likely to be an ex-felon, 2.9X more likely to be driving a stolen car,
2.9X more likely to HATE COPS!, 2.9X more likely to have crack/coke on
him, 2.9X more likely he didnt graduate jr HS, 2.9X more likely to use
their RACE CARD! period! aloha
ONE word: Revenge…
wash the blood with blood…
Make these pink as* cops think twice before trying to take the life of black people
That is what happens when you dont obey the law.
Even if i cannot understand what they’re saying u can feel the heartbreak & anguish in their voice. I’m so sorry they had lost their son. I hope this officer will face justice for his reckless & irresponsible conduct
When you get pulled over by the police comply with law.
Fight it in court, not on the street.
life so far consists of all the choices you make now, and your future no doubt depends on all the decisions you will take from now on. Sometimes people celebrate these choices and sometimes bear the consequences of these decisions. But in either case it’s always you who are responsible for those choices.
Is yours sons fault. Period.
She should have taught her son to not resist arrest.
U say he should COMPLY?
TELL that to CODY GREELAND. See his experience. !!!

Should’ve obeyed the law and command of the responding officer. He’d still be alive if he did.
Congo is not sending their brightest
Welcome to America.
Justice was already served to their son.Move along and ignore this ignorant family.
One less car thief on the streets
Here we go again. All right. Let me get the plywood and the guns for the looters.
Why did he decide to get out of the car and then attempt to flee. If it was only the wrong license plate on the car he might have been given a ticket or booked on a charge that he could have been released the same day. Attempting to flee a traffic stop shows guilt and does not help when you are discussing a shooting, because if you had just done what any normal person does when pulled over you would be alive. To many times are the families held up and their narrative of a innocent child allowed to spread, when if he was truly innocent he would have not attempted to flee.
Aw too bad , your just trying to cash in with your ambulance chasing attorneys. It was his own fault ,when do these POS accept responsibility for their own actions ,good riddance, he ran , he fought, he was attempting to get taser from cop had he gotten it he could've incapacitated the cop and then gotten his gun , the cop at that point was in a fight that could've resulted in his death or injuries. Had he not run and fought he would've probably gotten a ticket and been on his way , like hundreds of other people stopped by cops every day across the US.
Don't resist arrest
Don't try to steal deadly weapons from cops
Pay your ticket or do your time
Don't become another reason for BLM to gaslight the entire country
Give me a break…He didn't follow simple instructions by the officer, he clearly states that he speaks English when asked, he resisted the officer and tried to get the tazer from the officer…HELLO!!! Play stupid games and win stupid prizes…He won the ultimate prize…These people are only looking for a payout just like Breonna Taylor's mom (who is there with them) did…They are exploiting their kids death because of their incompetence of being parents…
I’m really trying to understand “justice for what exactly?”
Big mama big sad for raising little thuglet.
For all those people defending the cop and saying he did the right thing watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqnN6OT3IFk and tell me why didn't this white man got shot after resisting arrest ?
So grabbing a cop taeser means death ? These comments our ughhh. That cop life was not in danger and if the guy was white he still be alive.
Raise criminal scum, cry at their funeral.
That's why no one likes whites. Come to the South, they are the cops, the KKK.
Now we have to worry about Putin and his nonsense and the UN is doing nothing about it…the world is screwed..

Can someone tell blk men to stop struggling with cops and comply?🤣🤣🤣
Blk men always struggle when cops stop them..this African learned bad behavior from blks…
What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! They ate some lemon heads before giving this speech
I READ A LOT OF COMMENTS COMING FROM YOU CANAANITES ,REMEMBER YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED
If the parents wanted to flee violence they should have left their kids in Kongo
I watched the entire video. The cop did nothing wrong.
I cannot stand this self rigthous attitude of those BLM "activists". They are playing out to be "victims". As a matter of fact, this guy commiited a crime, ran a way from the police, did not comply with the officer's commands, fought the officer, tried to grab his taser. The officer acted in self-defence. 100 % justified!
