This isn't Justice, and someone should do something about this situation! Speak up don't be silent!
Police violence is out of control. So many give law enforcement a bad name. They are worse than criminals or terrorist when all of us live in fear of them. Trust that they are protecting us is gone in many places.
And how many rounds did he fire off at the officers before they killed him?
Which cop on the scene didn’t know that this was about to be yet another unjustified shooting? Yet, did it anyway.....
No wonder people want to shoot cops. They wonder why. Can we say taser? Shoot him in the face? Blow his ear off. I'm sorry. This pisses me off royally!
Everyone in the replies saying that the cops handled this wrong have more than likely never been in a legitimate life or death situation. I’d like to see how you deal with someone reaching for a gun while you have a gun drawn. Good luck with using just “enough force” in your op
There’s more to the story, NBCartoon Tabloid Network spin again
Those cops should be in jail.
Devils love group lynchings, check history
The tried but true fearing for there safety. They better hope
Well this has happened & shameful; good thing you are not on Prince Edward Island, thems would never admit one officer did the shooting, lest 6 officers opening fire Saturday evening! They are looking too a Black Community on said PEI; Come thems say!
What!!!! When is this chaotic nonsense going to end... Smh...
This guy gets shot and JussieSmollett doesn't get shot ? whatiswrongwithwhitepeople
Rapping thug life and you are really living the homeless life
This wouldn't have happened at McDonald's.
keep pumping your anti-cop bulljive NBC? the guy was a bad guy. those police probably wanted to go home to their families. his face and neck were probably the only target available. this is the end the wannabe chose. stop stirring the pot.
Oh lord.
They plain as day overkilled another young black man. How are you when your 1st awoken? No one is with it when cops are waking you up! Good God! This was murder 100%
That’s what happens when a black carries a gun
Why would they shoot him 25 times God damn it!!!! When the first bullet would have done the job!!!!! This was an execution and I won't believe otherwise!! I care not what anyone believes but I really think the cops are servants with the license to kill 😡
Why?
What is the world coming to? Sickening
This should be a message to all you young aspiring rappers out there: Do not sleep in your car with a gun in your lap.
Many mass murderers are not killed by police
This makes me so Angry.
Actually, thanks NBC for spamming this one.
Poor Roger Stone. Treatment was so similar.
Now that’s overkill. That’s murder.
This headline is fairly misleading. He was not shot while unresponsive.
Something went went wrong; this shouldn't have happened
Wait for the body cam footage
Just like liberal nazis rushing to judgement
I read the entire article. This could have been handled much differently.
its probably time to take a serious look at the training they provide in the police academy
Just totally Insane. What's with these trigger happy ass cops
You don’t want to get shot by police.... put your stolen gun down and hands up! BackTheBlue
The racism in your country makes me sick.
He had a stolen .40 cal with an extended mag, lying on his lap that he reached for! Who cares how many times he was shot at that point 🤷♂️
mwegnadave Why is the fact that he has a gun on his lap in your tweet? Does that justify anything? He was non responsive.
Call it what it was: the cold execution of an innocent black man.
This is all too common. This is what NFL players kneel for, and what BLM marches for. When will we see accountability for these crimes? I would question the existence of a gun in lap b4 the shooting (video?) 'cause this isn't uncommon either, when black men are shot for nothing.
Was he a threat even though he was unresponsive?
Vallejo Police Department said as officers approached the vehicle, the “driver began to suddenly move and looked at the uniformed patrol officers”. “Officers gave the driver several commands to put his hands up. The driver did not comply and instead he quickly moved to firearm,”
And this is news why?
will just retweeting this help
My ole hometown making news in a bad way again. RiP young man.
NBC is pushing the racism propaganda today! Must be to offset the Smollett Hoax Narrative. Are you awake? We Are The NEWS NOW.
There needs to be some legislation that forces cops to use pepper spray or taser before a gun.
And here we go AGAIN! Whatever you do, NBC, DON’T wait for the actual investigation to be completed (or even the medical examiner’s report). Just use the guy’s LAWYER’S words to fan the flames of racial discord and hatred for police. Irresponsible
Oh dear God !
There was a woman about 15yrs ago this happened to. She was having a seizure and had a gun on her lap for protection....cops killed her too
It could of been 50cent..
Hey, let's have the cops investigate themselves on this one!
FAKE NEWS He was NOT sleeping when he was shot He was in the car, stopped at a drive-through, and no one knew if he was sleeping or not Police came up to the car, told him to put up his hands He reached down for the gun in his lap Bang.
Well, if he's dead. Don't think he will be worrying about his ear
Unresponsive and they shot him anyway. How sick that's cops did that.
?
Wow. Just..... wow. I got nuthin'. 😥
Why would anyone shoot an unresponsive person?
