Disgraceful what they are doing.

Warranted Armed robber resisting arrest. How else did this criminal think it would end. Our justice system has become woke politics. There should be an inquiry and due process.

All this turmoil, she should have been charge with manslaughter a long time ago. And yes do her time

Gee, she sure does look like a racist 🙄.

good

More whites been shot this year than blacks. When we going to cover that story. If you resist or fight back you caused your own problems. This crap with the media is causing the uprest

DUE PROCESS, is non-existent in the court of public opinion. Meanwhile, Ashley Babbits’ shooter...no charges, and she’s dead also. She served her country. He had outstanding warrants and other charges. Where is the justice

if any of us had been caught on tape admitting (this is called a confession) to police that we shot and killed someone when we meant to tase them instead, we would've been arrested right then and there for manslaughter. why did they wait so long and 'allow' her to resign?

While technically correct, I dislike how they are always presented as 'former officers'. They did their crimes under the employment and protection of the police forces.

So ridiculous!!!! She did her fucking job and he resisted arrest had a warrant and escaped police. God I HATE black people

let this be a lesson to those who run from police, just DONT RUN or dont steal or dont be a criminal end of story

Good. The defense of “I thought it was my taser” is absurd. She needs to spend some time in jail.
