  1. ( I suppose he was right , because he was black !)

  2. How come yall don't report white people getting shot there are more white people than black people that get shot by police every year but nobody says anything about that

  3. ( I think it was just !)

  4. He wasn't wrestling over a taser he was trying to stop from being shot with it.

  5. 🀬🀬🀬 the only thing now is to put this stray dog to sleep the same way this dog ended the other young man's life… an πŸ‘€ for an πŸ‘€….

PLEASE, Y'ALL DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE OOPS… OOPS SITUATIONAL CYCLING ZERO. THIS IS VERY SAD AND BETRAYAL TO BE A BLACK MAN THAT IS A SAD 😒 SAD 😒 SITUATION BETTERMENTS MENTAL SITUATION IN THEIR FUTURE, THE POLICE WAS RIGHT BECAUSE THIS INDIVIDUAL MALE OF ANOTHER RACE CANNOT SPEAK πŸ—£οΈ ENGLISH, DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH TO GET ALONG WITH THE COP AND DISRESPECTFUL TO HIS OWN GOOD MINDSET AND THAT'S THE SITUATION DSYFUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORS, SO PEOPLE BE BLESSED OUT HERE IN THESE STREETS AND PEOPLE STAY OUT OF TROUBLE CUZ ALL ATTORNEYS AND BLM AIN'T (WHO'S) THEY SAYS, THEY ARE ( SHADES OF BLACKNESS) AIN'T BLACK β™€οΈπŸ–€ MEN'S… BUT NO MEANS,NOOOOO BYE-BYE πŸ‘‹πŸ“πŸ€« πŸ”₯πŸŒͺ️

  7. Only 7 years is a veteran of nothing, there is no situation that a cop can't make worse

  8. not necessary. murder

  9. Crump should be sued for harassment taking on these frivolous cases. Bottom line is this criminal LYOYA like George Floyd gambled with his like and lost. DON'T RESIST

  10. Maybe the black community especially the men need proper training how interact in society

  11. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈFOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS do not get involved!! THIS is not our fight!! STAND DOWN!πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

  12. Watch this video really carefully and people give their assessment that cop did right thing how humane to shoot some behind of head at point blank range officer hope guy be a Freddie Kruger in your head for rest of life

  13. Crump doesn't help the black community. There are no black leaders that support the black community. He is strictly there for the money.

  14. So, a car thief resisted arrest and found out. Can't wait for the upcoming riot.

  15. HEY BLACK PEOPLE: STOP RESISTING ARREST!!!!!

  16. This black man is so full of it he is looking for something to happen

  17. Do the prior leaders of BLM need another mansion?

  18. The prosecutor better not bow down before the woke mob – this officer is innocent – just as most of Ben Crumps victims are I bet.
