Nice 👍

Smh these are the blue lives matter that racist love to see

Equally as disturbing is the public’s loss of trust in officials to carry out their sworn duties. Not only in the case of this police officer but the entire criminal justice system. It’s like the public see officials as the criminals & officials are desensitized to public opinion

Was the victim okay…? Cus that’s what’s important

Back the blue errrrrr

😬🙄😳

1 out the of many 1000's... hater's will hate... losers!!!

Left the scene so he couldn’t be drug/alcohol tested. See Ravnsborg, South Dakota.

You should of gotten rid of it

Wow this is insane

Cop gone bad.

Oh I'm sure his attorney will say it was the pedestrian's fault. Pat

This happened on November 1st. Exactly what is taking so long for the Newark Police Department to fire him?

How do you know he didn't take the victim to his home to treat his wounds and mend him back to health? You can clearly see his concern in the photo. He took an oath to protect and serve. Clearly that's what he was doing. RESPECT THE THIN BLUE LINE!

These Trump voters think they’re above the law. Hopefully a life sentence will be coming.

good

this is just crazy i read this, how you guna kill someone and drive around with them in your backseat to go get advice at home? What you needed a snack and a shower first before going back and dealing w mess you made there? SMH people..

New Zealand PM Ardern says prepared for new COVID-19 variantsNew Zealand is well prepared for the discovery of new coronavirus variants that may be resistant to vaccines, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday, including the strain currently spreading in South Africa. Hmm how did it spread? 🤔 because we have vaccine mandates for traveling?! So the vaccinated gang are spreading it....so overly vaccinated with booster after booster that the virus built immunity... I see some people are having a melt down because one of the most successful countries against covid just said they are prepared for the mutation also.... Relax it's not about your feelings it's about new Zealand.... Please stop this. It’s irresponsible reporting. It’s not spreading in SA. SA have globally lauded scientists. They discovered it, unlike other countries who are either slack, or deliberately conceal, developments.
