    New cellphone video provided to The Daily Beast shows Alton Sterling was not holding a gun in his hand when police shot and killed him.

    Sterling’s death at the hands of two white officers has triggered protests in Baton Rouge and unleashed a national outcry, leading to calls by both the NAACP and members of Congress for a federal investigation, which the Justice Department has begun.

    While I believe the Police officers should be charged with 2nd degree murder, I’d feel much better about the case if Alton Sterling wasn’t carrying a gun and a convicted felon.

    [SIZE=11pt] His conviction back in 2000 for Carnal Knowledge is especially concerning since it was deemed a felony rather than a misdemeanor[/SIZE]

    So that would be statutory rape?
