White vs Black
This cop lied , the police lied and now his union is backing him , if the police department here is so corrupt, ordinary citizens don't stand a chance.
He’s an EX cop already?
THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME IN PHILADELPHIA AND ELSEWHERE BECAUSE OF CRIMINALS LIKE EDDIE IRIZZARY.
A Tear for Eddie by the band Ween is also from Pa. 🎉🤢
Cop should have waited to be executed. Wonder why this happened? oh thats right a good citizen who just decided to go on a rampage in his 3500 lb tool – then when stopped shows a weapon and continues to ignore lawful commands.
That is not murder is all hast to do and this is an old story with the so-called victim being a knicker.
I wonder if other police ever watch this videos and know if they don't get ther temper on control, they will be the once on hand caves next.
Hope he gets life. What a POS! I want to know if they looked him up before they stopped him and learned he was Hispanic before he was gunned down. What do their social media pages look like?
DISBAND POLICE UNIONS !! they are all BLUE LINE flag gang members !!! BURN ALL BLUE LINE GANG FLAGS !!! America flies the red white and blue !! quit defacing our flag !!
Police union is the bigger gang
What’s disturbing about that edited video?
If the criminal wasn’t trying to mow people down with his car it never would’ve happened.
They weren't armed that of which was my knowledge but then again down the street was a strange couple scoping out a few people. Could have planted evidence.
I cannot make a judgement based on a one to two second video.
Fear for his life; WHEN? well don't b a pig. Pigs b offing wives, girlfriends n people in the streets. We're in fear of them🍑🤡🤡🦾
Who else is disappointed to learn it wasn't
Eddie Izzard?
The Philadelphia police union is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone look at this video and say that the officer was fearing for his life? Police unions are the crux of this problem that we have in the US. They will defend any police officer no matter what was done and many end up getting away with a crime because of power they hold. I think it's time we re-evaluate the strength of these unions.
That was an execution
SHOULD HAVE COMPLIED THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
D U H
NOW HERE'S SOME TRUE DONALD TRUMP MAGA POLICING!!!!!
Police officers should be treated the same as anybody else, if they commit a crime they should pay for it. Further I watched the video there was no justification for murdering that young man like that. The young man was sitting in his car alone, the officer comes up to him and kills him, that won’t fly.
So these cops must have realized that their body cams we’re going to prove their story to be a lie ?? Did they think no one would ever see that footage?
Terrible terrible tragedy
US militarized police killed about a hundred people a month last year. Much more than any other wealthy country. And people call this liberty?
Even if that guy had a gun in his possession it still wouldn’t justify the shooting.
The cop was in fear for his life!
What a camera saw, was an incompetent lunatic lying imbecile tyrant totally unhinged committing an execution!
🤮🤮🤮 🇺🇸
Unedited my arss
Our current laws will weed out all the criminals eventually. The current rhetoric will cost a lot of primarily minority lives, but we can't jail people until they misinterpret the second amendment
One cop yells “gun”, the other cop empties his gun into the guy seated in the car. The perfect crime.
First cop says I thought I saw a gun, sorry. The second cop start’s shooting because he fears for his life, sorry.
And what happened to the story about getting out of the car and lunging at him with a knife. If it wasn’t for the cop cam they’d all be sticking with the knife story. That’s why cops hate cameras.
YES!!!!!
