    1. BUT THIS ISNT THE KINGS TWITTER ACCOUNT SUBJECT.
      DJT said “The media is the enemy of free people” 2/24/17. 3/5/2020 it was 250 yrs NEWS4 free people. Not a word was heard about regular people & BOSTON MEDIA.
      SOME SOLDIERS WERE INNOCENT. (John Adams, lawyer). In a court of law.
      Paul Revere scribed some metal about it. I guess not a massacre after all.
      Just FakeNewZ. PG 1 AMERICAN REVOLUTION. They were MURDERERS EVERYWHERE.

    2. ALL law enforcement, coast-to-coast, needs to take the next six months off. (Armed American citizens are more than capable of handling violent criminals…without filling up our jails and prisons.)

      BOSTON MEDIA’S UNITED STATES?
      250 YR ANNIVERSARY 3/5.
      News for free people.
      Just went by. NADA UNITED STATES.
      I BET YOU WONT FIND ONE LINK ABOUT IT.

    1. @Kevin C
      THE KING HAS THE SUBJECTS NOT watching “fake news” stations…FREEDOM OF PRESS?!?!
      NFL, NBA…HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, NETFLIX(OBAMA SHOW)…..
      NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

    2. I bet when the police go the business go have fun with that governor. And places that still have police and the community respect the police we need to keep those other people out of your community when their community goes down the tubs when the police leave. They want the police out so let them deal with aftermath.

  1. In Orwell’s Animal Farm the pigs convinced the animals to revolt then when they took over freedom turned into authoritarian police state.

    1. There are not enough people who can see what is really going on. To be honest I would be surprised if you can find many people who have ever read Animal Farm. Of those who have I would not expect many to be able to connect the pigs sheep and cows to there present day examples. The entire population is so dumb now. Completely ignorant of what they are about to bring on all of us.

    2. Did you hear how many tickets were requested to see Trump at his Rally this Saturday? OVER ONE MILLION!
      Dementia Joe cant even fill a locker room….LOL@Killroy was here

      I WORK IN BOSTON MEDIA.
      OWNERS PG1 ALL US HISTORY BOOKS?
      3/5/1770?
      KINDA SILENT.
      I learned in school freedom from Kings is priceless.

    1. @Andie Isabella we have had those rights since guns were invented….it’s the government that thought they would interfere…just like now with the cops

    2. @Alf no….. Police not taking calls doesn’t mean those people didnt call the police…. Just because a fire truck doesn’t show up doesn’t mean your house isnt on fire….

  2. If I worked at a job and someone who works the same job got charged with the death penalty for doing the same thing i was trained to do i would quit.

    1. MAGA TEACHERS, WRITERS, MUSICIANS?
      NO KIDDING.

      HATE KINGS. AND SUBJECTS.

    3. I’m not sure… but you might have capslock on… just a hunch…
      .
      As for the OP, i would totally quit as well, glad to see officers are actually doing that.

    4. @Verruca when someone aims and fires a lethal weapon at you then you have every right to shoot back.
      .
      And tazers just so happen to be labeled as lethal by… this very same DA 2 weeks ago.

    1. @Jay Gibson
      SOME BRITISH SOLDIERS WERE INNOCENT. IN A COURT OF LAW. A KING HATED FAKENEWZ ABOUT MURDER EVERYWHERE.

  3. No in Georgia that taser is a deadly weapon in law, they gonna walk . Its literally written in Georgia’s Law LE taser concidered deadly weapon.

    1. Not to bash msnbc constantly but this has to be a payed for news brand because there is zero logic behind any of thier coverage. I couldn’t believe at the amount of ppl that actually believe this propaganda. Then will argue with no logic

    2. @David Brown its criminal for the shooting officer to be arrested for anything the other officer kicked his dead body out of spite so he should be dealt with but that’s not murder its firing material.

    3. @Jwr Panton not only that:

      “Rayshard Brooks was on probation and could have gone to prison over DUI arrest at Wendy’s on night he was shot by police”

    4. @Jwr Panton FREEDOM (TO LIE ABOUT KINGS) IS PRICELESS.
      YOU WANT MY PHONE?

    5. Then e ven worse Giorgia cops use deadly weapon on everyone. One point after a taeser is used twice it doesn’t discharge again until is taken to be charged the cop used it twice. He knew it wasn’t going to harm anyone and still fired on the man twice in the back and for 2 minutes while he laid dying he kicked him and stepped on him. Only when they knew he was dead they went thru the motion of CPR knowing it wouldn’t do anything.

  4. I think we focus on race WAY to much on race when it comes to this issue. That being said I do think that we need police reform so bad apples are held responsible.

  5. Everybody was streaming to defund the police but when they staged a peaceful protest in support of their brother being unjustifiably charged for doing their job then everybody is upset because they didn’t show up for work well they got their wish there are no cops to answer calls

    1. @Love Jones they we’re doing their jobs until the mayor gave in and charge the Cops with murder unjustifiably

    2. @Noreb As the son of a cop and someone who’s entire childhood was funded by a cop’s salary I can say you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. My point, aside from the pay, is that simply doing your job as a cop today will likely land you a murder charge. Police are expected to die for their job instead of defend themselves. Until you’ve had to wrestle a drunk driver to the ground who would really rather keep driving drunk I suggest you withhold judgement.

    3. @Charles watch the press conference the charges where announced. They show it and its on video. The fact you think the DA who has to work with cops every day would risk his career to charge these two with charges that wouldn’t stick shows you dont understand politics or criminal justice.

    4. @Pyrite the average entry level police officer salary in the US is 40-55k with full benefits, overtime, pension, and a union that will protect you from criminal justice and disciplinary actions… With almost zero prerequisites outside of a clean record….

      What youre saying is asinine and the statement “police are expected to die instead of defend themselves” is simply idiotic hyperbol that only a child would believe.. If police dont want to risk their own safety and are worried about being charged with murder then they shouldnt be cops…

      If police are worried about being charged with murder, stop killing people. Problem solved

    5. Rod no one mean for cop’s to leave but change policing in America,
      if cop’s want to show solidarity for those cop’s fine. Then let the good cop’s willing to police like they know better stay and those that can’t bye.

  6. ALL law enforcement, coast-to-coast, needs to take the next six months off. (Armed American citizens are more than capable of handling violent criminals…without filling up our jails and prisons.)

    1. FINDING MAGA MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE.

    2. JR: I don’t know what happened to you as a child to make you this way, but there’s time to grow up.

    3. Sounds good to me! Cop if in that kind of community whoops I can not respond I got a flat tire. Sounds good to me.
