  1. They target people who help the community because they don’t want us to do well. When you think about how they murdered 100 million Natives, 17 million Blacks and counting, roughly 6 million Jews, and 10 million plus Congolese, but we are all still here in spite of their subhuman homicidal tendencies, we still have hope.

  2. That's crazy, Las Vegas cops let a naked friend of mine get completely dressed, shoes n socks before they took him in. What's up LA cops, weird behavior.

  3. They killed innocent black people for hundreds of years no one was arrested or charge talk about that. All America does is try to make black people poor or the most evil instead of looking at your killers. The ones in idaho and pulling into the wrong driveway or ringing a doorbell. Having there own police force in New York talk about that too.

  4. Whaaaa. Black people think this stuff only happens to them. Smh.

  5. A black youth leader in Compton 😂. Good luck with that

  6. They do that to intimidate.. when was the last time you heard a white man get accidently raided with guns drawn.. did they even have a warrant?

  7. Shout out to Ashli Babbitt on 839 days of being freed and rehabilitated from the Trump cult! It took some tough love from the Capitol police but she did it. Say her name conservatives 🖕

  8. They are called 'pigs' for a goddamed good reason.

  9. I would be searching for my pay-pay too

  10. Mexican police so much for black and brown

  11. This 💩 is getting out of hand. Why him? I'm so confused. I'm glad he wasn't harmed. Just bizarre, I can't imagine waking up to cops and guns in my face.

  12. Most people are taught that "you only need a good job to become rich". These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

  13. It’s just like when I’m not wearing any underwear or socks at McDonald’s.

  14. Liberals and their race-card… 😂

  15. They're wrong for that. No one deserves that
