NO JUSTICE: Christopher LeDay Fired For Filming Alton Sterling’s Death!

by | Sep 16, 2016 | News | 0 comments

Doing the right thing often results in harassment and bad returns on a person it seems! It makes things hard, as Christopher LeDay, the man who filmed the death of Alton Sterling at the hand of police officers, found out.

It seems these men and women who are supposed to protect us often act like a mafia.

The Grio reported

Christopher LeDay was arrested at his job less than a day after he posted the video of Sterling being killed by police. He was working at Dobbins Air Force Base when the police showed up and took him into custody for alleged assault and battery. LeDay’s lawyer says these are trumped up charges that are false.“He never had a warrant for an assault,” his lawyer, Tiffany Simmons, stated. “My client has never had any criminal history.”

She went on to say, “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.”

When his lawyer asked to see the warrant for his arrest, and the police failed to come up with one, she was told that he was being held for unresolved traffic tickets. DeLay paid the tickets and went back to work. Or at least he tried to. He was not allowed on the base due to “security clearance issues.”
