  1. In my time it was called censorship. Today its redaction.
    It’s all the same.
    Hiding the truth.

    1. @SuperBeaver777 so investigating white cops that shoot a black man in the back is a witch hunt. Got it.

    2. @Lucky Baldwin burning down the city and going after cops at home is and yes it happens all the time… so I can see why they don’t want to release the deputies names yet, and why is it all about race? So if they were black cops you would be ok with it huh?

    3. Try being a conservative on social media and you’ll know it’s still called censorship.

    4. @Oliver Stone Cold Crazy

      George H.W. Bush once said: “If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched.”

    1. @James Quinlan yeah I bet that so-called law was passed by an all Republican legislature well the law needs to be changed and it needs to be challenged any law can be challenged just cuz they made it into law don’t mean s*** I’m a firm believer that any law can be generalized. Years ago in my state of Arkansas felons couldn’t vote whether they discharged out the door or on parole that was the law but guess what happened the long got changed to allow felons to vote not those on parole you said it works like this here people say where you hadn’t been to come in the crime then you gave up those right now well inmate gave a passion I mean form of convict gave a passionate speech to a bunch of voters of election day in front of a church and he went in not to vote to get some groceries because it was awesome the same day as they distribute food and food bank so when he went past the people mine and he stopped and said look man I can’t do s*** I’m a convict and convict can’t vote and then somebody said man that’s a cop out and the dude shut them down with one word pretty much he said y’all want the law change why don’t you change it and the next time I’ll vote for your candidate of your choice guess what those m************ right together and they put pressure on those f****** legislatures in the legislature said okay felons can vote except for parolees that’s because parolees are still in the prison supervision they’re allowed to go work and in some cases where ankle my little blah blah blah that’s it they only good enough to pay taxes they have no voice can’t carry no guns and the parole office can come in at any time make inspections cuz that’s an agreement sign in a contract.

    2. @Noel Fernandez He was known to have a history of resisting arrest. Better to question, how or why, was he able to drive away.

    3. @joe jose: It’s NOT evidence tampering. The original footage still exists for courts or a grand jury to review.

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

    2. @Luiz Alex Phoenix. You do not need authorization to record police officers. There is a Supreme Court case that states that citizens are allowed to record interactions with police.

    1. Homicide Count from 2011-2019:
      White on White : 23,801
      B on B : 22,060
      White on B : 1,978
      B on White : 4,423
      Why tf are you people so surprised that communities with these numbers have more problems with police?

  2. Cops are not done blanking the body cam TAPE and adding audio and getting their story straight!

    1. @Gio Valladares lol typical trump supporter I lost my proof, let me guess you saw it on Qanon? We were talking about deaths not justified or unjustified lol make up you’re mind? Either that or go back to you’re mommas basement.

    2. @Gio Valladares: I don’t think any serious people dispute the fact that more white people are killed by the police. The problem is UNARMED black men being killed by the police at a DISPROPORTIONATE RATE than white people.

    3. @Reason well look at the moron above you claiming what I’m saying is untrue. And if you take into account police interactions then white people are still killed disproportionately to black people.

      Either way, for the sake of argument, let’s say black people are killed disproportionately and it’s SOLELY due to racism. there are over 2 million police interactions every year. Less than 1200 deaths. Of those deaths only about 50 are unarmed suspects. Of those unarmed suspects only about 13-15 are black guys. If BLM cared about black lives they’d tackle real problems in the black community and not one this minuscule in the big picture.

    4. @jonathan gonzalez i have never voted for Trump and never would. Never been on Qanon. But you’ve shown your colors. Your NPC programming compels you. If you cared about the truth you’d find the numbers for yourself. Since you don’t care bout the truth why would I waste my time spoon feeding you information that you’re just going to vomit and not retain because it goes against your entire belief system?

    5. @Gio Valladares lol and what makes you’re source of information? Haha what makes yours accurate? Fox is literally getting sued for lying?

    1. @Altar of brutality: Unarmed black men getting killed by the police at a disproportionate rate IS A PROBLEM whether you think it’s racism or not.

    2. @Reason ok genius, did you read the warrant?? Dude was a plug. Now you tell me one plug who’s rolling up in a Beamer and is not strapped up. That’s just street smarts, I know you not that ignorant. Look this racist cop slaying innocent black men crisis is the most ignorant defense ever. The Hoods in New Orleans, Chicago, LA, Baltimore, and Houston killed more black men this passed week than police did in the last decade. If your racist cop theory is a crisis than the above must be a black Holocaust. Gtfoh with that nonsense.

    3. Romans 10:9
      If you declare with your mouth,Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved 🥳

  3. They have no problem wearing a badge, attacking and killing a man, and smearing his name, but they dont wanna show their faces?

    1. @Joel Rivard
      Taken from the proverb “a rotten apple spoils the bunch” has it origins from farming community.
      Put simply, it means if you do not remove it ASAP it will do what Benjamin Franklin said: “the rotten apple spoils his companion” and NEVER the other way around!

    2. @LeviFangirl 308 no but refining justice to mean finding a verdict of guilt is… That undermines the entire concept of innocent until proven guilty in court of law.

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

    2. @Chris Cox nonsense. They can release the video. The only reason it goes to the judge is because they won’t release it.

  4. *If there is video that proves I did nothing wrong- I would want the entire world to see ALL of it.*

    1. Awww what’s wrong, don’t get to dox someone for doing their job. The officer who saved the girl in pink didn’t do anything wrong but it didn’t stop the mob, specially LeBron James, from making themselves look stupid.

    2. Not exactly..imagine if mikyahs body cam didn’t pick up the knife but the neighbors garage cam did.

    1. Scott, first of the police didn’t do the shooting. The sheriff’s department did. And the body cam footage is in the hands of the SBI. The case is in the hands of the SBI…

    2. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

  5. So everyone has to wait until the cops delete or blur out everything they don’t want anyone else to see. I expect a completely blurred out video from first to last.

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

  6. It’s very telling they won’t release the video unless a judge orders it and it has to be redacted first.

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

    2. It’s an excuse. It wouldn’t take a judge this long either. They just don’t want another chauvin type verdict on their hands.

  7. Thank you to the young woman for telling us what she saw . It wasn’t an easy thing for her . I suspect she needs an attorney to keep bullies and worse away from her . We all need to be strong and stand up for what’s right .

  8. It’s amazing how quickly police can release civilian information within an hour, but have review everything concerning themselves

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

    2. @Rob Dark Not at all, I’m an anarchist. I don’t want any form of government. Just educating the uneducated.

    3. Preach it
      Romans 10:9
      If you declare with your mouth,Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved 🥳

  9. They must be trying to hide something!Business owners, you better board up your property. I have a feeling when the truth is finally revealed, all hell’s gonna break loose!

    1. It isn’t their choice. NC law is that a judge has to decide wether or not to release the tape and what can be shown. It has nothing to do with the department.

    2. Yes, they ARE hiding something….faces of officers who work undercover. As well as anything that might reveal their sources and methods and any details about an ongoing investigation.

    3. @Chris Cox stop with the copy and paste to every fomment lmao only middle schoolers do that crap. Get back to class kiddie so you cant be taught about some of the most redacted history in the world. Lmfao losers all of you.
