Don’t worry everyone the police officer will not be charged. He will get off with Qualified Immunity. The police will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.
Pastor, huh? God gives and takes away.
Stop blaming the cop on this one. The pastor was standing in the road while checking his mailbox. It may be hard to accept, but it was the pastor's fault for being in the road in the first place.
Cop should be charged with first degree murdered and giving life
Travel that street every day.officer knows that, perfect timings
Cop wont go to jail! Thanks QUAILIFIED IMMUNITY!
The member of the community was served. I’m sorry miss Jackson, I am for reeeaaal.
You say 'untimely', I say, as a Pastor, he was (or should have been) ready to go when the Lord called. R.I.P. , ❤ and respect for his family and friends. 😢
When I used to read tarot cards intuitions would give me warnings like when I was speeding the intuition told me hey slow down there's a policeman near and then sure enough there he was and I had stepped on the brakes and slowed down, this is the second Minister that's been killed via automobile and another one in Alabama crashed his car and died why didn't an intuition say go to the store and buy something or make a phone call at home before you leave just some kind of intuition where he would have avoided that deadly car crash. So what was my tarot cards doing when it was protecting me from harm?
Did the pastor flip off the cop just prior?
Look twice before crossing the street is taught early in life.
He should have prayed more.
No excuse.

It was God's will.
So sad
Charge the Cop with Vehicular Manslaughter, its obvious the officer was NOT doing his Job and he was Texting while Driving or Distracted while Driving. Its absolutely disgusting that they are defending the Officer for killing someone like it was an accident. Nothing is an Accident, he hit the Pastor because the Officer was Distracted. He deserves Jail time, this is why Americans Hate the Police. The Police are above the law in America and can get away with Murder and say its an accident
god's plan apparently
