‘Stupid A** Motherf***er’!’ Police Officer Fired For Shooting Black Man While Standing Over His Lifeless Body

An American police officer shouted “stupid a** motherf***er” at a black man selling CDs after shooting him dead. Shocking new footage of officer Blane Salamoni swearing over the lifeless body of Alton Sterling has emerged as the cop was sacked over the 2016 shooting.Salamoni will not face criminal charges but the Baton Rouge police department found he had “violated department standards” through his use of force and losing his temper Police Chief Murphy Paul told a news conference. The second officer, Howie Lake, was suspended for three days for failing to maintain his composure.The decisions followed an administrative review of the July 2016 shooting, and both officers plan to appeal, Paul said. The steps are designed “to bring closure to a cloud that has been over our community for far too long,” he said. Sterling was among black men killed by police whose deaths sparked U.S. protests and helped fuel the Black Lives Matter movement. Police released four videos of the confrontation with Sterling outside a convenience store, where he was selling CDs.One showed Salamoni calling Sterling a “stupid a** mother f***er” as he stood over his lifeless body. Salamoni said he was angry and blamed Sterling for having “forced” him to shoot.

Paul called the footage from a police dash camera, officers’ body cameras, and a store surveillance camera “graphic and shocking to the conscience.” Salamoni’s camera shows him yelling at Sterling with expletives to put his hands on a car. He points a gun at his Sterling’s head and shouts he will shoot him if he moves.Photo Credit: Getty
