The VA has so many issues! These veterans come home and so many are left picking up the pieces of their lives with severe mental issues. God bless Brian and his family.

[@lieslwright70]

He’s really a hero because he didn’t hurt anyone, didn’t intend to hurt anyone and brought attention to the plight of veterans. We spend 1-2 trillion on the military. How is there so little money for veterans who become mentally unstable after serving? Tell me that.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Well said. I agree 100%

[@Misscutieful1]

Exactly! It’s unjust and inhumane the way the government treats people who bravely fought for their country 😢

[@lieslwright70]

[@adrianatanner8712]

That is extremely heartbreaking. He didn’t need prison or to be killed. He needed help both financially and for his physical and mental health. RIP

[@broncotia3125]

AMEN!!. Very sad. Prisoners r treated better than our veterans in America 🇺🇸. Absolute shame.

Seems like his quiet and reserved nature should have never experienced something like the marines. Only certain minds and personalities are equipped for these kinds of experiences. To join the marines in an attempt to become a man, isn’t a realistic approach. As one’s mind has to be wired in ways that supersedes specific benefits.

[@BeautifulOne-h1x]

​@@junglekutz5625 HAVE YOU EVER SERVED?! HELL NO!! SO, WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ANYONE WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS RACIST COUNTRY?! MFS LIKE YOU ALWAYS RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH ABOUT THINGS YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN. HOW ABOUT STFU!!

Lol "they went to get the cigarettes." had me rolling.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That officer should've been charged. RIP Brian.

[@StylesbyNina]

So sad. May the officer be haunted by his spirit. No empathy at all. Disgusting behavior.

[@quetee53]

My brother was in the Navy. What he did in the Iraq war messed him up, mentally and physically. He passed in 2022 from congestive heart failure from what he went through over there. The US govt sends these young people over there and do Nothing to help them when they get home. He was 49. RIP Brian

[@ambergriffes6122]

I'm so sorry 😢 R.I.P. Brian Thank you for your service ❤

[@anitagoston2747]

I'm so sorry about your brother. I don't think the government will ever tell what they have done to our service men and women. A lot of the stuff that they do is just stamped "classified " to make sure that no one can get into their files and examine their notes and data about what they are doing.

[@broncotia3125]

God bless, I'm sorry for ur loss. Its a crime the way our Veterans r treated at home 😔

[@BAW47]

I'm so sorry 😢

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

RIP to your brother. So much empathy for war vets as some with PTSD, myself. It’s just salt in the wound to give so much for your country and get so little in return.

[@sorrelbee113]

This man, after being left behind by the VA, was murdered in the middle of a mental health crisis by an officer who faced no accountability. Horrible and sad

[@bec7080]

This is the first story that made me feel like crying in long time. As soon as you said he shot him it hit me directly in the heart. The Marines hits veterans extra hard, I have a unhoused marine veteran cousin who has severe mental health issues. My thoughts are with Brian's family

[@applesandlemoncake]

This story is so heartbreaking. I felt crushed too when she said what happened. It hurts knowing there are so many veterans like Brian are out here needing their country to serve them the way they served for their country.

[@bec7080]

@applesandlemoncake it really is s freaking shame. My cousin lives out in Asheville NC so when the hurricane happened last month he didn't know if he was ok for a few days since he is unhoused. A stranger saw our flyer online and saw him at a food/help line and verified it was him. He verified it was him and she let him know we cared and let us know he was ok. This is what we do to our veterans/provide them. It's unfortunate

[@Deebeez716]

This poor man. What a sad story.

[@alonyasmith1221]

As a VA nurse this hit me very hard. This is so sad because veterans are taught how to serve but are not taught how to live back in regular society. This man needed mental help and this is just sad all around. So many vets are in this same mental turmoil 😢

[@KPbouj]

This hits home. I know a few quiet classmates that went off to war and came home barely able to function. It’s like they are a shell of themselves. This is like a plot of a Denzel movie 😔

[@crystalaltman4958]

This breaks my heart. My fiancé has PTSD, bipolar and more. There are SOOOOO many times he could have been hurt by police and instead they have prayed with him and calmed him. He’s called the police on himself many times when he’s triggered. He is a black man also. The police in this area have went out of their way to keep him safe. He’s a disabled army special forces veteran. He was also honorably and medically discharged for mental health. This one hits home. This is heartbreaking. They should not have shot him like that. Not at all.

[@Bliss31]

Oh this comment made me cry. How aware he is to call the police before doing something he will regret. How amazing ❤

[@hotfishfromsharktale]

Okay but since we're on this topic, 13% of veterans in America or homeless while hundreds and billions of dollars EACH YEAR goes to one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Half of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. The 99% of Americans are struggling while the top 1% just keep profiting off of that struggle. Our government is holding us down and nothing will ever change until we break this two party system. Anyway I love your content!!!

[@BAW47]

Facts. We need to over turn citizens united, get all money out of politics....it's legalized bribery. Our elected officials represent their PACS rather than their constituents. End outside influence in American politics. Break the two party system. And stop funding Israel's international crimes. I'm so disgusted with our politicians and unfortunately I see no changes in our future. The wage gap will continue to grow. How much money could they possibly need???? Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, bill gates, warren buffet.......smfh

[@HeyDrJen84]

Agreed!!!

[@srice3941]

Facts, it’s because that’s where they plan to go after the destruction of America, a back up plan so to speak

[@misssunnygirl2011]

This case is truly sad. My brother and my father are both veterans. My father passed away in 2015 after a long struggle with addiction and i truly believe being in the military drove him to drugs in the first place. My brother is currently struggling with mental health issues, much like Brian, he feels he's being followed and he's super protective over me, my mom and his daughters because he thinks that the people who are "after him" will come after us to get to him. He has been trying to get help for some time but the VA is no help. My brother is struggling financially because he's not getting paid much from the military and the injuries he's suffered keeps him in so much pain he can't really work..... All that to say that the military and the VA have to do a better job caring for our veterans. These people come home broken and they need support. My heart goes out to Brian and his daughter because she didn't get a chance to know the great guy her father once was.

[@virginiaelizabeth4577]

[@bubblez0530]

If he was honorably discharged and have a service connection the va has numerous resources. I’m a disabled vet and utilize their resources. If he’s not service connected I’d recommend he submit the paperwork to apply for benefits.

[@misssunnygirl2011]

@@bubblez0530 he was honorably discharged but I'm not sure about the service connection part, I'll check into that. He does use the resources but they're just little to no help. I'm not sure if it matters where you live but we're in Georgia and I hear a lot of vets here complaining about the VA. Thanks for the info though

[@thelurelady]

These military personnel deserve EVERY possible opportunity for a proper way to reintegrate into their lives. RIP Brian and thank you kindly for your service 🙏🇺🇸

[@Truecrimediva1]

It's sad that Dennis took the shot after his commander's order not to. This alone should have been enough to charge him with something."

I tried my hardest to watch it and it was tough. I got choked up many times throughout that movie. Boyega did a damn good job portraying Brian.

[@tatywyatt]

This is the first video i’ve cried on. I’m active duty and this breaks my heart. The veterans that served during Vietnam and between our last war deserve so. much. better. Nothing boils my blood more than seeing a homeless vet. I volunteer often with the VA hospital and home here by my base. they deserve so so so so so soooo much more. Tell a Vietnam vet ‘welcome home’ and thank our servicemen and servicewomen. Thank you Britt for covering this case, rest in peace Brian ❤ you deserved better

[@nicolescott1354]

The longer I live in this country, the more I am confused about the judicial system.

[@ciannafairow22]

I’m so disheartened by this, he needed help not a bullet. And while he went about things wrong, he was clearly in a crisis. May that officer never know peace. Rest easy Brian, I’m sorry this happened to you😢

[@zenikathomas1754]

This case really scared me. My son is a military vet and came back with mental illness. The VA absolutely needs to do better, especially when it comes to mental health. Praying for all vets and their families

[@a_beautiful_soul4377]

This story broke my heart.💔

[@ambernicole.]

They have all these appealing benefits for joining the military but nothing to take care of them if they are injured.

[@bubblez0530]

I guess it depends on the branch and individual. I’ve never had an issue with medical while active duty or as a veteran. Unfortunately, many of us vets are left “broken” but there are resources. There are barriers in regards to the vets who do receive services though. One has to be service connected and honorably discharged.

[@Karina42327]

I love how Brittney shows incredible respect while covering military cases. Our veterans are trained to fight, but not trained how to cope and stand on their own 2 feet once they get home from war. My brother was deployed 4 times and because of ptsd, he’s still fighting - This time for the strength to not “surrender” to the horror of what he saw etc… We have to do better.

[@Deenechelle]

I thank God everyday my parents who’ve served haven’t suffered in the way so many veterans do. The government needs to do better in supporting our vets who give their lives to this country!

[@kaycartier2245]

I wasn’t prepared to get so angry towards the end of this story. I feel in my gut the officer knew he could get away with not following the order. He should be looked into, reeks of entitlement. It was obvious Brian didn’t plan on physically hurting anyone, he wasn’t even asking for more than his usual small monthly pay out, which says a lot. 😢 R.I.P

[@monicawilliams3948]

Omg I was working right across the street when this happened in Marietta. I worked in a building that army veterans worked in also. This is crazy. No wonder y they shut the whole road down. And couldn't no one come out the building. U broke this story all the way down for me. I was told it was just a bank robbery. But I knew it had to be more to it because they had all type of FBI swat tank trucks bomb squad. They had everything and every agency out there. Thanks for breaking it down for us girl

[@TheOnlyLadyBella]

Hey I was Marietta too. You're right It was not broken down to us the way Brittany broke it down. We were all told it was just the bank robbery.

[@ImanisMommy]

Finally a true crime channel I can follow with a calming voice versus “robotic” type voices! Thank you! I saw the movie and it was so sad to see how our veterans are treated after placing their lives on the line for this country. 😢

[@joygirl09]

My neighbor across the street had 4 kids. Her oldest was always very respectful, funny, handsome and hard working. He moved out when I was like 10-11 because he was like 18-19. I didn’t see him for 20+ years but throughout the years I always heard good things, he had went to the military and had a family etc. out of the blue, I was visiting my mom and I hear someone calling my name. I look over and it’s a homeless person coming across the street. It was the neighbor I hadn’t seen in 20 years. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe that was him until I looked into his eyes. We talked for like two minutes and I just went in the house and cried. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I heard a few months later he died and that just hurt my heart so bad. Idk what happened in the last 20 years but I have a strong suspicion it was probably something that happened in the military. 😔

[@bkwidow8132]

Thank you I am familiar with the movie. I haven’t watched it yet but, after this I plan to. I work with Veterans everyday and it’s truly sad the way they are treated. They should not be out here struggling.

[@karagreene2097]

This story breaks my heart. As working as a community health worker, the VA does minimal work to help veterans. There is no reason for a Veteran to have to want for anything. Food.. shelter.. anything. They have fought for our country and how there treated by this country makes no sense at all to me. So sad to witness personally almost everyday. Prayers to the family.

[@JillyMoonbeam]

Just in time for a bedtime story! Love it!! ❤

[@minasenegal7565]

I haven’t watched the video yet, but I remember working at the Chick-Fil-A next to the bank (it got shutdown and turned into a Chipotle later on) where it happened. The next day when I went to work, someone left a small bouquet of red, white, and blue roses sitting outside of the bank. No one wanted him to get killed

[@TheOnlyLadyBella]

❤ I'm glad Britney is telling the story like it should be told.

[@nikitiam6568]

This poor guy. He should be alive today receiving the help he deserved and needed. Such a sad story. I pray his daughter is well and safe. 😢Rest in Heavenly Peace 🕊️

[@vknshaw]

Chileeee the way I should not have been laughing this entire video but your commentary had me from the walks to him answering the phone. But his kindness and ebbs and lows of his emotions showed how much help he needed

[@DoyouseewhatIsee-ie3ze]

This lady can tell a story it draws me in every time. This is a very sad story. He did not deserve this.

[@ashleycampbelllane4758]

As a Veteran myself...SO many of us feel like this. We feel the need to make rash decisions for a change. Especially the ones of us who've deployed 3 plus times. I'm just now mentally able to go back to work. I've been out since 2010. Also, the "veteran crisis line" was created because so many vets were killing themselves on VA property to make statements. That was their solution. A hotline. Yet another fkn number to talk to someone with no fkn answers. Lawd, I can't.

[@TrueCrimeWithJaneDoe]

Chased a psych patient easily twice my weight tonight and she landed on my knee, they’re pretty sure I tore something in my knee but I couldn’t get an MRI in the ER so I have to follow up with orthopedics. So glad to see your video with this pain.

Let me tell you… the VA TRIES you SO hard somedays. I’ve been dealing with them since 2012 and they love to play sneaky little games behind your back and then be like “oh.. well we sent you a letter..so…” I can definitely see why he did what he did. I too have spent 3 months in inpatient VA treatment. Sometimes you just snap and need a little reset 🤷🏼‍♀️🤍

Thank you for telling this story. He deserved so much better. I can't recommend the movie (Breaking) enough. I saw it at sundance a few years ago (I hadn't heard the true story) and was so moved I couldn't wait for it to get a wider release and show it to everybody I know. John Boyega is an incredible actor and does an amazing job- I couldn't even tell it was him at first. If you've ever seen the movie John Q. starring Denzel Washington, those are kind of the vibes.

[@AngelaWalker-uj5uf]

So what the point of having a commander if you don't have to obey the commander I don't get it! That Commander should feel very disrespected by the whole department because his position meant nothing!!!! Damn what kind of pull does ponts have in the department????

He had also killed another black man in a standoff a few months before this. Brian was actually his 2nd fatal standoff shooting. Someone needs to reevaluate and hold him accountable.

[@savagetwin52]

What a sad story. That SWAT man should have been fired. I feel an element of racism here also. No vet deserves an ending that Brian got. The VA doesn't provide follow up services to make sure that the MI be enrolled in appropriate outpatient treatment facilities. There they should be monitored with compliance with meds, provided with treatment to access compliance with treatment plan and also housing and employment opportunities. What a shame the honor these vets get is when they die and get a military burial.

[@germyw]
