So sad

What are the group of policemen? they are our safeguards in people's daily lives. To err is human. Please do not let one mistake be a drive to lose trust in all of those who have been trying to protect the women and kids, the elderly, and the disabled persons.

Some people become wild while animals are domesticated.

What's that saying, kick'em while their down. This was a cowardly act.

You guys are unreal. The division and hate you’re promoting will come back to bite you in the butt. By all means, keep it coming though. trampsrentasglass

We all know how this is going to end. Turns out the officers had to initiate violence because they feared it would be initiated on them. It was an 'officer safety' issue. Which is a phrase cops use to excuse their crimes. 'stop resisting' another lie they're trained to repeat.

Police do it because they can!!!!

Everyone who wants to end police departments I have an experiment for you. We do it in 1 city for a year. No police what so ever. You move there and see how you do after a year. Just remember if you need help from crime there’s no one to call. Enjoy!

Awesone! Too bad he survived!!

To serve & to protect?!? That's a joke😒 It appears some do not care anymore. They know they will get away with whatever they do. PoliceBrutality

MAIN STEAM MEDIA, THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS AND THE DEEP STATE ELITES INVOKE RACE NARRATIVES TO DIVIDE US AND FEAR TO CONTROL US. THEY SHOULD ALL BE ACCOUNTABLE! TRUMP 2020🇺🇸 USA UNITE

300 plus police was injured by protesters, one cop was hit with a fire extinguisher. Retire police captain shot and killed by protester.

This is awful. I really want to know why they fired into the crowd

What the hell is wrong with cops. We were taught to go to them for help. As adult I've suffered abuse from cops and I am a white lady. I stand for George Floyd and his family.

Gee....I wonder....what would make the shoot....mmm..you got me! No answer!

The answer is because it was Texas that is why.

Gadem savages

Thug-cops and Killer-cops... Fire them, charge them, prosecute them etc. - cops are not above the law ! 😠 We all have HadEnough, we are fed up of being thugs' hostages! We want PoliceReformNow.

It sounds like WW3 has already broken out in the USA .

He should have stayed at home.

Those who call for these violent protests couldn't care less about black on black crime.

fake mews.

brat2381 I'll answer that question, it's because acab

They've launched an investigation? An internal investigation? So, they're trying to decide whether they're gonna charge themselves with a crime... sounds like B.S.
