adamgoldmanNYT Guess he could have shot him for resisting, if he feared for his life. That’s what women cops are allowed to do.

What’s interesting and profound is…society never see black cop(s) violate protocol and violently assault white suspects. Or even shoot suspects holding a cellphone or killing someone just walking home at night because of a bigot homeowner call 911🤔

Good I hope he gets street justice in general population

MFKR🤦🏻‍♀️

Good!

adamgoldmanNYT Bout damn time...

If the victim was white it wouldn’t matter, right? It always has to be about race for the leftists. That’s all they’ve got to offer.

Good. The police and Court's are more crooked than the crooks. That includes DAs and judges. It's time they are held accountable for their actions.

Anything to deflect from the Arizona audit results

Omg the Gestapo rides again. Sickening!

Mean time Lt Byrd, the black officer who shot and killed a white woman for no reason, will not be charged

It’s not breaking news because it happened. Sadly it’s too common. It’s breaking news because he was actually charged. Accountability is required.

DavidBegnaud I hope he fries...

He got hos THRILL. They don't appear to care about what follows.

Some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses.

😲How about we just Applaud the Good cops and prosecute the ones who break the law🤔

Oh. You are fucked, sir. Bye.

There is so much rage and violent tendencies in southern white men. Sad that people go through such a short life with so much anger in them.

DavidBegnaud He will get probation since it’s only a flashlight. He might get a couple months at most if he actually shot the guy he beat. It’s called white justice.

More evidence that the USA needs PoliceReformNow!

Thanks for sharing the race of all involved so I know whether or not to be outraged.

If convicted he needs to stay in gen pop.

This has he's been going on in Louisiana for decades. The cops there are basically a violent gang who hurt, rob, or even kill whoever they want. Glad to see that FINALLY one of these jackboots is facing the music.

Big difference between a teen runaway and a geologist who went out on his own. Why does it always come back to color?

Vaccine mandates put Black Lives Matter activists on collision course with DemocratsBlack people are less likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19, even though the pandemic has taken a disproportionate toll on them. Dems have been oppressors since 1800s Everyone should have the right to choose but, when the health of the nation is at stake, the needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few or the one. It makes no sense to risk catching this variant & winding up on a ventilator or dead when a proven vaccine is available.
