James Durdin, the father in-law of Officer Blane Salamoni (pictured above), one of the
Baton Rouge police officers involved in Alton Sterling’s deadly shooting
on Wednesday has blamed black protesters for trying “to make an agenda” out of police killings.
James
Durdin criticized Sterling for the shooting, alleging that the man
“drew a gun” on the cops who pinned him to the ground and shot him, a
claim that has been refuted by a key witness.

“What
I’d like to see is them with no police at all, so they can know what
it’s like not to have them… The majority of (cops) would never be
abusive. Does anyone give a you-know-what about that? We’ll have social chaos (without cops).”

Durdin said Officer Blane Salamoni is “well-trained” and did “what he’s trained to do.”
“That’s what I’m told this situation is, that’s when the training kicks in,” he said.
He
added that it’s “a dirty shame that things like this end up in the
news, ‘cause there’s something going around the country and it’s
anti-police. They take advantage of every situation to promote their agendas.”
