  1. I know its not the way, and better off letting the cops / govt pay you tens of thousands of $$$ but its hard to resist not breaking that cops nose with a shin to the nose. But then they'll win and the citizen has less of a case. End qualified immunity. Why do we have to wait for a black man to get killed before protesting and or talking about police reforms?

  2. Hope they all lost they job

  3. Haven't been in a Walmart in over 3 years now.

  4. Cops are the worst thugs and goons !

  5. Government y'all are pushing ppl too F in far man. Y'all go way too F in far.

  6. Okay, But was the pizza good?

  7. Wish an officer would pin me down like that for no reason, i been wanting to retire early.

  8. They are so quick to be violent they won't take 10 seconds to look at a receipt before getting physical.
    What kind of policy is that?!

  9. LAWSUIT. Game Over.

  10. Well , I see a $6 pizza on the floor…
    Where’s the expensive merchandise…
    the gold and silver, 70 inch TVs, did he
    take money from the cashier..?

  11. Pigs are going to be buying pizza for the man for the rest of his life. Wow, get your checkbook out Kansas.

  12. Pigs at their finest once again

  13. PIGS WILL BE PIGS 🐖 "JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS CAPT" SMH

  14. The cop is on his neck… seriously.

  15. I hate how pigs never check themselves if one acts dumb the other goes along with it even if they know they’re in the wrong the 2nd one should have read the receipt at least

  16. That cop threatened to break his nose. Interesting.

  17. Because he's white. If he were not white, they'd never touch him.

  18. Isn't that the knee that killed George Floyd??

  19. So brutal (and overweight).

  20. that guy will soon be about $1 million richer 😂😂

  21. WOW. Cops are so out of control. This is pathetic.

  22. Why not show the receipt as you walk to begin with so they dont think youre stealing …..?
    Im sure he caused a scene , saying he didnt have to show a receipt …… FA&FO 🤔🤣🤣

  23. Since capitalism is starving billions of people worldwide, please steal food but be stealthy, don’t let them catch you! Food should be FREE! And so should medicine!

  24. This is absolutely sad to say. A testament to how poorly trained most police officers are in this country. They had no idea what to do. That guy was not a threat.

  25. Meanwhile in San Francisco….

  26. Look like the cop had him in a twister for a second but he had the wrong arm…….. I think.

  27. "I'm gonna break your nose."…over a pizza. That he paid for. What a f'n hero.

  28. Lawsuit. Basically staff called law he wouldn't show receipts… called law. Cops came an enforced thier police dept policy and walmarts. His constitutional rights are going to win him alot of money in court.

  29. stop paying taxes and they stop being paid

  30. Losing your job over a frozen pizza. Man had the receipt right there…

  31. Typical
    And that's exactly why I quit shopping at Walmart

    The way they treat
    And USE
    their actual customers

    Use
    Local law enforcement

    And abuse ALL of our communities

    Just so that can reduce their shrink so that maybe the ceo and his girlfriends husband's family might be able to go to the Bahamas for a 6 month vacation every year and a bonus party on the island with Jeffrey
