    1. @Rosie Her I agree. I don’t see these mutually exclusive though. You can believe people should be held accountable and also be against police killing people for non violent crimes.

    2. cdw442 Lets focus on ending police unions. The defund the police thing is a distraction, made up by the state, in order to delegitimize the black lives matter movement. Once we end police unions, the psycho cops will be jailed. That way we can protest for even more change, and not have to worry about the cops shooting us with rubber bullets or beating us with sticks. And finally, we have to end the drug war. It is responsible for 90% of the prison population. Imagine what we could do with all the money and people.

  1. If a cop hears someone say “I can’t breathe” yet refuses to get off of them and that results in that person’s death, that cop should be arrested for murder!

    1. Period.

      Amen brutha…!!!

    2. Plain and simple. Sometimes you gotta put something in Barney terms for the slow people watching, smh

    3. C T You are the reason early prison release is not a good idea, second only to defunding the police.

    4. @MAGA COUNTRY The dude didn’t turn off his brights. As annoying as that is, only a fool would think that he deserved to die

    5. @Bud Fudlacker This is actually false – you can still talk when you can’t breathe. Police are not doctors, and not qualified to be making decisions based on their understanding of anatomy, regardless. Talking requires less air than breathing, and when there’s pressure from a cop putting their weight on your rib cage, you can exhale but not inhale. https://www.change.org/p/u-s-deparment-of-justice-police-departments-educate-police-officers-that-if-you-can-speak-you-can-breathe-is-a-myth

  2. For all of you LivePD viewers THIS is what WillCo is actually known for, THIS. The worst guy at my high school became a Round Rock PD officer. He stole money from everyone he could. He stole money from the Elgin BBQ restaurant we worked at. He was a thief and a rat bastard and of course, now he’s a WillCo cop.

    1. Imagine trying to put your hands behind your back when your heart is crushing your chest!?…. Having someone trying to force them for you is akin to someone saying ” Stop touching your fucking elbow! I don’t care that you hit your funny bone I’M NOT GONE TELL YOU AGAIN … STOP TOUCHING YOUR FUCKING ELBOW!!!!!!!!”

    2. @Trump 4 Prison 2020 # Trump for prison. Lets get on that ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ–

    3. @get lost check the percentage of deaths, not the raw numbers of deaths.
      If you have a group of 20 Apples and a group of 10 Cherries, and someone smashes 5 of each, which one’s numbers has been more drastically affected?
      Shouldn’t be too hard to guess.

  3. Wait: this was all over HIGH BEAMS?! I can’t count the number of times I’ve made that mistake.

    1. @Christopher Patrick ….this incident may give you reason to understand why people of color are scared to be pulled over……..why else wouldn’t he pull over if nothing found except dimming his head lights?

    2. @Rooftop Korean Brigade you seen how often cops kill black guys for doing absolutely nothing? i’d run too

    3. Eric Lei
      So medical exemptions for criminals? Oh his feelings hurt and has a tummy ache, just let him go?

    1. No, protest are for the unjustifiable killings. The dirty, criminal, racist pigs that call themselves police officers who are supposed to protect the public. This was not that, this person broke the law by speeding away.

    2. @William It does matter because their getting killed by their own race . Many afirca americans in detroit die more by their own race than any other races. But none talks about it because their in denial or ignorant.

    3. Black on black crime is internal affairs if you don’t understand what’s going on you shouldn’t have an opinion on it

    1. @William lol what a stupid response. like theres not people who just want to protect members of their community. maybe if you didnt see in black and white you wouldnt be such a bitter [unt

    2. @William i wasnt talking race i was talking metaphorically. says everything about you that thats how you responded

  4. What’s crazy if Police are doing stuff like this. Imagine what they are doing when there is no cameras to be found.

    1. If you really scared of police, get your butt ready when there is none. because all is fair game without law.

    2. @Not ConvincedThank you & yes he did survive that night. The NAACP helped get him out of jail bc they feared he would be murdered in jail. He was arrested that night bc his gf at the time got into an argument with someone. He was trying protect her & get her into his truck bf the police came so she wouldn’t get arrested. But the police came & he was the one who was arrested that night. We r Native American, Black, & White. I honestly don’t think it’s a race thing. I think it’s an American thing with police brutality. We all must stand together & not burn our cities to the ground.

    3. @James Pelobello and here with the money talks again .. y’all missing the point of all this mess

    1. The police work for the fascist oligarchy that exploits the rest of the world including us. Defund the police! Defund the whole damn oligarchy!

    1. @Democrat Skyscreamer your daughter will get pregnant by one or son become a thug wanna be

  5. They should have gotten an independent autopsy can’t trust their side tried that bs with george

    1. He didn’t care about his life or others in his path after he ran why should we care about him now.

    2. Maybe if he wasnt breaking the law and endangering the lives of others by running he would be alive, ever think of that. Pretty simple huh.

  6. This is wrong on so many levels!!!!!! My condolences to the mother and father and the children ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

  7. And people wonder why PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND PROTESTING ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚this is why. No Justice No Peace No Change No Peace
