Quote:Baton Rouge cops made witness ‘relieve himself’ in public after Alton Sterling’s death: lawsuit
Quote:The Baton Rouge store owner who captured the death of Alton Sterling on video is suing local police for their alleged actions after the fatal shooting, the reported.
Abdullah Muhlafi’s lawsuit stated that Officer Blane Salamoni, who shot Sterling after pinning him to the ground with the help of Officer Howie Lake II, ordered two other colleagues to seize Muhlafi’s “entire store security system” while also taking his cell phone. Muhlafi was then locked inside a patrol car for four hours.
Muhlafi has said that police “stole” video contradicting their claim that Sterling had a gun in his hand. The Beast reported that Muhlafi never signed a form giving police his consent to conduct a search, and that officers never filed an application for a search warrant.
