Defund the................oh, wait......
ABC News is awful
Meet Mr. Lopez. Are you going to apologize for telling us initially it was 'white supremacists', or will you just ignore your lie and carry on until it's time to lie again? Asking for a friend 🤡
It’s odd, to say the least, that these murderers are arrested and not shot or killed in some manner when they’re armed but a black man with a fake $20 bill is murdered.
Very good
Yeah, I also hope they stop the bullshit that got a 20 month year old shot in Chicago.
You’re really hesitant to admit it was a blm supporter lol. ABC news used to be great but you’re a joke now.
“Fatally injured”?
The cops let him go because they knew he was going to kill people eventually!!! The family of the deceased should sue the hell outta them!!! This was all planned... By the police!!
An idile hand is the devils workshop..
Thanks Mr President
No mention of the race of suspect? The suspect is not white... ProveMeWrong
BLM press release: false alarm
Bravo for arresting this evil
IT WAS ONE OF THEY OWN !!! BWAAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA
Callus hearts are asking where are the protesters rather than offering condolences to the families. My condolences to the family may these boys RIP. May his murderer be brought to swift justice. God help us.
Why aren't the races revealed? Normally thats your focus
Lopez? The white Supremacists half of twitter insisted he was? Shocking.
Oh. He'd been arrested twice before on rioting charges. Guess 3rd times a charm huh? Why are these violent fucks let outta jail so fast. TOTAL FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP
Maybe they shouldn't be harassing people, these riots have gone too far they were never peaceful protest.
They find out it’s not some KKK guy so nobody gives a shit anymore because it doesn’t fit their narrative
Homeless Hispanic guy
