  1. The cop city is their new concentration camp. Only the first one of hundreds more to be built, to gas us by the masses.

  2. Put the cops in Guantanamo!

  3. Maybe we should collectively sue the federal government for secondary trauma because they haven’t ended qualified immunity.

  4. activist a criminal with no job

  5. Poor guy was trying to surender.

  6. I think he fired on the police and they returned fire. Hope his family finds a) the truth and b) peace.

  7. so they shot a domestic terrorist?

  8. Is this the guy that was shooting at cops and thought the cops were going to send him text messages to tell him to stop shooting at them?

  9. ASSASSINATION by the MIC Gestapo to squash dissent and FREEDOM OF SPEECH

  10. No cameras, no justice. Cops lie so much we have to force them to wear cameras, turn them on, and turn over the footage…

  11. a firing squad murder the poor guy.

  12. The only pigs in America vote communist and attend college

  13. IAEA MUST FIRST ELIMINATE ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF ISRAEL OR ALLOW ALL MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. USA NATO & ISRAEL ALWAYS RUNNING AFTER IRAN NONSENSE

  14. ISRAEL USE TO ATTACK ANY COUNTRY ANYTIME WHY NO INTERNATIONAL LAWS & UN LAWS NOT APPLICABLE ON ISRAEL. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT MUST TAKE ACTION AGAINST ISRAEL

  15. ALL COUNTRIES MUST SEND WEAPONS WEAPONS TO PALESTINIANS TO DEFEND ITSELF & FIGHT AGAINST OCCUPATION FORCE OF ISRAEL DON'T JUSTIFY OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE ANYMORE

  16. These police are treating human beings like target practice or like they’re hunting varmints…….OMG stop this bloodlust! It’s outright BLOODLUST!

  17. Aunt Tiffa shoots a cop….cops shoot back…Aunt Tiffa gets blasted…and somehow this lawyer wants to just keep stirring the pot to cause more violence…smdh

  18. IT'S A BIG SHAME ON ALL CHRISTIANS WHEN COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST PALESTINE & ITS PEOPLE'S R UNDER ISRAELI OCCUPATION SINCE 7O YEARS FACING MISERABLE HORROR LIFE & WE R CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS VERY SAD

  19. PALESTINE COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST OCCUPIED BY ISRAEL SINCE 7O YEARS STILL CONTINUES TORTURE GENOCIDE KILLINGS DESTRUCTION PUT ALL SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL WHY UN & WORLD LEADERS SUPPORTING ALLOWING THIS TERRORIST CRIMINAL ACT

  20. ORIGINAL HOLY BOOK OF JESUS CHRIST IS GOSPEL OF BARNABAS. BIBLE IS MIXER OF POPE'S TESTIMONIES WITH JESUS CHRIST'S TESTIMONIES

  21. AFTER 2ND WORLD WAR ISRAEL WAS CREATED ON THE LAND OF PALESTINE BY USA AND UK BY FORCE FOR JEWS. BETHLEHEM BIRTH PLACE OF JESUS CHRIST IS IN PALESTINE NOT IN ROME COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST IS PALESTINE ONLY ON THIS PLANET NOT ANY OCCUPIER

  22. so now we're gonna recycle the hands up don't shoot lie? YAWN hope they got fire insurance

  24. Who still wants to support the blue, hope you meet the same fate

  25. We learned that the cops did the right thing. Vote these democrats out of office.

  26. About time major news carried this story – I'm a 9/11 survivor and i think the GBI are cowards of the lowest order for this murder, and for charging Tortuguita's friends with domestic terrorism charges. If you think this doesn't apply to you, the corporations are aching for the ability to have the cops charge you with terrorism for speaking up when you get fired from your job, for refusing to go when a hedge fund evicts you from your home.

  27. And I mean that in the figure of expression sense, that they need to lose their jobs.

  28. Another public police execution.

  29. The attempt to build this "Cop City" is based on training cops to treat the community like an enemy to be subjugated. It is already creating an increase in wrongful killings by cops. The people who advocate for this travesty of justice should all resign or be fired. The whole idea was wrong from the start. Heads should roll from the shoulders of the perpetrating police.

  30. The police hate people trying to protest against oil and gas companies. It's a pattern.

  31. I guess you don't go shooting at cops and you won't end up dead huh? No sympathy for these anarchists or what befalls them.

  32. Another case of piggies gone wild. Sad

  33. Whoever is watching me, if he does not stop fabricating and observing, I will open the door of human genetics to everyone again and will bring him out for what he is, basically, cram him for following the footsteps of Satan, his father and his ancestors.

  34. Why waste so much money, one bullet from a well trained shooter can do the dirty job!
    Heartless guys.

  35. Hands up don't shoot. Pow,pow,pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow. Huh ? Did he say shoot away ?? Let's go to the bar 🍻.

  36. What happened to the police saying he shot at the police did they go silent after the autopsy report .
