  1. Charlie Daniels could not even travel through that area….. Your neck may not be red enough… And the hillbilly erectus is known to attack….

  2. This incident could be fatal for America.

  3. And they will get new cop jobs in a neighboring state next year…. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A NATIONAL CRIMINAL COP TRACKING SYSTEM…

  4. Don't let them fool yall if they plea guilty they will go to jail or prison for a few years they will have their pension still and when they come out they will be a cop in another district. The FBI should have took over this case But they only take over cases unless they re Jewish or Asian people. Do not vote for know Democrats or Republicans they gave: woman, gays, Jewish, immigrants a Hate crime bill . and still haven't gave black americans none yet. Vote independent or don't vote at all. I am voting for Either Cornel or Kennedy

  5. Here we go again, something this country will never overcome

  6. How is this not the top story…oh wait, that's right, we have to see naked Hunter Biden instead…๐Ÿ™„

  7. The sheriff needs to be fired too. It starts at the top.

  8. Heinous pigs. Theyโ€™ll be having dark meat every thanksgiving for awhile ๐Ÿ˜‚

  9. Did the one cop actually hire a black lawyer? ๐Ÿคฃ

  10. Remember Emit Till and his family never saw true justice. Remember Emit Till

  11. They should go to the harshest prison with the general prison publicโ€ฆno protection at all.

  12. K-9 Search EVERY COP frequently at Random! Their POVs too.

  13. Solitary Confinement

  14. tRump instilled Racial hatred upon us all.

  15. I hope this exposes all of them all over the US there's a whole bunch from where that pig came from then they wonder why people don't respect them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ fkn joke

  16. Look at that trash and the audacity to be carrying a Bible into Court. Sounds about right for so-called Evangelical Southern Christians!!! I hope the get bent over good in prison!!!

  17. I wonder who these officers were going to vote for? ๐Ÿค”

  18. Legalize corrupt criminals law enforcement agency all across this country

  19. Sheriff needs to charged also

  20. Not a black attorney representing one of the kkk

  21. How ironic!!!! Lakesha threw the book at that azzzzz!!! Good bye! Hope they go in general pop with the Bruhs!!! Good luck with that!!!

  22. Let's see what this sentences look like, then I'll celebrate.

    SN: I'm so confused about why so many buildings in MS, namely a state US Courthouse, are named after Thad Cochran. There is absoloutely nothing notable about his career except longevity. The number of historical figures (good history) from that state, who changed the lives of many and/or persevered in spite of their circumstance inflicted by that state and its government's racist interference and they're slapping this man and Trent Lott's name on every building they can think of or erect. Boy, the mediocrity of it all! What a joke! ๐Ÿ˜‚
