The Man Responsible For Recording The Alton Sterling Shooting Is Fired From His Job
When will the hand of the oppressors begin to lift from the necks of the black people who are “supposed” to be Americans?

The man who is responsible for capturing the police shooting of Alton Sterling was subsequently arrested not more than 24 hours of him posting the video for supposedly “fitting…
http://democracynow.org - Protests against police brutality continue in the aftermath of the police killings of two African-American men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota. We look at how people who record police violence have themselves been targeted, harassed, arrested and even imprisoned. In Baton Rouge, store owner Abdullah Muflahi was detained after he recorded Sterling’s death on his phone. Meanwhile, an Air Force veteran in Atlanta named Chris LeDay was arrested and held for 26 hours after he posted video of Sterling’s death. We speak to former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper.
http://democracynow.org - Last week, an Air Force veteran named Chris LeDay posted the first video of the police shooting of Alton Sterling to go viral. LeDay obtained the video from a friend of a friend. He shared the video with some 10,000 followers on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Soon after the video went viral, LeDay says he was detained at his job at the Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Police then led him from his job in shackles and held him for 26 hours. He was then released after paying $1,200 in traffic fines. LeDay now feels his job is in jeopardy.
Police Arrest Man Who Posted Alton Sterling’s Death Video
Chris LeDay is the name of the man who helped make the video of Alton Sterling’s death go viral. LeDay, who has a large social media following, was the first person to post the video to his Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages. His post went viral and was shared by hundreds of thousands of people online.
Only a day after posting the video, LeDay found himself in police custody based on fabricated charges. LeDay, who is from Atlanta, was headed into work at Dobbins Air Reserve Base where he works as an aerospace ground equipment technician when he was detained by military police. Ten officers, some of them carrying assault rifles surrounded him and told him he was wanted for assault and battery. He was then taken into custody where he was handcuffed before being taken to Dekalb County Jail by local police.
Once he arrived at the jail, he was informed that his charges had nothing to do with assault and battery. He had unpaid parking tickets. He was forced to spend 26 hours in jail and was only released after paying $1231 in fines. He believes that someone from the police force decided to make a big show of arresting him at his work place because he posted the video online.
Hopefully nothing else comes of the situation. By posting the video of Alton Sterling’s death online, Chris Leday was able to help provide an inside look at a death that might have gone overlooked. For that, we thank him.
