  1. Jesus Christ is the answer

  2. Sounds like a cover up to me.๐Ÿค”

  3. Prayers ALWAYS BE WITH YOU !

  4. Sounds like the department covering for an off duty cop that was probably under the influence at the time of the accident.

  5. ๐Ÿ˜Seriously?? I can't even imagine the torture!!๐Ÿ˜ž I am so sorry to this Mother. Okay…WHAT??? HE WAS BURIED???๐Ÿ˜ฒ

  6. There was no police misconduct but clearly there was also no police conduct either. ๐Ÿ˜ข

  7. She hadn't heard about it because it was a Cop involved!!!!!! There's a cover-up somewhere!

  8. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  9. 37 years old and still living at home. Now moma is going to play ghetto lottery with race batter lawyer Ben Crumb.๐Ÿ’ฉ

  10. I would insist on having the body unearthed so I could know what they did to my son…she will get her answer…how sad.

  11. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

  12. Sooo.. Clearly the police covered this up.

  13. Jesus christ. That's seriously messed up.

  14. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‘

  15. I think they killed him in different ways and hide his body because he was Black

  16. She needs to be finding out what that cops insurance is and suing them for her son's death there should also be an investigation and the cop held accountable for the vehicle death of her son he can say he walked out in front of him in actuality he could have also run him down this is a tragic loss my prayers for this family

  17. He's 37 and still livkng in mom's basement?

  18. That was a cover up for sure. An off duty officer ran the guy down. And then they hid his body, so he wouldn't get in trouble.
