Alton Sterling shooting - Baton Rouge, LA

[2KBlackGT]

Did he end up with a 20 year criminal record, caught with "Carnal knowledge of a minor", had multiple arrests for having an illegal firearm, resisting arrest....and have to register as a sex offender? Is that easy?

Well considering he's only 19, no. However, he's on probation for a year and has a $3000 fine. The charge is a misdemeanor and as long as he stays on the straight and narrow it supposedly will not go on he record(according to him). Thing is, when potential employers run his background this charge shows up on his record and has made it difficult for him to gain employment, therefore he may not be able to pay his monthly fine which would result in a warrant for his arrest. He worked one day at a rental car place until they got his background back and informed him they couldn't keep him. So I could see how the struggle to find work would push him to looking for other ways to make money, in turn possibly obtaining a lengthy criminal record down the line. He is a college student/athlete atm.

I just found out how easy it is for kids, black to be exact, to acquire a criminal record. My nephew got into some trouble and had to go before a judge, he found out that there was also a warrant out for his arrest also when he went before the judge. They added a charge during this hearing and had him plead guilty on the spot to the charge. I told him when he found out they were trying to charge him with something else he should have asked to speak with his lawyer. He's young and didn't know any better so they took advantage of his ignorance and railroaded him. We had a loooooooong talk after I found out about this. I really want to have the case recalled but don't really know how to go about it.

What did he get in trouble for that he needed to face a judge(I don't expect an answer)? Why did he have a warrant out for his arrest? Why would they add an additional charge on him? I'm not trying to start a race war here, but I highly doubt this has ANYTHING to do with race. The justice system is flawed anyway you look at it, and it always will be. There will always be issues to overcome. However, I highly doubt that he had a warrant out for his arrest without cause.

My sister went through the same thing for shoplifting $50 worth of clothes. $50 turned into $5,000+. She's white if that makes any difference. She also can't find a job because it's on her record, which she's working towards to get off. Do the crime, do the time...

He had a Jamesis Winston type situation, not the rape situation lol the other one. The additional charge was because one of his teammates paid for their food with a credit card that wasn't his at a Waffle House. Apparently there was a warrant for all 4 of them that he wasn't aware of. He claims he didn't know the card wasn't his teammates but he was charged with misdemeanor credit card fraud: theft by receiving or something like that. Thing is we understand it was wrong and he messed up but how is he responsible for his teammate using someone else's card against his knowledge? I know when my friends pay for a meal when we're out I don't examine their card before they pay.

Sterling would be alive today if he did what the cops asked. He had a concealed gun as a parole which I'm guessing was going to send him back to jail. Based on these two choices he faught to the death.

MN looks to me was a jumpy cop who did not know exactly what to do with a legal ccw.
Why did the driver not have license and reg before cop arrived?
Did the cop yell stop and give time for the man to stop as he was going for his license/gun?
Why did the cop not have the man exit vehicle and clear license/gun on his own?

The shoplifting isn't the issue. It's the credit card thing that bothers me. Had the credit card charge not been on his record he'd still be working at the rental car place(friend of mine hired him) and would be able to pay the fine.

Yeah I don't agree with the credit card scenario, that's nearly impossible to validate unless, as you said, you check the card prior to letting a friend pick-up the tab. Can't see how that could justify a warrant for his arrest.

He didn't know his rights. I and others failed him in that regard.

This is yet one more reason why I feel that all uniformed officers should wear body cameras. It keeps everyone honest.

From what I read they had them, but were not functioning when they were tackling him. As to that being the real reason, just have to wait and see.

Sterling’s offense is described as committing “carnal knowledge of a juvenile.” He was convicted on September 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.

I'm actually quite glad he got executed, now.

The few times I've been pulled over I've never had them ready. Not going to be opening the center console and be digging into my jeans when the cop is walking up to the car/truck. Hands on the wheel till he gets to my window

I tell the officer where everything is and I do it nice and slowly.

I'm actually waiting on a response by Obama on how this gentle giant could've been his son.
