  9. I agree 100% with the Chief, I'm keeping those officers in my prayers 🙏.

  10. My thoughts are with the officers I hope you are well … what did you expect when you made it so easy for anyone to get and carry a gun?

  11. Good news and great job officers! Hope your injured officers heal quickly🙏🏻

  13. Excellent law enforcement work.

  14. My only question…..how many holes in the suspect?

  15. "The suspect is deceased." I love a happy ending.

  16. Listening to this with suspicion. Do we still take their descriptions of the situation at face value?

  17. Sorry but that is part of the territory…occupational hazards… just like joining the military 🤷‍♀️stop whining.. if you can’t handle the heat…get out of the kitchen… INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY AT THE HANDS OF OUR POLICE …WHO ARE …SUPPOSED TO…PROTECT US… sad 😢 joke 😢

  18. I love how Donald Trump triggers your emotions— its like he’s your master.

  19. Didn't come here to complain about politics since everything I believe is right and everything you believe is wrong. Just came here to ask who the flip wrote that brain aneurysm of a title?

  20. LET'S ALL CALL THE SUSPECT 'A PIECE OF CRAP' SHOOTING TO PROTECT HIMSELF THEN THEY END HIS LIFE WHILE DONALD TRUMP IS FACING 78 FELONIES CHARGERS WITH NO PRISON TIME???? 🤦🤦🤦🤦 STOP VOTING!!!!

  21. I am so sorry about what happened. But amI the only who watched this and said, "Her glasses crooked."?

  22. A piece of crap!!!
    I love that statement.

  23. Great job! Love the way Chief Smith didn't mince words and they eliminated this piece of crap that didn't want to go back to prison, saving FL untold $$'s to keep this piece of crap alive!

  24. Funny how the piece of crap is dead.

  25. SENDING PRAYERS FOR THE OFFICERS FAMILIES🙏🙏💕💕 FROM 🇨🇦

  31. Lester Holt is some type of alien… I'm sure of it. Is that his hair or a Yamaka?

  32. These gang on gang shoot outs have to stop. 😂😂

  33. We know the race of the suspect without them telling us.
    The Media, City officials, etc, are corrupt.

  35. Lots of bad cops in Florida. Wonder what they did this time.
