  1. SHOT 60' TIMES THEN HAND CUFFED ? WHAT COWARDS !!!!

AT WHAT POINT DO THEY STILL FEEL ANY THREAT ? COWARDS IN UNIFORMS NEED TO BE GONE. THE ANGER & COWARDLY ACTS THEY CARRY WILL BOIL OVER ON THE STREETS ON OR' OFF THE FORCE.

  2. The police gun usually has 10 bullets in the magazine. Firing 90+ bullets means someone must have reloaded. Man, you are shooting a man with no body armor, not a Godzilla or a King Kong. Complete waste of tax payers' money.

  3. I like to know what was broken on the car that they needed to stop and check up on it. It seems that a broken taillight or a cracked windows are what the police seem to look for. Then they handcuff a man after being shot 60 times. What kind of police force do you have there? We need to fear the Police, the state and government more that the criminals. When someone breaks the law they are criminals regardless, when law enforcemant breaks the law they are just doing their job.

  4. 60 or 90 bullets, what a waste. Those ten officers should be sentenced not to leave a shooting gallery for five years.

    I need to assume that he shot the police first.

  5. I don't understand why you would shoot an unarmed person, if he has a gun then ok there is at least a reason. Just because he ran doesn't mean that the cops can shoot and why does you all have to empty your guns till the last bullet can't you just shoot on the knee, this is like cops training to shoot a zombie. 1 shot on the leg is more than enough to stop a person from running

  6. Dear protesters: I respect the right to protest police shootings, however there are EXPONENTIALLY MORE mothers crying over their murdered children who were shot by other black folks. This type of energy would be more productive in outing the bad actors in the black community, but you won’t protest that huh. The other one is a real epidemic that is being ignored.

  7. 100% justified shooting. But as usual the press lies leaving out he shot at the police on video, endangered life in the chase, and firearm found in his car. He also ran from his car wearing a ski mask and got lit up when he turned toward the police.

  8. Some media got a real clean video, and there is no shots fired from the car. Plus when he flees fearing for his life (cant say he isnt right to do so considering the history this country have), he isnt armed at all. The gun is in the car, with separate ammo and body. So he couldnt have fired any rounds. Who takes out his ammo clip before running out?? Absolutely no one. And if he did shot, he wouldve taken his gun on him. That is straight murder, we can even call this terrorism. This aint about racism anymore, this is where a young man was killed in horrendous way by a horde of bloodthirsty monsters. That is what America is today. There isnt any democracy if you can get crippled just by running away. They talk about gangs this, drug that, terrorism this, russian that. But look what they do to their own people. Thats disgusting.

  9. If he had been a white mass shooter they would have taken him into custody without a shot being fired and taken him to get lunch. Remember that actually happened. He murder a bunch of black people worshiping at their church and got lunch.

  10. Cops reported that they heard firing from car but provided no proof of that. The recovered firearm was unloaded. However when the suspect fled on foot leaving the firearm in the car he was shot at over 107 times of which 60 of the shots killed him. Police then proceed to handcuff him lying on the ground dead.

  11. One bullet, five, or sixty. I don't see the problem IF you've shot off a round yourself. The only time people flee from cops is if they have done something worse than a traffic violation. ~~Well done, Officers~~
