Man why did he run? Not saying he deserves any of this but had he only listened and given up his pride he would be alive and could have sued them for excessive force after the fact. Now he’s dead…

May he rip 🙏🏾💙

Whites males don't move the meter as I just posted numbers as a white male Im jaded that more of us get killed yearly but no one cares or upset that media is for ratings ,we should hold our police in contemp I'm glad 'BlackLivesMatter' because it seems like ours not so much

💔😢

🌹😇

Why did he resist arrest? One wouldn't happen without the other ...

It’s 2023 and we've got a resurgence of anti-semitism, the real-time genocide of Ukraine and currently, videos of the lynching of a young black man by 5 black cops. We’re moving so far backwards, I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to recover. God help us all.

Black on black on black on black crime is the White's fault. Nope! Move on BLM

Cops are only human u can lose it dealing with knucklehead loser criminals put me on jury solid not guilty

Why does a scorpion unit need to perform traffic stops?

they need to rot in prison for this. smh
