You would think that crooks would figure out that running and /or fighting with the police can be deadly. Oh well, Darwin doing his work again.
NBC great local news coverage. Thanks for leaving national news to legit news sources.
Who cares? Don't be a criminal and you dramatically increase your life expectancy.
Just think if the perp hadn't committed a crime and hadn't run, he'd be at home chilling watching Netflix rn.
Wonder if the police know that shoplifting is a daily occurence that retail workers mitigate daily throigh observation and reports not 1 store would have triend to physically stop someone frl. Stealing with force as the potential bpowback for the companies involved could be far wprse than the loss of what was stolen
If the police aren’t shooting us, we’re shooting each other. #america
Don't worry folks it will always be the cops fault the poor thugs they never do anything wrong
Well from what I've seen online about Virginia police all of this will just go away because they will hide any wrong doing they did anyway when they investigate themselves. Sad thing is I used to support the police when the liberals would say defund them now I don't think we should support these criminals at all. How sad is that?
“Then he(Jesus) said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
[Luke 21:10-11]
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” [Hebrews 9:27]
“as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” [Romans 3:10, 23]
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” [John 3:16]
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." [1 Corinthians 15:22]
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” [Romans 10:9-10]
They basically got tired of chasing & running after him so they said too much paper work & he s getting away so let s make up a story saying our lives were threatened by him, considering he was already running away!
Good way to stop shoplifting!
He's already making justifications at the end of his special forces unit. There were never any weapons or any reason to believe there was a weapon. Here we go again, paid leave while being investigated by the police. Another lawsuit that the tax payers will have to float. Their only answer is more control and more means of lethal force. They hate us and we hate them, police story.
All I saw was the title, I'm gonna make a guess, the person has dark colored skin.
Hello ❤❤❤❤❤
"Something happened "…..yeah, he was getting away
There was no gun or he would have told us, there was no stolen item or he would not have called him a shop lifting suspect, if he actually stole anything he would have told us. What he told us is pretty clear, what he told us is obvious to all of us, what he said is NOT Fake News just because we watched NBC, what he told us clear to you and to me; there is much more to this than a "suspected" shoplifter, he told us the name of the store and, he told us one "officer" was in uniform and one was in plain clothes. Plain clothes officers and uniformed officers don't patrol these stores now do they. He told us about the now dead man's "alleged" criminal history because he is painting a picture of justification for two cops unloading their guns into this man and he told us there is and was no gun, he told us there was no stolen property. Listen to what he said, watch his face and shifting body language, it tells us a lot. This is Real News, this man was Killed by two "officers" we know that they will investigate themselves and we know it will take a long time. We know a lot, don't we.
Yeah they shot him..haha…
I can honestly say he won't do this again
Why are these cops shooting black people in the back who’s running from them! How are they endangered when they’re running away! Oh , Slave master said bring them in dead or alive is what’s in the blue uniforms!
They shot him for stealing food.
Getting killed for shoplifting and a record??! JFC
Can't water to see body cam footage
They got too winded and tired of running, so they just ended him… Dang.
0:56 "Okay, so where's the fire?"
Do stupid thing get stupid prize. He wont doing criminal things anymore
The cops will say they saw what they believed to be a gun. Even though he was probably shot in the back because they were in fear for their life.
Maybe the other shoplifters will learn from this.
There they go setting up the narrative setting up the narrative ahead of time
How do you end up killing somebody behind shoplifting but they can bring mass murderers in without harming a hair on their Bodies. #SMh
When you steal. You know the risk you are taking. Accept responsibility for your actions.
Judge jury and executioner
They were scared of sticks
Wh*te power police
because they had a gun… and their 'COPS'
The police must be on Bloomingdale & Macy's payroll if they had to shoot him dead for shoplifting.
Stealing is a Sin punishable by death saieth the lord. Thank goodness there officers are doing the lords work
Criminal should ended with ☠️☠️☠️
Still doesn't give you the right to shoot if he's runny from you ..he's not a threat…old white pigs
If you get shot in the woods and no one is around will it make a noise….
Great job!
The pigs did not want to go into the woods to chase, so they shot. Now they are looking for an imaginary weapon to show justification for killing a man over merchandise. Lock these criminals with badges up.
These days there's No judge, Trial or Bail needed.
