The cop looks like he’s 12. Clearly lacks de-escalating skills to talk someone down. Once again, wrong man (boy) for the job and lack of training. On the flip side we all need to listen and respect each other. Everyone on that porch could have done better.

Maybe he was scared ? ! ? Or maybe felt attacked ? ! ? Or maybe he just wanted to see if IT Worked or Not ? ! ? Or maybe he needs to find a New Profession ? ! ? Do Garbagemen get to use Tasers or Guns ? ! ?

Hope he goes free did right thing! Poor white officer blm bs once again ruining the country!

So once again the news media is using race as headlines? Yet they never mention anything about race when a BLACK guy killed a WHITE kid!!

Makes you wonder how many times he got away with doing the same simply because there was no video of those incidences.

Good old GA. And cops continue to think we don't respect them enough

So why did he tase her? You left that out.

He was an asshole. He assaulted her and he should be fired and arrested.

Well, another day in Redneckville, Georgia 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😏

People are dying from his ignorance and Kemp isnt the legit Gov. The only guy stupider than this guy is GovRonDeSantis , the stupidest Governor in the United States. That means Kemp is the second stupidest Governor in the United States. Had to spell it out so both these guys understand my tweet.

Black Newborns Are 3 Times More Likely to Die When Treated by White DoctorsBlack newborns are three times as likely to die as their white counterparts in the U.S. But according to a sweeping new study, the race of the mother’s doctor could also have a bearing on her child’s survival I haven't read the study itself. It's a large, long-term retrospective cohort study in one state, so there are inherent limitations. The point made IS valid, but one would need to be careful about extrapolating the details to all states. Some could be better, others worse!
