sistertoldjah Do what Chicago did. Send a helicopter with a bomb on it that destroyed the neighborhood.

Don't care.

This should be headline news

You know what would solve this? More guns in the hands of permitless unchecked Americans. To be blunt: it sucks to be either a POC or a policeman these days. Thanks NRA and GOP

CNN and LeBron thinks it's the sheriff's fault

Based on the coverage or lack of, I’m guessing the suspect was not white. How’d I do? Am I right?

Idek what to say, seems like we have 4 of these a week. Serious change needs to happen.

Live by the sword; die by the sword.

Damn let’s riot. Oh wait.....

Good job Obama and the media

Hhjyt. H

It’s a revenge killing

It’s a different approach by law enforcement when the suspect is actually armed with a lethal weapon…without one, likely would have been shot dead unarmed by now.

So sick of this crap....Congress DO something!!! GunControlNow NRAisaTerroristOrganization

Which one is the good guys with guns?

Support your policeforce, rather than attack them.

Out of curiosity. Prior to extreme gun control lobbying, does anyone have the statistics of how much gun violence/how many mass shootings we’ve had and how the increase in Gun Control push correlates be it good or bad to the level of actual gun violence? Curious to know

Dear God😢😢 🙏🙏🙏.. . with all of the news tonight Sadly this barely got a mention.....

Maybe sheriff’s office should use thoughts and prayers to resolve this issue. That’s what they tell us when our kids get killed in schools
