  1. Dude swallowed his dope and OD cuz of it i bet. Dude played Russian roulette and lost can't blame anyone else but himself.

  2. Responsible adults need to take accountability for their actions , if you swallow a dog turd , you will have stinky breath , that's your fault .

  3. Dumb enough to do drugs, then die. Sad but true.

  4. Dude killed himself, end of story. Milwaukee's safer, be grateful.

  5. The chief tried protecting his officers by lying. The officers lied. Everyone lied. Clean house and start fresh.

  6. Here we go again. Killed while dark brown with a phone, subway sandwich, crossing the road…

    America where a dark brown man sleeping in a car is shot 16 times by police but a pink man waving a hammer is asked to put it down.

    Where a pink intruder breaks into someone's house, falls asleep in someone's bed and is gently awakened by police and asked to leave.

    A global response to America's human rights abuses is well overdue.

  7. He was a father…………… but still ingested drugs…..and this is the "fault" of the police?

  8. did the whole precinct come out of the break room to gawk?

  9. Od on drugs, but it's someone else fault you died?

  10. And nothing will change………

  11. let the overdose happen, get the freaks off the soil.

  12. If Lopez was a white correctional officer he wouldn't have gotten fired, instead he would have gotten a promotion.

    "Good job white people, continue the cycle."

  13. 0:56 WTF 25 cops there and no one CHECKED this on young man?????? what were they doing eating donuts🤔

  14. 1. They really need to clean their sh!t up cos.all these wrongful deaths and lawsuit are very, very costly. 2. Misconduct? The guy should be fired and charged with a list of felony charges.

  15. It is so strange. I am willing to bet they would not want to be treated this way, when and if the servants are in need. I wonder why.

  16. Dishonest cops… who'd a thought?! 😬

  17. SO SICK OF THE DRUG ADDICTS KEEP THEM OFF THE STREETS!! Good job LE

  18. 🥱
    I have no empathy for criminals or drug addicts💨🤡
