No Shock Here: Officers Who Killed Alton Sterling Will NOT Be Charged For His Death

Officers Will Not Be Charged For Alton Sterling’s Death Though this news isn’t at all surprising, it’s definitely disappointing. The two white police officers who shot and killed Alton Sterling outside a Baton Rouge convenience store will not be charged in connection with his death. The Department of Justice ruled that Officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake will not face any federal charges for shooting Sterling dead while he was unarmed and subdued on the ground . According to the New York Post , Justice Department officials were planning to announce the findings on an ongoing investigation they had been conducting on the incident within the next 24 hours, but sources leaked the information that they would not be bringing any charges against the officers before they got a chance to let that information out to the public. Are you at all shocked by the fact that these two killer cops will get to go free and go back to the force as if nothing happened? We aren’t… Facebook

Is This The Gremlin Gang? Texas Thugs Rip Off Door And Rob Gun Shop! [Video]

Goons are goons. NBC: They were gone in 120 seconds — and nabbed in less than 48 hours. At least three of the 10 thieves whose spectacular smash-and-grab robbery of a Houston gun store was caught on surveillance footage were in police custody and facing federal charges, NBC affiliate KRPC reported Thursday. Some of the 50 weapons stolen by the brazen bandits were also recovered, the station reported. Police have not identified the suspects and are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that would lead to the arrest of their alleged accomplices. The heist at Carter’s Country Guns & Ammo was pulled off at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday with a brutal simplicity. The footage showed the thieves backing-up a black Ford F-250 pickup truck to the store and stretching a chain to the glass and iron security door. Then a robber, dressed in jogging pants, smashed the glass with what looked like a hammer and secured the chain. The truck — burning rubber — then yanked it off its hinges. Seconds later, the thieves swarmed inside and ransacked the store, smashing display cases and pocketing pistols. They also picked an entire wall of rifles clean. In recent months, there have reportedly been other smash-and-grab robberies of gun stores in Houston by thieves who supply them to street gangs.

The Geto Boys rapper (born Brad Jordan) was jailed October 13, and it was reported by XXLMag.com that ‘Face owed more than $123,000 in child support on four separate cases.
