Morning Star.png Protests Launched Against US Police Shooting The Morning Star, London, 7 July 2016 Residents of Baton Rouge in Louisiana launched a protest on Tuesday after police shot dead a black man they had pinned to the ground. Alton Sterling died of multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and back after two officers tasered and then tackled him outside a shop in the small hours of the morning. The incident was captured on mobile phone video by witnesses, showing Mr Sterling pinned down at the moment of the shooting. Officers responded after an anonymous caller indicated a man selling music CDs threatened him with a gun. Shopkeeper Abdul Muflahi said Mr Sterling did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot but he saw officers remove one from his pocket afterwards. Louisiana House of Represenatives member Denise Marcelle told local TV both the officers' body cameras fell off in the scuffle and did not record the shooting.
