and threatened the victim and her husband with a gun. In a probable cause affidavit accusing Sterling of burglary, the victim said that her door was kicked in and suspects presented several guns and made verbal threats.
In a sheriff’s affidavit on another date, Sterling was accused of breaking into a woman’s apartment by making a hole in the wall, and then trying to sell her goldfish for $20.
Sterling was also accused of possessing ecstasy and marijuana in different cases, the court file says.

Alton Sterling Has a Long Criminal History of Batteries Including Domestic Violence Battery & Was Charged With Committing Battery With a Dangerous Weapon
The court file says that Alton Sterling was convicted of domestic battery in 2008 against a member of his own household. Heavy.com is withholding the victim’s name. According to the court file, Sterling also pleaded guilty in this offense, which occurred on March 11, 2008. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with credit for time served.
In a 2008 domestic violence battery case, the probable cause statement says that Sterling and her girlfriend were involved in a “heated verbal argument that turned physical” because he was on the phone with a female. The girlfriend said she told Sterling to leave the car but he wouldn’t, so he choked and struck her, the probable cause statement said. The statement said that Sterling denied physically harming the woman and told police she had grabbed his dreadlocks. The probable cause statement said red bruising was observed on the victim’s neck.
In a separate case in 2006, Sterling was charged with two other people in a case involving a battery with a dangerous weapon. According to the court file, he was charged with aggravated battery, simple criminal damage to property, and unauthorized entry to an uninhabited dwelling. Again, Sterling entered a plea deal. In it, charges were amended to disturbing the peace, simple battery, and simple criminal damage to property. He was sentenced to spend 6 months in prison for each count, served concurrently (which means at the same time).
In another case, Sterling was charged with a property crime: Simple burglary. Court records say he pleaded guilty in the May 2005 offense, which was amended to illegally possessing stolen property, a misdemeanor. He received 6 months in prison, but the sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation.
In 1996, court records show, he was charge with another simple battery case, but it was dismissed.
In another domestic violence battery case, the charging document says that a girlfriend of Sterling’s said she was battered at a Mobil station and that “she and the defendant have been involved in several physical confrontations” and that she “had been battered during their relationship.”
In yet another case, Sterling was accused of entering a man’s house and demanding money. He then pushed and shoved the man, “tearing up furniture” and then others arrived to help destroy items, including appliances, the court affidavit says. The court record says that a police officer stopped Sterling, who said he had “tore up the apartment” because the victim had stolen his money. He gave his name as “Otis Deesnuts” and made a reference to a killing and having a barbecue, court records say.
