The shooting of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, LA, a registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal history, has again ignited the social media courts in a frenzy of anti-law enforcement rhetoric.

Have there been police shootings that were unjustified? Absolutely. The shooting of a man during a routine traffic stop in Minnesota does appear to be a case of an officer overreacting, at least based on the information we currently have.

The Sterling case, again based on the info we have, appears to be a completely different situation. The Blaze's Tomi Lahren offered her view during the 'Final Thoughts' portion of her show.  She sums it up perfectly. Let the Justice Department do it's job and investigate.
