  1. This is absolutely disgusting. If you want to continue to penalize officers for enforcing the law, you will get officers who will not enforce the law. This CRIMINAL resisted arrest, tried to kill 2 police officers, and aimed a weapon at an officer. What more do you want? You can no longer complain when officers do nothing – they can now see that if they do, you will arrest them!

    Shame on Atlanta, Fulton County, and everyone who is on the anti-cop bandwagon.

    1. @Julian Rocha Just look for whatever organization is the opposite of Crime Stoppers if you want to help this officer so bad

    2. @Bengie Teng there was no threat or lethal weapon — no training should teach you how to shoot people who aren’t a threat. Even in the military you suffer consequences for what these dimwit cops did. Remember: we’re not punishing them for being stupid, we’re punishing them for being wrong.

    3. @thesweatleaf he got a taser in his hand he even turn around to shoot it to the police, which video did you watched? go on stretch your imagination and make yourself believe that he didn’t do anything that will caused him to get arrested, and make yourself belief too that its ok to resist and steal a weapon to a police and get away with it.,

    4. @Bengie Teng you gotta consider the officer statements — police admitted they knew the taser was spent and could not be refired

  2. Yes everyone has forgotten 911 who helped the firemen…cops they risked their lives to help white black asian Americans etc that were in cement holes and steel holes. Remember 911 there was no racism there was there🇺🇸🇺🇸I now tell my family never to be a cop let them fend for themselves let them dig themselves out of holes Men 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Which 9/11? The overthrow of President in Chile and where tanks of American militias fired on law makers? Or the one in New York where israli Mossad committed to invade 7 countries?

    1. USA Today and every branch of the news media wants a civil war. keep your eyes on the truenemy. Also just so everybody knows, the news channels on youtube have fake accounts ran by their station to incite sht.

    2. No civil war. Please no civil war. Just change the training of these damn corrupt cops and its system in your local area.

    1. Mob Rules kick out this racist prosecutor who is race beating and fueling a war. And the. Sue the media and ban any use of ‘race’ i. News headlines.

    1. @The Clickbait Guy He actually fired the taser at the police officer… The shoot is justified.

    2. @Matthew Keenan The cop uh officer actually fired at the deceased citizen. Innocent until proven guilty.

  3. Just look at the dislikes and comments of this video and other videos related to this murder charge. That’s all you need to see to know how everyone feels about this.

  4. Remember when the media labeled a taser as a deadly weapon? Like hundreds of times actually. Don’t attempt to shoot a cop with a taser if you’re not planning on getting shots yourself.

  5. I’m thinking about getting really drunk tonight and passing out in a Wendy’s drive through. I want to see what happens.

    1. @aknod1 And me, i’m bringing my gun. So Don’t fell asleep ANYWHERE i will be on earth…

  6. You guys have to “stream” this and keep re uploading because you are afraid of the dislikes and truth.

  7. Why do they keep deleting the dislikes on this site? last time I was here it was above 4.5 dislikes.

  8. They want war, we will give them war. Defending a child abuser is really sign of end of times.
