Our society doesn’t treat black people equally.
Chris LeDay should be seen as a hero for videotaping police officers using excessive force and killing Alton Sterling.
Instead he has been harassed by the cops and lost his job for his good deed.
The Atlanta man who first circulated video of the Alton Sterling shooting from Baton Rouge says his job isn’t allowing him back. The man claims this is retaliation for posting the video on social media.
Just 24 hours after Christopher LeDay posted video of Alton Sterling being shot and killed by Baton Rouge police officers, police arrested LeDay where he works.
After being arrested at Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, LeDay was told he was going to jail for assault and battery charges.
Both LeDay and Simmons say those criminal charges never existed.
“They never showed a warrant for an assault to my client, in fact my client was held in DeKalb County Jail for at least 26 hours and they never produced a warrant,” Simmons said.
LeDay tried to go back to work at Dobbins, but officials at the gate told him he still had security clearance issues.
This is unfair and likely illegal, but is anyone going to stop it?
We shall see.
