This "COP" is a murderer,he should face the death penalty
If that child passes away, God forbid, I hope they charge that coward with murder!!! Wasn’t even the same car or kid!!!!!
Wtf
Lock him up in prison
Wtf
i really hope he makes it, this is so horrible.
What will happen if the teen dies will the ex cop be charged with murder?
More to the story , they knew each other somehow. He just opened the door to calmly for me.. he wanted him dead
Must be related to billy the kid, 😎
That officer should get the death penalty
So, the cop was mad that car got away from him the other day & his ego needed revenge. Got it.
I want to say this, but please don’t take it out of context. That kid seen the cop and decided to run… why? Now the cop was totally wrong for what he did! But why are you running if you’re not doing anything! I pray this child recovers and this coo gets everything he got coming to him. But please YALL if you’re innocent please don’t run or make things worst! Return home safely and deal with what happen later!
Why shoot? Disgusting
You see a cop don't put in drive is common sense
put him in a sty he will be more at home
I can't watch this Video out of choice, but I hope the Jury that does, gives this Cop Life w/o Parole!!!!
Imagine getting shot in your lungs while digesting a mcchicken 😢
That cop is 25, Gen Z. See? You guys are growing into the age of blame.👏 That generational blame game is catching up to you. Milennials have already gotten the mud on themselves.
Wait… 25. I heard recently from young people that under 30 is still just a kid who deserves leeway for mistakes and higher praise for accomplishments. So, free Brennard then? He is clearly just a child himself. 🙄
This was literally down then street from my house… it’s sad bro his just a kid man
!!aa
Whoa! What??
They'll give anyone a badge nowadays.
Can't even take a step forward before another one forces them three steps backwards. Poor kid was just eating a hamburger.
Kid had time to put the car in reverse and try running away? That's not something an innocent person does…something isn't adding up here
That kid probably thought he was getting car jacked. Who walks up to a car, opens the door, and demands him to get out of the car?!! The cop didn't identify himself by knocking on the window. Look at how scared this kids eyes were. This dude is insane. He needs the death penalty if this kid dies.
That clown 🤡 still now in prison?
Here we go. First George Floyd, now if this kid dies, it will be a riot like non other.
That SOB needs to be charged with murder
The fact that he opened fire when no one's lives were in immediate danger is disgusting. If he flees call for back up to pursue instead of you know shooting him multiple times for resisting arrest. Just another trigger happy cop.
This is why police need to be designated as terriost group
LMFAO! 😆
Cop was fired and charged with assault. Even the police union is not defend this officer.
My ? Why was this officer not charged with attempted murder?
1) I'm glad cop was very quickly fired.
2) Dislike he's out on bond.
3) PD should pay for kid's medical bills, now and future, including therapy.
4) Cop should be charged with murder.
Armed with a burger, obviously they haven't learned the lesson we learned from George Floyd
What happened to the burger?
"Lord I ask why! Why we gotta cry.. Sometime we gotta lie! Sometime we gotta fly.."
Kid deserved his demise. You do what the cops say and not try to run away! How hard is that to understand?? If you are falsely accused, you do what they say and take it up with the courts later WHEN YOU ARE STILL ALIVE!!!
More aggressive than cops in gta.
Notice the automatic lie that the suspect attempted to attack the cop… something every cop claims when beating/ shooting/ killing people.
Racist republican cop
#defundwhitepolice and hire more black cops.
In the camera footage, he just confronted the guy in the car, no introduction, no information, no reassurance about the situation. He simply said: “Get out the car” then a few seconds later starts shooting.
He wasn’t even a threat in anyway, did this cop skip training? Where was his logical thinking?
watch out he's got a burger!
Why run though I don't get it and I'm confused if you weren't doing anything wrong why run??
i say an eye for a eye
Let's see if this makes sense: The officer used deadly force when it wasn't warranted. The young man is accused of having done earlier crimes and had previously fled from the police.
The officer should've been fired, and face charges, but the young man's charges should not be dropped without investigation. Should he, and his family be compensated for his injuries? Yes. Should the officer be fired and charged? Yes. Should the young man's charges have been dropped because he was shot? No.
How to solve police brutality: instead of the taxpayers paying the huge lawsuits, have the lawsuit money collectively come from the retirements and pensions of ALL police officers. If they are the ones that actually have to foot the bill, let's see how quickly they turn on the bad apples
