Usa, ambulante afroamericano ucciso dalla polizia in Louisiana. Protesta a Baton Rouge

WASHINGTON – Torna a montare la protesta degli afroamericani dopo un nuovo caso di uccisione di un nero da parte di un agente di polizia. Questa volta è accaduto a Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, dove martedì a morire sotto i colpi di un tutore dell’ordine è stato il 37enne Alton Sterling. Alcune ore dopo, circa 200 persone sono scese in strada nella città, ma le manifestazioni di rabbia e dolore si sono moltiplicate e sono andate avanti per tutta la notte dopo la diffusione su internet di un video girato con un cellulare, diventato in breve virale, in cui viene che presumibilmente mostrata la sequenza che ha portato alla morte di Sterling

Protests in Baton Rouge after Louisiana police shoot Alton Sterling dead

Two officers on administrative leave after man was shot ‘four to six times’ in chest and back after altercation with police outside convenience store

A white Louisiana police officer shot and killed a black man following a confrontation outside a Baton Rouge convenience store, authorities said.

An autopsy showed Alton Sterling, 37, of Baton Rouge, died on Tuesday of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back, said East Baton Rouge parish coroner Dr William Clark.

Officers had responded to the store at about 12.35am on Tuesday after an anonymous caller indicated a man selling music CDs and wearing a red shirt had threatened him with a gun, said corporal L’Jean McKneely.

Two officers responded and there was an altercation with the man, then one officer fatally shot the suspect, McKneely said. Both officers were placed on administrative leave under standard department policy, he said.

The store’s owner, Abdul Muflahi, told WAFB-TV that the first officer used a Taser on Sterling and the second officer tackled the man. Muflahi said that as Sterling fought to get the officer off him the first officer shot him “four to six times”.

Video of the shooting that circulated on Twitter sparked outrage.

Muflani said Sterling did not have a gun in his hand at the time but he saw officers remove a gun from Sterling’s pocket after the shooting.

McKneely said late on Tuesday that he could not confirm Muflahi’s description of the alleged event or any other details of the investigation.

On Tuesday night about 150 protesters took to the streets of Baton Rouge chanting “Black Lives Matter” and “No justice, no peace”.

The protest continued past midnight and demonstrators said they would hold a rally outside city hall on Wednesday morning.

“We’ve seen a video that’s disturbing, and gruesome,” Mike McClanahan, Baton Rouge president of the NAACP, who was among the protesters for much of the evening, told the Advocate. “We know that justice must be served.”
