Jonathan Price exemplified a life and worldview shaped by a most disgraceful and shameful ethos. Devoid of a sense of humanity and accountability for the very oppressed group of people whom he originated from. If anything, his case serves as an example of sheer disgrace and irony

Thank you Rangers

Why would a baseball team be involved in law enforcement?

ClimateAxnNow Defund the Police fire the Nationalists it's not hard to find who they are creeps are everywhere

Oh god, not again. Another good black man gunned down by a white policeman. Jonathan Price was protecting a woman from abuse? And was killed for that?

He resisted arrest.... end of discussion. Cop was justified. stopresistingarrest

Still not enough, why are the police so poorly trained?

🤦🏿‍♂️ If we have the mans face, name and picture , do we really need to say 'A black man' Media and their trigger words.

The world could use a little good news right now

You know where this goes. Not guilty or light sentence but keep all his benefits.

Charging him quickly so we forget about Jonathan won’t work but ok. We know how this will end.

I'm so done with the police

This seems real.

That cop needs to face first degree murder charges now!

Is there a video?

His poor mother, so sad. “Nope, not this time. ‘He resisted arrest, just comply with the cops’.. Nope that one doesn’t work this time either. This was purely an act of racism. Period. So, for all of you that think this is all bullshit, you need to check yourselves.”

Whats crazier is he was blue lives matter and if you do nothing wrong youll be ok person

It just gets worse and worse.
