Atlanta did this to itself!

Hope they gave him his gun back !!

should have to pay him for wrongful imprisonment

I can't believe how many people think that this means charges were dropped. He's out on bond. He has to go back for his trial. 99% of people arrested are given the option for bond. I know people are stupid but...damn.

Good

ABC...This is Mr Anderson His 19 year-old son was killed in CHAZ. No one could help. No one explained the shooting to him or his family No cares from your network Doesn’t fit your narratives of racial/ party division. But yet, BLM ? ABC is the epitome of fakenews !!!

How do stone cold white boy killers get bail? Oh.....the south.

Not right at all.

He better take a lawnmower with him when he goes to prison because his ass is grass💯

Vote out the judge who released him.

Good for him.

🤮

A tearful plea from the widow of the man who went to prison for beating her and abusing their children, who she had not seen for 6 years, and who was out partying with his girlfriend that night 😂😂

He acted in self defense, what did y’all expect?

ABC a sick media company always emphasise race, in this case, a white officer, why not just an officer sick news!!! sick news!!!

This is how it’s supposed to work people, settle tf down.

Hes walking. And he should

Good!!!!

Do the idiots who are pretending like this guy did something wrong think that the police should just stand there and let people kill them? It's not like this man has people to live for or anything! Morons..

He would have been safer in jail, now he has a million people that want him rather than a few.

Good....he has a right to bond out. They have unfortunately chosen him to make a political statement, especially by the DA who is under investigation and is up for re-election.

The guy’s gonna walk, and the racist system will prevail. America is just so messed up.

RT often No Martyr Wrong choice to use criminals as role models

At least he is not having a nice time, other police officers may think twice before they pull their trigger on people. They think black lives worth nothing

Another police officer defends his life and other people lives in the community doing his job Yet a DA played politics ruining an officer's career Is the DA still under investigation? BacktheBlue

Unbelievable. Although it sounds like this scumbag would have been safer in jail. Karma never forgets an address.

Rayshard Brooks is a trash human being and I am glad he's dead 😁😄😆😃😀🤗🤭

Who helped him pay his bond ?

Good ! This very good police officer deserves a steak dinner in one of the finest 5 star restaurants in Atlanta for doing his job Instead he'll get a Kangaroo Court ran by the Neo-Communists and it's propaganda wing like ABC who already found this good police officer guilty

I cannot wait for this guy to sue the city of Atlanta over this sham trial.

Unacceptable!

He will be acquitted at trial. Then Atlanta will burn, because a DA was overzealous to hide his own corruption investigation.

When has a murderer ever been let out on bond?

This is good news. The charge was a political hatchet job. The cop should sue the DA who brought the charges

Since when can you post bond on a murder charge?

Not Guilty!

Here's the Taser Challenge. Let me shoot you in the face with a Taser. Then tell me it's a toy.

He will find no peace. Now he can go hide in a gutter somewhere until his court date.

poll Do they really do time?

Slap in the face! 50,000 bond? he won't see the court for 5years then charges magically disappear.

You are innocent until proven guilty unless you are a cop.

He could have called a taxi for the guy. Instead he shot him.

This is what happens with shows like LawAndOrder that make it easy for injustice like this to happen.

Keep him away from the sharp objects & firearms until his trial.

Of course he was🙄

Unreal. Send an innocent man to jail

Biden just stated he will not defund the police.

He looks like a serial killer

Blue Lives Murder

Sounds about white.
