  • The ONLY reason those 6 cops were reprimanded is because it was caught on camera.
  • @8bitlatina845
    "Excessive force?" No, this was assault and battery, destruction of property, and harassment. Those cops belong in jail.
  • They weren’t even protesting & got snatched up out of their vehicle like some type of rag doll. You can tell that they are still in a state of shock & disbelief & this will leave them traumatized for a very, very long time.
  • Getting fired is barely a punishment. Bad cops need to be behind bars.
  • @cemwalker
    The way these people were treated is the EXACT reason that people are protesting!

    She said she didn't think she'd live because nothing was done right - so powerful!
  • A black parents nightmare. You send your child away to college and something like this happens.

    Poor young brotha will remember this for the rest of his life.

    She kept saying "Their great college students" like that makes a difference in how they should have been treated. It doesnt matter your background. I dont care if they was sellin kilos or where welfare recipients. The police shouldnt be killing anyone. They are not the judge, jury, or executioner. The police barely know the letter of the law, so that alone should be a reason for reform and change.

    Sis is pisssseddddddddd as she should be and Messiah seems so comforting and kind towards his gf. He is heartbroken. When I saw his body go limp in that car I cried!!! That could have been my kids. I’m not only heartbroken and sad I’m PISSED!!!!!! God Bless these young adults.
  • Those cops did take something from those two kids. A piece of their dignity.
  • I'm glad this was caught on camera. Otherwise, there would be no justice
  • Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, educated or not, if they see you as an N-Word, that’s what they’ll believe you are
  • @allnsam6316
    I hope they get compensation for almost being killed by a trigger happy gang
  • @cornishmaid5073
    Basically, these kids were mobbed and tortured by six gun-carrying thugs.
  • @ljb5163
    Film all police interactions with people. That’s apparently the answer here.

    Poor kids! They’re still children and they’re absolutely petrified
