  1. Looks like to me, "Uou were not allowed to allow fear to cause hesitation. We are police, comply instantly or be prepared to die. Know your place peasant!". They forget the protect and Serve aspect. Too many have replaced that notion with "intimate to control". Not just the situation, but the citizens they are intended to IDK "serve"!

  2. I wonder what it is like being a family member, especially a wife, of a pig that do these kinds of things? Do they say, "Good job"?

  3. Police definitely should not have 'attack dogs'. Maybe they shouldn't have guns or tasers. Maybe the hiring process should be more professional. Maybe their training and supervising should be greatly improved. Maybe many of these shouldn't be "serving and protecting".

  4. I’d say there’s a good debate here of whether the same thing should happen to this piece of shit ex officer Hamilton maybe someone in the community will handle that properly

  5. I'm sick and tired of these cops who fuck up and then put on some "act" for the body cam and their buddies. To big of a coward to man up and take responsibility.

  6. Stupid, poorly trained cops are dangerous and murder people just like this. Then try to cover it up, oops they did it again, and again and again

  7. When you say a cop was "fired", it is too ambiguous. Does that mean he was just forced to leave the current force but is still a licensed cop so he could still be hired by another police department? Or, did he lose his "cop license" and can NEVER be a cop again?

  8. Another Cop in prison is a wonderful step towards a Free America. The odds a cop is injured on the job is less than a waitress getting hurt on the job.

  9. I really need to stop watching these videos before bed. The actions of our government and the police piss me off

  10. THEY (not WTP), THEY ALONE have quietly normalized an *our crimes are mistakes but your mistakes are crimes* policy. THEY were only able to accomplish this through Qualified Immunity. THEY HAVE EVOLVED THEIR ENTIRE SECRET SOCIETY INTO ACTUAL SOVEREIGN CITIZENS. Wide Blue Line

  11. It's amazing that this officer was indicted when there are many incidents where police much more clearly murdered civilians who were unarmed and not violent where the officers were never indicted.

  12. Possibly an accidental discharge but impossible to tell from the way you cut the video. If you expect your viewers to form a reasonable opinion you need to show the video unedited. This form of editing may be required by U Tube but i do not think it is in cases such as this. I have seen plenty of videos uncut, even a clerk in Colorado being executed with a headshot. Unedited. Are you trying to bias your viewers?

  13. JOHN BRYAN – I am just curious to know if you've ever had the opportunity or need to defend a police officer who has been charged criminally or sued civilly over a police interaction?

    I certainly appreciate your videos as it exposes bad cops but I am sure a good cop can be in legal trouble for rightfully following the law. I am pro "good" cop and I am someone who wants to abolish qualified immunity. I say these things so you understand that my question isn't a setup question or a question to write a wrongful agenda towards you. I am just curious if you've ever had to defend an innocent good cop in legal trouble?

    I truly enjoy your videos and support all that you do. Keep up the excellent work of exposing tyranny and hypocrisy in our legal/justice system. God bless 🙏🙏🙏 you

  14. Dog is accomplice in murder as held person to be shot.
    Sadly as dog is only trained to attack humans, it will never stop.
    Esp when involved in murder, it should be put down and officer as well

  15. Greensboro Police thank you for showing a real look at the circumstances and supporting life over reckless shooting. Voters you are lucky to have a woke Department.
