This is good for the victims….BUT voters should know…. that ur tax dollars pay for the crimes qnd offenses the officers commit. . Something needs to be done to not allow tax dollars to pay for officers being sued the department being sued or when officers are put on paid and leave Administration or what ever… non should be funded in those cases
Stop voting Democrat.
Let them police themselves and we will see how that goes ! Yes address bad policing , but disorderly and criminal behavior from the citizens needs addressing , and don't tell me it's all bad policing , no a great many people want a life of lawlessness !
What, he was fired but is still patrolling?!? That’s messed up.
Sick culture. Always has been.
Such corruption as this is exactly why all Cop Departments are going to get defunded, and the sooner, the better. Cops are KKK members, which explains their racial bias. "Blue by day, White by night."
Mississippi earning it's reputation as usual.
wtf?!
Defund the cops america will do just fine without cops
Keep repeating the lie…there's no black crime epidemic
..there's no black crime epidemic
What? In Mississippi? Who would have thought??! 😨
pure evil, weakness, cowardliness, gov backed white supremacists
Why is a fired officer doing ride alongs? Y'all must seriously got some good cocaine down there huh?
We all are equal and love our peoples', we are a whole community no matter ❤ 😇🥰
Honestly they know where they live just go kill them .
The Federal Government needs to go in and clean house in this archaic stuck in Jim Crow town ! It’s obvious they need to be arrested and jailed for their civil rights violations!
Too mean they are.playing the race card well I'll be dam I wonder how they get away with it non stop ha you fake News people ha so nice try but most American people are not stupid the truth will set you free Lonnie ray
You got to root out racism in the government down south both law enforcement and political officials.. find them and fire them!!!
Mississippi Burning
Mississippi police officers aren't great and there's for profit prisons. I'm from there. Thank you for speaking out. 🔊
Wow. Hard hitting story. Town of population of 19. And great interviews with the plaintiffs. Lol. Funny how you didn’t follow up with the Mississippi black church spray painted with racist words yet proved to be by black members of the church. Wasn’t worth your time to show the truth. Welcome to Nazi America. No proof of the allegations here. Just money.
We can end all of this by just separating, but then black people all of a sudden shut up. Funny how that works huh?
In my opinion, the biggest problem with and in the United States today is that people have turned away from God. As a nation, we all need to humble ourselves before the God and Father of us all and then obey His commandments to the letter. I, for one, need to do that, and I admit it. We all need to do it. Stop worshiping the earth, and turn to the Creator.
No one cares.
these people wont be happy until all cops are removed. news flash they're not going anywhere.
2 sides of every story I wanna hear the other side..I'm sure they was setting fore works off late at night or way after 4th of July..I'm sure the cops wouldn't come out and arrest them just for being black 1 cops can't just show up an be racist
Is this a high crime neighborhood or a low crime? Did you play the Audio she has? I didn’t hear it?
They need to be held accountable 👋🏿
I applaud you.
Call up Farrakhan and The Nation of islam I'm sick of this already stop!
Good luck.
I believe Mississippi is a lost cause.
These people are trying to go back in time. The constitution still stand.
Still smoldering.
Sherrif Roscoe P Coletrane still calling the shots.
I don't go anywhere near Lexington MS the racist cop's and civilians that live there is just unbelievable
That beast hates you Black People and always will 👹
It's about time that police Department is racist , All they are is old Klu klux Klans Men. Them beating of Black Men. Black men driving while Black. Police beating black. People's,
We have solar weather coming at us & it MIGHT have an effect on cardiac patients & people's psych/mental health! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Pfe2MP9_w
Why are we surprised? At this point I just laugh at yt racism
Mississippi you say….

YES👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Tell those liberal tools stop with their reverse racism ..perversion tools
