Thank you sister officer for standing up. If the other 3 officers did that GF would still be here. All you coward officers should resign immediately, because this moment is exposing your lack character. You're not a real police officer.
Thank you, Krystal Smith, for being an example of proper conduct by a police officer and for taking a stand against abuse of authority
GovHowardDean I'm curious if she had a higher rank than the other officer. Seems that every time a person stands up for rights of the people it is a black woman. Bree Newsome, the nurse in Baton Rouge, Kamala Harris & other unsung heroines. Vote 4 women but never a republican woman.
Accountability is needed. 👏👏
That's what we do! 👏🏾🤷🏾♀️
Cnn is so garbage. How can you not see how the media is dividing everyone. They want this. It’s good for their ratings. Cnn is actually promoting this.
Looks like she caught another bad cop!
Bien hecho! 😬

The women are really standing up for us. I'm talking all nationalities of women are really standing strong.
Protesters should demand Trump be removed from his Presidency ASAP. He has been the biggest dividing force in the US since 2016 - racist, sexist, xenophobic madman hellbent on making his narcissistic fantasies come true. If there ever was a US ‘Hitler,’ it’s him in disguise.
Do protesters usually wear masks? All these riotors in masks... Take away the anonymity, there will be accountability. Protests Riots Protesters Rioters Police Accountability Peace PeacefulProtest PortlandProtest PDX LOVE News
