  1. Sorry but I’ve had life threatening injuries and I would NEVER let my partner die alone!!! This was absolutely disgusting and the reason why I believe, as a woman myself, that women are too WEAK for this job! They should not be patrolling like this.
    That poor man died alone!

  2. Looks like a 50/50 situation that went sour. The probable cause is up in the air but ol boy being in the wrong with the firearm 😮. Life can be a beautiful thing with a taste of hot mess.

  3. This was heartbreaking to watch. What an absolute nightmare! You can claim 8 million TIMES that you "weren't doing anything wrong"…and, sometimes, it's proven that the suspect isn't/wasn't "doing anything wrong". In the meantime, when an officer asks you to GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE you better GET OUT! It's a lawful order…PERIOD! That female officer was nothing but nice and respectful to him…AND his mother…from the first moment she spoke a word to him. It sucks that he got tased, but he ASKED for that by refusing countless police orders. And, guess what? If either of these officers had used a deadlier form of force…this would be ALL OVER THE NEWS and everyone would be saying the cops should have used less lethal means. Now, you can clearly see what can happen when they don't use their sidearm. If we keep going like this, our country is going to be lucky to find anyone willing to be a police officer in the future. The stakes will become WAY TOO high for anyone to be willing to risk. I'm sorry for the loss of the officer and to the Department for your loss. And, I hope the female officer is doing OK and makes a full recovery. A very sad and tragic event.

  4. Weed smell isnt probable cause since smell cant be seen on camera or presented as evidence. All i saw was a man be accosted by 2 road pirates who eanted to hurt him,violate his rights and extort him. The 2nd amendment was made to defend against tyrants just like this. Ftp

  5. I could not do what this lady does. I dont get intimidated easy….but this kind of shizzle really would get me. Im 6 minutes in and i know its gonna get worse 😩😩😩😩😩

  6. Welcome to America!
    Where the right to bear arms is a God-given right and any half-tweet fool can get a gun. Coupled with the fact that our cops are not the best trained in conflict deescalation + long history of racism against blacks people, this is what you get.
    Pathetic!

  7. Looks like a fishing expedition. She saw that he was black, pulled him over, "smelled weed" for "probable cause" and used that as justification to try snd get him on anything she could.

    I guess she got her wish.

    But really they could've searched the car for weed. If they didn't find weed the firearms charge would have gotten thrown out because it was an unlawful stop.

    They never found weed in the car, based off of the video.

  8. All I see is a man who swerved off of the road a little bit and then got right back on it. He said he was fixing his hair. They start it off fine. Escalated it by saying marijuana, get out of the car The man had him screaming. in fear for his safety And they ended up biting off more than they could Chew this is a classical case of Cops escalating a situation when it could have just been a Ticket Causing a man pain and actting like Victims There was no need to Search he car and Attack him
