  1. This video is about as informative as a dead frog. Let’s get more specifics before you go reporting on something. You can see this media outlet is just trying to spread upset and disinformation about the police. Disgusting.

    1. @C W Because if they only have partial information it can cause riots or as in Kyle Rittenhouse, put an innocent kid in jail. Sky news showed the video of Kyles shooting, but stopped the video just before it showed the guts bashing him in the head. Also, another one muted the gunshots while Kyle was running that caused him to fear for his life and led to his first shooting. The media has repeatedly done partial reporting to start chaos.

    2. And way would they want to do that? I know hundreds of reporters, they don’t want to spread lies. THey just want to tell what they see. Some people lie some some don’t. White House????

    3. If you are reading this, stay strong, healthy, safe, and don’t lose hope. We will overcome 2020’s adversities soon with kindness, resilience and resistance. During these dark times there is always hope in the middle of the fear. There are good news: God promises to be with you because he loves you. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16. I just want to let everyone know that Jesus loves you with a passion more than you can imagine. Its never too late in this life to put your trust in him. Cast all your burdens on Jesus because he cares for you. If you’ve got pain
      He’s a pain taker
      If you feel lost
      He’s a way maker
      If you need freedom or saving
      He’s a prison-shaking Savior
      If you’ve got chains
      He’s a chain breaker.
      Don’t let your heart be troubled in these times.
      I wish you the best day.

    4. @God is Love because people are scared, foolish, hate filled, idiots…. seriousy, its not the media’s fault that people cant control themselves & wait to get more information before they take to the streets armed & shooting people.. do you realize people didnt do this when they had to wait until the next morning for the paper… or when news was only on at 10pm, not 24/7 & no internet… people were a hell of alot smarter when we had no immediate way to know things

    1. @Adi Aknin as much as i dispise fox, at least they five biased info. Biased info, while nearly useless, is better than no info

  2. So you really have no information. But you’re sure to highlight “officer-involved” shooting. And you wonder why people hate the media.

    1. If people haven’t noticed yet these news outlets are only reporting officers shooting minorities that’s it they don’t care what the facts are they don’t care what the other person did they don’t care if a cop shot a white person they’re not going to report that they’re only going to report what pushes their agenda and that’s how you get a whole country of brain dead sheep being manipulated by propaganda and I’m not saying there’s no such thing as racist cops I’m simply saying get all the facts of what happened from start to finish and base your opinions on logic and not emotions

    2. @Tarik M. most people are idiots and would believe that an officer was in the wrong, especially now. The story is told with just enough to get across something happened but gives no context. Only enough info for the idiot masses to extrapolate and go into a fury. That’s their tactic. That way they can say, “well we’re not TECHNICALLY wrong!”.

      Allegedly dead bodies. I guess we assume guilt immediately when the suspect is black, but always assume innocent until proven guilty when the suspect is white. Even then, how am I supposed to know someone is committing illegal activity behind my back and using me as a decoy without my knowledge or consent? In that case that makes me the victim, and yet I still get shot for someone else’s crime? Proof that the system is fundamentally flawed.

    2. @Almighty God George Soros #420 #GetRekd no because its on the court documents it was in her name. Learn how to research idiot

      Blaming Floyd’s death on a non-overdose of opioid is like saying someone died of bleeding rather than admitting the bleeding was caused by the stabbing. Or a better example would be someone putting a pillow over the face of an elderly senile person and blaming the old person’s dose of Xanax (for sleep) as the root of the breathing failure. Also, if the Fentanyl dose had been even the slightlest lethal he would’ve been dead long before the cops arrived. It doesn’t take long for a strong opioid to stop a person’s heart. He would’ve been a corpse by the time the cops arrived. Sounds like you don’t really understand how drugs work.

      This scenario sounds right to you?:

      “Hey, this person looks under the influence of some type of downer substance, and they are breathing heavily and slurring their speech as a result. Maybe I should put my body’s entire weight on this potentially overdosing person’s neck. That’s a good idea. Wait, why is this person desperately flopping his body on the ground and gasping for air? He must be trying to resist arrest! Time to keep my knee on his neck for 10 minutes.”

    4. @Almighty God George Soros #420 #GetRekd lier its in the court documents for the warrent and listen too breannas boyfriends testimony. Its a bad situation but no racism moron

    1. Adam honestly I’m not trying to make you feel stupid it won’t benefit me at all. It just bothered me to see that level of hate coming from you. I understand you can freely disagree with her political view but the personal attack is just unnecessary my fellow American. We’re dealing with enough hate nowadays we have to be better than this. I’m sorry if I offended you but it just bothered me when you’re calling US citizen to go back to where she came from. After we’re all foreigners accept those who were here before right? She’s naturalized citizen like millions of Americans. Trump is the one that call the four women of color this although three of them were born here. Bless your heart

    1. @Psychedelic Lizard that’s a great projection considering the title of the clip with no factual evidence. Good obedient slave, well done.

    1. @Paul Green they do not report news. The report biased influenced half truth narratives. Read the title of the clip and explain to me how this is factual news when they claim in their own “news” that few details have been reported. Stir the pot faster

    2. @Ronald McDonald There has been no official release. It’s like people want accuracy but then want information immediately.

    1. Nah. The demolition man was held accountable without due process. – that was a movie
      no officers will be held accountable with the process. – this is real life

  3. This news organization should pay me to report the news. I’ll wing it every time to their reporting standards. Easiest job on earth.

    1. @Chef Mime You explain yourself very well in your little tirade/rant. You love communism? Wow, hello Stalin. You can leave the US now and go back to Russia.

    2. jnclimer1006 – no lol know no real news in so long….turn the tv off and research. There is news just not on tv. Puppets for the cabal.

    3. There is no free or honest press in America. Just panels of talking heads (who have never done any real investigative journalism) constantly tell us how to vote.

      That’s goes for FOX & MSNBC alike. The entire corporate sponsored news is nothing more than 24/7 political ads.

  4. Since there is very little info given, im assuming the hostage taker killed multiple people and cops killed the shooter.
    You guys are garbage. Everyone knows what you are doing.

  5. Actual facts on the story: Hostage situation. Police went in after gunshots fired. (The shooter Jose Jesus Lopez-Tinoco, had killed an 11 year old boy and a woman). As police enter the premise, Jose kills himself. Police officer put on leave. You’re welcome.

    1. Snake Plissken – yup, Blake (had kidz wit him!)… Regular “Father of the Year” type –
      SURE, Cops 👮🏾 at fault , they shudda let him get to his knife. [just to make things Fair!]
      SMDH 🤷🏼‍♂️

    3. @Christine Robertson voted for Gary Johnson last election, but after watching the Democrats the last 4 years has solidified my vote for Trump. Democrats ARE the virus.
