Man Who Filmed The Brutal Alton Sterling Murder By Louisiana Police Secretly Arrested And Shackled

July 19. 2016

Atlanta man, Chris LeDay, was unjustly arrested by police, in an act of revenge, after he posted shocking video online, revealing police officer, Blane Salamoni, mercilessly shooting and killing Alton Sterling in Louisiana. LeDay works at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. LeDay stated police detained him simply stating he fit the description of someone, but initially would not say regarding what crime.

LeDay was handcuffed and shackled like a murderer and told it was in reference to “unpaid traffic tickets.” It is highly unusual to shackle someone for parking tickets. The government is being nasty to LeDay over doing his civic duty in exposing a terrible crime - murder. To single out LeDay for such treatment is discriminatory and abusive. When police engage in such behavior, it only makes the problem worse. LeDay spent the night in jail and was hit with $1,231 in fines.

LeDay did not film the shooting, but did upload it to the internet. LeDay and the person who filmed the video did nothing wrong. The law permits people to film such incidents in public settings. The government needs to concentrate on the police officer that killed Sterling - Blane Salamoni. His partner, Howie Leake II, should also be prosecuted for contributing to the murder of a citizen in acts of police brutality.
