Alton Sterling

We opened the phone lines to get Baltimore's reaction and the first person who called in was a black Baltimore police officer...

Alton Sterling’s death at the hands of Baton Rouge police officers and the recent shooting of Philando Castile, who was shot by Minnesota police during a routine traffic stop, are just two of many that fall into the same category ― Black people being assaulted and killed by police while performing normal, day-to-day tasks.

Nakia Jones is a Cleveland police officer with the Warrensville Heights Police Department.

“I don’t even go to sleep until my children come home, my grown children come home. I keep my clothes on in case my children need me in the middle of the day or in the middle of the night.”

Clinton praised the Department of Justice for opening a civil rights investigation into the Sterling shooting and stressed the need to reform police forces.

A Minnesota man by the name of Philando Castile is shot to death by police in front of his girlfriend and her young daughter after being pulled over for a busted taillight yesterday.

In the newly released video, an officer can be seen pulling an object out of Sterling's pocket after he was shot multiple times. It's unclear if the object is a firearm.

The image of Alton's 15-year-old son, Cameron, breaking down as he stood next to his mother at a Wednesday press conference will be ingrained in our memory for ages.

The two officers -- Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II -- were placed on administrative leave following the shooting. Lake previously discharged his weapon in the line of duty.

Gov. Edwards added that the Middle District of Louisiana U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI will also assist in the investigation.
