Say his name BILLY EVANS, a good man a Capitol officer killed by a member of the Nation of Islam in a racist hate crime. Give him the honor accorded to him. Where is the outrage, respect and protests?

How if it were a white man you would mention that first thing. He was a black man converted to Islam and loved farrakhan. Like boulder, he was brown Syrian muslim let in by obama and killed 10 white people.

Oh shit. Ban high capacity sedans. weneedmorestrictcarlaws banassaultvehicles

He was one black guy, nothing compared to all the white ppl who caused major damage to the white house

The perp was a black supremacist Farrakhan lackey. But that doesn't fit your narrative

Good fuck the pigs

Is there footage of the crash? Police declaring 'A black guy did it' means nothing to me in 2021.

is going to say his drive to the capital was mostly peaceful. mostlypeaceful

I think what you mean to say is: 'black man kills white police officer.' As that's what the headline would read if circumstances were to have happened inversely.

That moment when you think you can still hide the identity of the murderer by only talking about the person they killed

You done fucked up again cnbc You’re killer car was actually a black man with Islamist ideologies.. oh yeah, and a knife- what “they” consider heroes

when will they tell you it was a black nationalist terrorist? they won't because that's against their feelings. :))

Please don't forget to mention that the man who murdered a Caucasian cop was a black Muslim the way you vilify white Christians at every chance when the opposite happens.

Huh, no mention of the suspects race or alt left beliefs. Nope. Nothing to see here folks. If the leftwing media can't blame white ppl then why report the story? Unbelievable

Where's my tax refund? It's been six weeks.😤😡 People get killed all the time by police shit they just killed a 13 yr old but what ever, where's my money?

Oh, I thought they wanted to defund the police, now since it's them, thy are not okay with sitting down and talking it out with the bad guy? For common people different rules, for them different set.

Did the car remain on scene and cooperate with authorities?

People such as Billy would be a Patriot to Ivanka Trump.

Suspect was Black and member of Nation of Islam, liberal won’t tell you this

The driver is probably a Ken Paxton fanboy, ISIS, or both. Ken Paxton is about to declare his One God, One Religion Caliphate any day now.

Why aren’t you telling us the type of car it was?

No confíe en la plataforma ETORO, me perdieron el dinero, me pidieron que les proporcionara algunos documentos que el banco no tenía y luego siguieron repitiendo la oferta.

Has the media found out what race the driver is yet, so they know who, or what, to blame?

Show us the pic of the man with the MAGA hat and terrible beard
