    1. @Angela Mathys
      Sorry but current Republican led investigations admit Russian interference WAS NO HOAX! As you and Trump continually attempt to con citizens…consistantly.

    2. @poboy78
      Sorry but…you are. So now that you know WHO you are embrace it slick. Don’t deny your hate filled existence.

  1. Don’t know the facts but hey it’s a good story and may cause racial trouble so let’s put it on the air.

    1. did you actually listen to the story? No it was done in a fair transparent way , just because you are used to police coverup doesnt make transparency bad.

    2. @arniebarb123: Did you do too much meth too soon? The news has to happen before it can be reported on. Take a breath. See if you got another one.

    3. @Activation Codes 🔥💚🔥 why report on the kid when the situation was handled IMMEDIATELY! The man is where he should be and has been charged for the crime….although the parents still have some questions to answer. But what more do you want? There isn’t much more reporting to be done one that case.

    1. @Angela Conner why do they need to shoot him though? In the same country where people can carry around guns in public? But if he has a knife then shoot him!?

    2. @JuggaloSupreme he didnt comply with police orders and had a weapon and was walking into a store…. To do what? Pick up some more diapers?
      It doesn’t matter if he had a knife or a gun, he was shot because he didnt drop the knife. People can carry guns in carry states because they ARENT criminals. Law abiding citizens are not the ones being shot by cops.

    3. @JuggaloSupreme its the criminals best interest to comply with the cops and drop the deadly weapon. If he dropped the knife, he wouldnt have been shot.

    1. Well look what station it is MSNBC LOL they are garbage Reporters boycotting this station right now who’s with me

    1. @Еmmа [f.u.с.к мe] ТАР 0N МY РIC Hackers for charity centers back to the queen Skank of them all…BH …………Henry boi

    2. @ItzBulletOG Dude, you’re missing your balls and your made bc you didn’t even noticed. Check grandma’s marble jar.

    3. @Fire Hawk I expect courage above cowardice, common sense above stupidity. Wtf walks a knife carrying man half a mile to the front door of a store and then opens fire without worry a bullet could ricochet. All that for one knife carrying man that’s WALKING AWAY.

  2. “We wanna Warn You “…
    “We didn’t really see crap..and sure don’t know crap”…
    Thanks Clowns

    1. This was just another sacrifice from someone joining the Illuminati in the family because now SATAN WANTS BLOOD FOR THE FAME

  3. Yes, I’m sure he was a good boy on his way to church to help carve a Turkey to feed the poor & homeless. MSNBC ready to push another Riot.

    1. Further reports state he was shot while leaning into his own vehicle after attempting to break up an altercation between two other people. White racist ready to push another Lie.

  4. So should they have let him get into the gas station where he could have taken hostages or harm someone innocent?

    1. @Big Mac Daddy don’t you get it? Those cops DIDN’T take “ACTION.” They didn’t protect those people in the store!!! Those cops set off rounds of bullets without any care that a bullet might possibly enter the store and possibly hit someone other than their intended target. Those cops posed a much bigger threat to the people in that store than that one knife carrying man. Not one cop tried to block the entrance to the store. And fyi: it doesn’t take much talent or courage to pull a trigger. The passengers on delta airlines who tackled that terroist on the plane during 9/11 attacks had more heart, soul, and balls than any of those cops. But none of them took an oath to “Protect and Serve.”

    2. @Aron Lane Wait! Wait! Wait one minute. I didn’t read all your gibberish. You lost me when you said the cops walked this man half a mile to the front door of the store. Bofl, and you don’t even see the irony of it.

    1. Spread the message man. This video is great proof. They had no evidence, but they fabricated a story anyways, one that’s likely to spark riots…

    1. @Sauron Merciful A felon is someone who has been tried and convicted of a felony. Which mean they broke specifically federal law. Not all criminals are felons. Thus a “suspected felon” would be someone who is suspected of committing only certain crimes. Also it’s not called a “concealed and carry” it’s just called “concealed carry”. It is quite clear you have idea what you are talking about and therefore you should be ignored outright.

    2. @Sauron Merciful
      -Guy was marching with the knife IN HAND
      -Person recording even says “that guy has a knife”
      -Police ordered him over and over to stop
      -A cruiser even tried cutting the man off
      -Man continued Terminator-marching towards the gas station door
      -They tried to tase him to bring him down
      -Guy shrugged it off and kept going
      -Officers aren’t paid enough to get their throats cut
      -Officers aren’t going to let him take hostages
      -Only one option left

      Everything I listed is in the full video that MSNBC clipped to shreds.

    1. Idk why republicans just can’t admit they love news of blacks being murdered. It makes them feel safe; makes them think their wives are less likely to get railed by bbc.

  5. “We dont see the actual shooting”
    “We dont know what led to the shooting”
    “We dont know much detail of the situation”
    “I know the individual”
    “I dont know the individual on a personal level but seemed nice”

    1. @MJB For Trump yeah, see, the video loses alot of credibility when he starts out saying ‘a bunch of communists are rioting in Wisconsin’. You can already see he hates them and will be taking the other side so that kills expecting a unbiased report from him.

    2. @MJB For Trump Totally missed the point there dude. He called them communists with no justification. I don’t have a hatred for rioters myself, though looters yes. People don’t riot without a reason after all, and that reason is usually because protests aren’t getting them what they wanted. Now, some things people want are frigging insane and need to be laughed at, the whole ‘no police’ thing comes to mind. But I’ve seen literally no evidence that the rioters are a group of communists, so him calling them that already ruins his credibility.

    1. You seem to forget police officers also have tasers and there were 3 of them and 1 of him. He had no gun 😐😐😐

    2. @Reggie Thomas You seemed to not have heard the whole story. The police tazed him and he did not go down. So they shot him after telling him multiple times to put the knife down.

    1. What do you mean??
      That man was clearly on his way into the store to cut some meatloaf for the hungry!
      These officers are murderers! Dude was about to take hostages… he ran into a store with a weapon, he did not “walk away from the cops” MSBNC trying to start another riot.

    1. The guy that shot him is in jail, awaiting trial! It’s not hard to figure out why you are not seeing anything. All development in the story moves forward when the killer goes to trial. I am more surprised that there are 25+ American citizens that don’t know this 🤦🏽‍♂️

  6. Police = “had a knife and couldn’t be subdued with a taser…”
    News = “he was shot for walking”

    1. Ramon Perez apologies if I misunderstood. Yeah, but what’s to benefit of putting so much focus on race? I have black friends that feel they’ve been targeted throughout their life and other black friends that have never had a single issue in their life. At the end, if you live in a big city, I think you’re more likely to encounter cops, have negative experiences, etc. I think that’s just a byproduct of living in a highly policed area. At least that was the case living in Los Angeles in the 80s-90s.

    2. @Justin Meyers…. It doesn’t matter where you live, it’s almost always a negative experience with the police for black men. Every experience is not getting shot, but the disrespect by yelling and telling people to shut up or I’ll arrest you, doesn’t make for us to respect the police. So when I’m confronted by the police I have to be on my guard.

  7. Terrible service,they’re not doing their exercise,can they restrain anyone at all.If you see a out of shape officer….he fits the profile.
