The cop F'ed up, the suspect was white, the family is white so you know they're going to get paid.
"Stop resisting" "comply"
Family thinks son is a good boy and did nothing wrong
Why didn't the cop stand there in front of the car and wave his flashlight at them to warn them Isn't that what there paid to do ? Protect and serve, not to call you a liar and then have you killed
That's what he gets
They show the pictures of him looking all sweet deception he shouldn’t have ran.
Expired registration and he decided to be stupid. Deserved.
He ran into there
Police should be held accountable for this. Policy should state that they should not be able to taser someone on a street.
you can see the uncensored video yourself on theYNC. kid ran so the officer was required to use the taser on him.
The government on protects themselves time to step up guys never trust a cop
quit raising idiots who flee from police.
As unfeeling as it might sound ….. shet happens
The dad failed as a father.
So he lied, ran, and put the officer in danger, but he's the one to blame sounds fair. 🤔
Tragic all around, but the one who set the whole scenario in motion, was the decedent. Initiate a police chase, and variables happen.
What kind of training is that? So many lives affected. Idiots.
if he was black they would be protests and cop would be fired
Lol oops
It's hilarious, people actually expect cops to have high IQs. The explanation, sounds VERY low IQ.
That cop held the trigger and moved to the side and held the taser until the car hit him. That’s murder
I’m SHOOK that white people don’t support their own! The officer should have never tasted this young man on the highway!! I hope the family sue and this officer is fired!
I support the Sheriff the kid started to run after that everything was his fault
The kid tried to run Across a highway in the dark!
Yeah the final take away from the entire story . If the kid didn’t run he would have never been run over and killed !
No empathy they still handcuffed him while dieing just cold.
Hard to feel sorry for Brent. If he was a law-abiding citizen, renewed his registration on time, and didn't lie about his name, and didn't try to evade police, then he'd still be alive. Follow the law, please.
thank God it wasn't a 🦌 that got hit.!!!!!!!
a man give out fake name and run from.a cops ….and. Family blame on cops for murder 🤣 need teach your son and watch cops on tv might learn something…..it impossible to run away from cops
Had he not run, this conversation would not have happened
It is against policy to use a taser on a fleeing person… But, they investigated themselves and decided it was still ok.
