[@jayboogie4249]

It is concerning to see money and other resources allocated towards military-grade weapons for local police departments targeting unarmed minority groups, while armed white criminals are left home or even arrested. There was even an armed standoff and he wasn't abused or beaten. Furthermore, it is disheartening to witness officials appear on national television, claiming with sincerity that their mission is to protect and serve.

[@DeliveryDuoMax23]

[@oscaraguirre6775]

@@dougs4944 @Charlie-lh8pv Charlie listen to the man being interviewed at 1:34 about the suspect. That’s a lot of compassion towards a person with a violent history, threats and attempted murder. Add to that the police hesitancy to deal with it.. There seems to be a historical and overarching pattern of patience, care, and empathy when it’s particular suspects. Double standards and dual justice systems are not new to American society

If nothing else this should show the positive effect the news media can have, the sheriff had no intention of going after this guy until the bad press became too much. It also shows the chief should be fired immediately he put many other people's lives in danger by letting the shooter remain free

[@yeah_right88]

Let's be truthful. If the black man had made these threats, he would have been arrested before charges were even filed. It's digusting how these cops left this man to basically die. The fact he is alive is a miracle. They are the epitome of cowardice.......
