  1. how is this news ? everyone knows police get paid vacations and promotions for murdering innocent people.

  2. Ain’t nothing like a bunch of democrats to turn their back on the police department.

  3. Firing squads going hard

  4. Take cops guns away and save lives.

  5. 75 armed to the teeth officers who fired off thousands of rounds- THOUSANDS- to evict one guy ?
    Do they not have tear gas in that county? Just one canister, just one?

  6. Thousands of rounds fired but not one cop right

  7. I bet the rich people behind iraq and Afghanistan knew that a side effect of policing 🚔 those 2 countrys would generate the type of police they want in our country i bet democrats was on the frontlines and future trumpturds was the ones black bagging and going to the houses of them people 🤔 i bet if we had any real reporters left someone would look into this statement and tell me if im wrong. If im right everytime you see a video of cops violating americans rights especially to white people doing warrantless entries etc you will find a vet and if so and you look into what they was doing in the enemy countries you will find that they was the ones that delt with searches and seizures trained to violate shock and awe if i remember correctly in a enemy country now the republicans hire them to treat democrats like the taliban. Internet investigators do it please its the only explanation for the change in our police that fits. Just because the rich reporters here at the fake left news dont figure stuff out no more dont mean we can't. If you are a vet understand i love you and know you know the type of dudes that come home and get made cops.

  8. People can't afford to live anymore. Rent keeps on going up because of increasing property values, and partly because of greedy landlords; most of those people cannot afford the down payment on a 7% 30-year ARM, will never qualify for a decent loan that isn't totally toxic. And all this is going to get worse Q4 2023 because of Biden's horrible economy. We need more public service jobs that pay a livable wage because employers are NOT going to pay people a livable wage, they will just keep hoarding all the wealth and not care when you get laid off or fired because they can just import a bunch of foreigners to do your job.

  9. 75 OFFICERS FIRED THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS FOR 1 F*CKING GUY?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? THAT'S INSANE!!! HE WASN'T EVEN A HIGH PROFILE VIOLENT GANG MEMBER OR ANYTHING!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  10. Paid leave …more to story than what's being reported

  11. Any one that doesn’t see WRONG written all over this event is a sheep in the worst sense.

  12. I think they needed more back up honestly. 😂

  13. was more like an invasion rather than a normal police action

  14. Sounds like they shoulda had that one guy on the force and not those 75, sheeeeit

  15. Oh but during uvalde they were quiet like a church mouse

  16. Wow, 75 pigs for one lone wolf….. That says a lot…Or not much at All…

  17. Standard protocol needs to change. Shrinks are not essential to a functioning society. Cops are. If a cop ASKS for help from someone, cool. If not, get them back out there.

  18. this much officers for 1 man…

  19. Wake tf up people someone with a badge is not here to help ANY OF US
