'Walking While Black?': Shocking Video Has Police Under Fire For killing Unarmed Black Man
Interacting with Police is lethal, jaywalking, not so much.
Iam from East Africa This is painful to See Every day going Back in Africa 🌍
I am white. Can’t tell you how many times I have jaywalked. I was never stopped. This is insane!! This needs to end!!
You have the complexion for the protection
@Sarah Jane you probably have the complexion for the protection
@Brian Jones you have the complexion for the protection….Blacks have the complexion for the inspection 👀
@Brian Jones The cops weren’t bothered about him on the road, They just wanted to identify him. Did you not hear the cops talking before they drove to him?
@Brian Jones You’re the embarrassment!! People who can watch this sh-t and have no human reaction are not human!! One day you’ll be standing alone!! Hard to believe you can stand at all without a spine!! I know many deplorable s’more human than you, you dope!!
It’s like they were lying in wait for him. Not like, “Oh no, this guy’s jaywalking in a busy intersection, someone could’ve gotten hurt! We need to give him a warning.” The place is deserted and the cops are bored.
@Brian Jones yes cuz black people never get murdered by the police
@Lominoth Productions No I don’t think they get “murdered” by police
@Brian Jones so then what? He was attacked of his own volition? He purposely shot himself with the officers gun for kicks?
@Lominoth Productions He clearly was engaged in a struggle with the police
@Brian Jones …. you either have not watched enough footage of these ‘ murders’ OR you are TROLLING !!!
Time for some research … 👍✊
This is so hard to watch. I feel so sorry for him.
@Brian Jones Nope, it was the cops’ fault.
@Daniel Hawthorn Serious question. It’s not clear to me from the video who initiated the struggle but if he had just answered the cops questions and not tried to resist would he be home right now?
@Brian Jones you must be white you will never understand
@Jonathan Quinonez I am and probably not
@Brian Jones @Brian Jones is an A$$ White Supremest sympathizer!! But primarily an A$$!
Only in America can you die from JAYWALKING but not from a car but the police.
He stood up for himself. That was his only ‘crime’–the cops came out of nowhere and got up in his face and Reinhold was indignant. He was angry and had every right to be and if he were white he’d probably be Zooming with his lawyer right now about filing a complaint.
BS them pigs lied as usual!! Always with ” he’s grabbing my gun” KEEP EARNING THE HATE
Yeah, that was blatant premeditated murder. He made a decision to go for it, he decided to murder that man.
He grabbed his gun, no matter what color you are you will be shot
@Kennedy Suggs you talking crap!
I’m sorry, but this is not the law, this is murder. These officers had no right to even interact with this man, they killed him
Oh so horrible so sorry. condolences to his friends and family.
Why does this happen when the people who stormed the capital went to hotel s , got on planes, when they should have been arrested THAT day. They attempted to over throw the government.. our country… but where let to leave? That’s b.s
@Brian Jones Cops should have opened fire on those traitors. Their actions deserved lethal force not this man for jay walking. Bet your one of those fake a$$ patriots
@Brian Jones F YOU @Brian Jones! F YOU! Human much!!!
@eruis 313 I really don’t see what you see honestly. Guy would be fine if he didn’t try to fight the cops
@Free Thinker No I wasn’t at the capital
@zan Lehman Cool
Police officer should be charged with murder
How the eff is he dead when, a bunch of white men stormed the Capitol and killed a cop 😡😡😡😡
@Brian Jones Liar, Liar, Liar just like ur racist cult leader Drumph.
@ken gordon lol ok
@Brian Jones go away racist punk!! Good riddance!!
@zan Lehman Someone is big mad about facts 😎😎😎😎😎😎 Make America Great Again
@Brian Jones Look @ you imp!!
People will only take so much. Since the justice system won’t protect us, we’ll start protecting ourselves
The world is watching the decline of the US.
They’ve been like this. This ain’t nothing new.
Couldn’t just leave it at a verbal warning. The guy wasn’t even interrupting traffic. Now he’s dead.
1990- “He’s got a gun!” Bang bang bang!
2021- “He’s got my gun!” Bang bang bang!
Cops be saying ” I fear for my life”
Not realizing the unarmed black man they’re attacking “fear for his life” as well.
totally disturbing and disgusting. I hope the new attorney general will clean up our government offices.
