In just a week the U.S Police has racially killed two black civilians for no good reasons.


Please Note that this Article includes Graphic Images.

Firstly Alton Sterling was shot to death by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by two officers in front of a Triple S Food Mart
Two videos have emerged of his last minutes which can been seen on Afriwap.com - one of them taken by Abdullah Muflahi, the food mart's owner



He says:
'The truth had to come out. I did hold back from giving it to anybody for the first few hours. I felt they didn't need to kill him.'


City has seen protests over the death of Sterling, a father of five
Two cops involved in shooting Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II have both been suspended while death is investigated


Lawyer who represented another police shooting victim, Walter Scott, has been retained by Sterling's family



Dead: Alton Sterling was killed following the confrontation outside a Baton Rouge convenience store early Tuesday morning




Here are images before the police open fire on Alton Sterlin




The shopkeeper's video captured the moments before police opened fire on Alton Sterling outside his shop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday

After Alton Sterling has been shot




He said he was angered that police entered the shop, Triple S Food Mart, to take the surveillance footage, and refused to let him observe them scour his property.
But he said they were unaware that he had captured the incident on his iPhone 6 and had been hiding it from them.


Abdullah Muflahi Spoke

'I'm really upset, heartbroken and it really hurts. I'm trying to hold on and stay strong for Alton,' he said.
'As soon as I saw them tackle him to the ground, that was when I noticed it was escalating, so I grabbed my phone to record it as quickly as possible.
'I got the last scene of it where they shot him. I didn't expect it to escalate to that level.'
Muflahi said he was thinking: 'Ok, he's on the ground, they are just going to put him in handcuffs.'

Muflahi said as the police blasted Sterling in the chest, the first shots made the his own body shake, which was why his phone's lens moved away for a few seconds from the shooting.
'I got scared and I shook and stepped back because I was so close,' Muflahi said.
'After they got off him, (police) back up came right away and they put me in a car until 3 or 4am and took me to detectives' office where I made a statement.
'They wanted to go inside the store to take the video. I said I want to be inside my store, but they said no because they couldn't let anybody view the tape.

Wow. In this day and age? Racism is still as rampart as this in this day and age? In the 21st century there are certain human beings who possess hatred and prejudice for a fellow human being simply due to the pigmentation of their skin?
How can there be so many imbeciles out there in the world too blind to realize that skin color means absolutely nothing!!! We are all humans!!! We will all live and die on this planet, a pale blue dot in the vastness of space, and at the end of everything we are all the same race!!!
If an alien would come to earth, they wouldn't identify us as black or white or Asian, they would all see us as the very same, and then they would stand back and shake their head and wonder as to why we cannot see the same thing.
These officers deserve a fate worse than death. Not only for their crimes, but for their abject lack of humanity. undecided
