Chris DeLay, Who Posted Alton Sterling Video, Still Prevented from Returning to Work
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Chris Le Day, the man who posted a Facebook video showing the police
killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, says he still
hasn't been allowed to return to work. Three weeks ago, the day after
posting the video, Le Day was arrested, shackled, jailed and ultimately
charged for outstanding traffic fines. Now officials on the Dobbins Air
Force Base, where Le Day has worked as a technician, are saying his
arrest had led to issues with his security clearance that are preventing
him from returning to work. This is Chris Le Day speaking on Democracy
Now! after his arrest.

Amy Goodman: "So, are you sorry you posted the video of the police
killing of Alton Sterling?"

Chris Le Day: "Not at all, because the main thing-the main thing I
wanted to do was try to help the Sterling family get justice, and use my
platform to put these cops on display. I think it was an atrocity, and
they handled it wrong. It was a clear-cut case of murder, in my opinion,
even though I'm not an expert. But I saw his kid crying, you know, his
son crying on television, and that really broke my heart, because, you
know, I have three children."
