  1. Peacefully? Not in this age. If he broke into someone’s house or stuck up a gas station, you’d all be real quiet now. The trash got taken out, what’s the problem?

  2. Suicide by cop.

    Mainstream media has created an atmosphere where criminals get rewarded for resisting arrest and fighting police.
    Resisting arrest can make you a millionaire.

  3. Justice from Christian conservatives. 😂😂😂 Right. Does anyone believe that? I don't.

  4. All videos, reports and evidence that has been made public goes beyond reasonable doubt that Jayland Walker committed suicide by cop. What about justice for the officers that now have to ;live with that for the rest of their lives? Oh wait, that's not part of the narrative being forced upon the public at this time.

  5. Who!!! We are done with criminals!!!

  6. Shot 46 times? How can anyone justify that?

  7. This should not be going to trail at all. Shame on the family for this.

  8. Another black criminal the far left media will use to cause more riots and police deaths.
    If you want to know why there are so many shooting look no further than this network and it's goal to divide this nation so it can be destroyed from within.

  9. Actually service guns are loaded with one bullet in the chamber. So a 9mm magazine holds 15 rounds. Police load a round into the chamber next load a 15 round magazine totaling 16. After shooting the service handgun is discharged no matter how many bullets are fired police are taught to reload with a fresh magazine. If your weapon goes to slide lock you also make a tactical reload of a magazine. if police officers don't do this it is mostly considered out of department policy. They don't want officers walking around partially loaded to capacity at any time.

  10. Here we go again. Killed while dark brown with a phone, subway sandwich, crossing the road…

    America where a dark brown man sleeping in a car is shot 16 times by police but a pink man waving a hammer is asked to put it down.

    Where a pink intruder breaks into someone's house, falls asleep in someone's bed and is gently awakened by police and asked to leave.

    A global response to America's human rights abuses is well overdue.

  11. Come on Ohio. Do your officers right!

  12. No one gonna show up..

  13. No questioning his dad ?

  14. 1:45 Protests and riots ? When just ended her career lol…. was all peacful protesting

  15. 0:55 Yeah we seen this before, another scared black man to pull over and wants to run and shoot at cops. We know how it toes wheh you black privileged

  16. Why not have a BLM RIOT and buy large houses?

  17. TO NOT be taking fire and shoot this man 40+ times. If cops see a black person armed they are dead period. ONLY white people can survive these types of contacts.

  18. "When 'they' protest" not when people protest.

  19. All I’m saying is don’t lead police on a high speed chase and shoot at them in the middle of the night. Then run out of your car reach towards your waist and turn suddenly towards them.

  20. nbc, Balls Channel

  21. Why is this even being considered? They shot him over 40x!

  22. 46 shots from 8 eager beaver pigs on an un-armed man? Yet over 400 Texas oinker "cops" wait scared for over 70 minutes whilst one guy murders 21 kids. Police need to weed out their cowards

  23. Don’t be a criminal 🤔

  24. He shot at the police. I’m glad that all of them were able to safely return to their families and a thug got what he deserved. The media created the problems afterward.

  25. Run, die tired.
    He should have obeys.
    His disobedience means he does not matter.
    Why do any of you care, that some degenerate disobedient dies? Only the weak care. The weak do not matter.

  26. 0:53 "Everyone knows what's right and wrong. They know" I thought the Left didn't believe in the Natural Law. Ooops! Let this one slip by, huh nbc?
