Alton Sterling’s Son: Protest the Right Way

“Not beating the police, not police beating the people.”

Alton Sterling’s 15-year-old son Cameron told CBS News on Wednesday that he wants people to protest “the right way—protesting in peace. Not in violence.” He added, “Not beating the police, not police beating the people. That makes no sense. That make things worse. You have to make things better by making peace.” Sterling said that his father “was a good man” and a “good dad.” He also emphasized he doesn’t believe all police officers should be hated for the crimes of a few. “They all aren’t bad. There are some that are bad, but all aren’t bad. How I feel? I feel all police shouldn’t be punished for other police’s crimes,” Cameron said. “The police in Dallas, Texas... they didn’t deserve that because, nobody knew if they had kids to go home to. Those kids need their parents.”
