    I refused to watch the video. It's not my idea of entertainment. I offer my condolences 🙏🏿 to Miss Massey's family.
  • That video broke my heart. Prayers for the family and true justice from Jesus Christ!!!
  • Shame on this sheriff department. The officer who shot this lady disgusted me. He should have been fired and blocked from being a law enforcement officer a long long time ago.
  • @reddmv5445
    These so called police officers need to get life in prison, including the sheriff!
  • I do think something should be done about what I call Cop Surfing. Some people should not be a Cop, I could not be a Cop as I could not control my temper.
  • The woman obviously had mental problems but the cop unnerves escalated the situation
  • @jimlewis2395
    They hired this maniac, even though he had a LONG criminal record...This whole "Police" department needs to be locked up
  • @WAR_1933
    Her killer was kicked out of our military and multiple police departments
  • @turtletruth
    POLICE DO NOT PROTECT or KEEP TAXPAYERS SAFE! (Supreme Court Ruling!) Police protect the State, and not the taxpayers who pay their salaries... (Castle Rock vs Gonzales 545 U.S. 748 (2005) To make matters worse, there is NO National REGISTRY of fired police officers who usually get hired by other police departments! America needs a National transparent registry of fired, quit, and transferred police officers!

    As a continental African from the up right nation of freedom fighters called, Zimbabwe, this hurts to keep seeing this. I'd like to urge my brothers and sisters in America of African descent to come back home to the lands of their ancestors. Because no one deserves to live in fear of being considered inhuman due to their natural God given melanin. Thanks to the internet, many of us subject to colonial educational parameters now know what for centuries, my American brothers and sisters have had to endure in fear and terror. And that they are still severely marginalised despite the handful of celebrities the bias media propaganda allows us to see. While Africa is not perfect, dying because of blackness is the last worry on that continent. I want to offer my condolences to her family, and those of all the innocent lives lost at the hands of your law enforcers.
  • Ok Earth Alliance Navy Alliance take that department down WH-Q
  • @rontait6183
    Keep the pressure on to get the sheriff's resignation.
