I guess they didn't like being considered poor..

Prayed 🙏 for officer & family. It is hard in the world,when one is just doing it’s job, rather it be in whatever career. Please get a robot DOG to deal with checking on people & warrants to deliver, or body armor, tank! It is ashame! 🙏

it's always police who shoot others first!

the victim obviously feared for his life and was just following his will to survive

That’s terrible and I hope they catch the person who committed the crime and he stands trial for that crime with a jury of his peers reviewing the case and reaching a verdict. I don’t trust the court system but I’m told I should so there ya go.

BLM and Democrat’s. This is their fault. If the Democrat’s would have condemned the BLM instead of praising them. If the Democrat’s didn’t turn on the police with agreeing with a terrorist organization BLM to defund, police would be safe.

Don't waste a good cop, always send in a Social worker with a sharp pencil for welfare check.

Nah, need to hear ALL the facts, the WHOLE story. Far too many times, cops show up to a scene with their fuking ego's on 10 and start barking orders like rabid dogs and totally escalate the situation.

10:15 pm check. Who called for the check and why? Too many unanswered pieces of the puzzel.

🙁

Welfare and domestic abuse are the worst calls for police.

Prayers for divine healing!

Social workers? Sw walks in home of mentally and physically abused child every month. Fridge has food, house clean.. all good here. Meanwhile, Cops called multiple times per month to take parent to hospital in drunken rage.. The system is flawed

More people getting shot every day it’s wild.

Absolutely horrible. Hope the cop pulls through

Back our boys in blue

We're going to need to see the toxicology report and complete background investigation from birth until now on the cop before we rush to judgment. Gangs wearing those colors have a reputation for violence all across the country. He probably used the Marijuanas once as a teen.

Johnson County Magistrate Judge Daniel Vokins explained this week during a Zoom eviction hearing that he doesn't think the moratorium that was issued last year by the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is enforceable. Eric Dunn, director of litigation for the National Housing Law Project, said he has heard of judges ignoring the CDC moratorium including in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, but didn’t know how widespread the practice was. Sad to say but this about to be so many people at the end of this month. Sorry. Go back to work and pay your mort/rent. I have worked and paid my mort/bills thru the whole thing...without a dime from the gov. Oh yea..I finished HS. Got a job. Got married. Had kids. I think you get it...I started with less than zero by the way.

A Man In A Pickup Truck Hit Several Cyclists At A Bike Race And Drove Away, Before Being Shot By PoliceAt least seven people are in critical condition, a city official told BuzzFeed News, and are being treated at hospitals. Make the sidewalks wider with a bike lane curb high enough to deter vehicles from going in the lanes. I hate bicyclists with a passion cuz they use the rules when it’s convenient for them.
