White on white crime? Really ALL lives matter!

Police lives matter

Wait, why was he awarded a purple heart?

Thank goodness hug police will be replacing police officers. This sort of thing will never happen then! lollollol

So sad for the Officer's family. We need a full investigation into the circumstances of this situation to be revealed to the public. Every aspect should be made open to the public until the suspects are sentenced. Too often white on white crime is not well publisized

My heart was racing already to make sure they not POC..coz a whole loads of people would be disappointed and some would be happy that is POC..why killing a cop...🙄

Maybe Joe Biden will be there to assist that funeral too

Yet the sad thing about this is that if Mr. Johnson would have shot Mr. Ware, protesters around the world would have made him a freaking super hero. Unfortunately the times are upon us to expect this kind of behavior. God Bless the officer who passed away and his family

Thank you for your service Officer Craig Johnson. Overwhelmingly Police are the Guardians of a Civil Society, they endure collective abuse from the actions of a few. We ask everything of these good men & women, even life. We can never forget their sacrifice. ThinBlueLine

No one should ever kill a cop. They don't bother you unless you do something stupid.

3 issues about this 'Traffic Stop' gone awry: 1. What was the traffic offense for the stop? 2. Why is it that the Taser & Pepper spray didn't work; with the Taser, this is a common statement. 3. Is there body camera video if they had the camera; or was there a dashboard camera.

And this is why unarmed social workers cannot replace police. MayorOfLA GavinNewsom

I'm glad they captured the perpetrators. This sounds like a death penalty case if there ever was one. 🙏🏻

Thank you for your service.

White men, I assume. Or y'all would pay their pics errrrrrr where

😪

Can you believe Colin & his celebrity pals think he was a Pig.

Working in law-enforcement is extremely dangerous and the pay is horrible considering their lives are on the line every single day. God Bless.

Funny how the murderer & the accomplice are in jail without any protesting or investigation first! Funny how 2 white men are in jail for this crime and weren’t killed, yet a black or Hispanic would have been shot at the scene. 🤔 Makes you think.

Judge Jane C. Barwick reasoned that Garrett Rolfe is not a danger to the community or a flight risk. This is fucking ridiculous. Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman are currently sitting in federal prison without bond for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a empty NYPD squad car. They are facing a at least 45 years in prison up till life in prison. WajahatAli Oh, OK. It’s just that he killed an unarmed man. Shot that man in the back, twice, in fact. No risk?! Maybe not anymore... He has the dead soulless gaze of a murderer.
