  1. Cops created that. Accountability needs to happen.

  2. Breonna Taylor's case was worse and nothing happened. It's insane.

  3. why were there 0 blue lights lollllllllll

  4. Make cops wear all white and reflective vests

  5. Another tragic death with a gun. An innocent man was gun down on his property, believing he had the law on his side. The law of “stand your ground” law on your property. I guess now we see what happens when a good guy carries a gun to the front door and doesn’t know who is at the front door or back door. I didn’t see any police sirens or lights going on on their cars in the video released on this YouTube page. It could’ve been anybody knocking at the door saying they were the police. He had no idea. They were probably asleep, and it startled him and his family, which is why he got up and got his gun and opened up the door. The band that was tragically killed probably thought it was somebody trying to break into their house. I’m saying that because with the door camera facing out in him where he had his gun pointed. It was a slant to where he was looking to see who was outside. It didn’t actually come up into firing range in my opinion. I don’t know what we have to do to solve this problem that we have to solve it. I have no solutions here to give. other than maybe the police officers giving it a little bit more time to tell him to put the gun down and identifying themselves. I don’t know I’ve never been in that situation before, so I can’t tell you how I would react on either side that homeowner and the police side.

  6. These cops will get what they got coming they just won't see it but they definitely going to feel it

  7. To say “Mr Dotson created the set of circumstances”, is our insanity! If it were not for he police officers being at the wrong address Mr Dotson would still be alive. How can these officers claim they’re protecting anyone except themselves.

  8. Sad story, I’m sorry this happened to the family. Please learn how to properly answer your door when holding a firearm. Leading with the firearm 1st isn’t correct. Costed this man his life

  9. These dudes are Rookie Cops for sure. I wouldn't ever go to someone's house in the middle of the night and not yell Police multiple times loudly so they don't come to the door armed. You gotta expect anyone competent home owner to be armed at night.

  10. Back the blue until it happens to you.

  11. The weakest announcement, bad policing and in this case the police were the threat.

  12. These cops will be handsomely rewarded.

  13. And when a pig gets shot, the world is supposed to mourn their loss. #stopcopcity

  14. Why did the homeowner not look at his camera to identify it was law enforcement knocking on his door?

  15. ffs u r allowed to carry a gun, murder

  16. THE MURDERERS WERE LAUGHING ABOUT THE “MISTAKE.”

  17. THE MURDERERS WERE LAUGHING ABOUT KILLING HIM.

  18. A mistake is something done in error, without malice. Those SHI*BAGS ARE LAUGHING. They just MURDERED SOMEONE, and THEY WERE LAUGHING.

    I AM SO TIRED OF PIGS MURDERING PEOPLE WOTH IMPUNITY.

  19. Too bad, RIP…
    Mistake happen…
    He cause his own death…

  20. So 5308. Looks like 5305. Isn't reading comprehension part of being qualified for the job of police officer.
