  1. He didn’t obey anything they said wats up with ppl not listening he brought this on hisself

  2. For those of you who honestly think black people have it good in America…. You're the problem…

  3. The police worst then the Italian Mafia and the cartel put together when they do these documentary on gangsters they need to add the police in there too

  4. TONY TIMPA POLICE…..NICHOLAS CHAVEZ HOUSTON POLICE……..YOUTUBE IT……NOT JUST BLACKS…..BUT MEDIA LOVES THIS. THE OTHERS DESERVE THE SAME RESPECT AND ATTENTION AND THEY WERE NOT RESISTING ARREST. THE COPS WERE ALL GUILTY IN ALL CASES, BUT MEDIA LOVES TO SPOTLIGHT JUST BLACKS. THAT IS WRONG.

  5. It breaks one’s heart to watch…The way the monsters acted is disgusting, appalling…
    but I wonder isn’t it safer to step out and yield to arrest and prove your innocence than trying to resist or run & end up this way…
    this has not been the first time police did this & everyone knows …keeping calm is far better than anything else …

  6. things people arent discussing: black officers killing a black citizen. The paramedic team doing nothing and not getting charged. The fact that he ran because he feared for his life. The police-state people are being trained into: people have a right to know why they are being pulled over, arrested etc. advising people to sit and be obedient when their rights are violated only leads to more police brutality. ***the fact that these officers have bodycams and yet still this happened is very disturbing because it points to a work culture that protects the police at any cost and a history of cover-ups; they do not fear consequences of their brutality, and that should scare all citizens.

  7. Don't be a criminal and the police will not bother you. It's easy to not be a criminal. Thumbs up for the police.

  8. Mother, mother
    There's too many of you crying
    Brother, brother, brother
    There's far too many of you dying
    You know we've got to find a way
    To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
    Father, father
    We don't need to escalate
    You see, war is not the answer
    For only love can conquer hate
    You know we've got to find a way
    To bring some lovin' here today
    Picket lines and picket signs
    Don't punish me with brutality
    Talk to me
    So you can see
    Oh, what's going on (What's going on)
    What's going on (What's going on)
    What's going on (What's going on)
    What's going on (What's going on)
    Right on, baby
    Right on, baby
    Right on
    Mother, mother
    Everybody thinks we're wrong
    Oh, but who are they to judge us
    Simply 'cause our hair is long
    Oh, you know we've got to find a way
    To bring some understanding here today
    Picket lines and picket signs
    Don't punish me with brutality
    Come on talk to me
    So you can see
    What's going on (What's going on)
    Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
    Tell me what's going on (What's going on)
    I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on)
    Right on, baby, right on
    Right on, baby
    Right on, baby, right on

  9. The whole world is watching.

  10. Cant wait for police mandatory drone cams be implemented so footage can be better

  11. oops they did it again…. sure looks like the officers safety is at risk and it is therefore lawful to neglect the dudes right to life and liberty, oh and they took the shortcut without trial. The USA is the greatest country of all time.

  12. Why no rioting and looting? Like the other police brutality cases. Peaceful protest? And no property destruction or vandalism? Huh, what makes this time different 🤔.

  13. Time for blacks to steal Nikes and break into liquor stores to show their support.

  14. Blacks just love to be on tv

  15. Oh my gosh they murdered him. I’m so scared of the police lately

  16. I gotta ask, where are all the “if he just cooperated,” folks, the “do stupid shiz get stupid prizes,” folks. They aren’t here, because this was undeniably wrong. He ran because he knew his life was in danger and they were not interested in giving him a fair shot: this is simply wrong, and there is no “other side to the story,” it’s wrong. Period.
