😱🤦🏾♀️She begged for her daughter's life. We are failing each other on a basic human level. We must do better.
This ☝️ is why cops lie so good
The cop who did this was on edge
Fired
ya, i dont believe anyone should be fired for this other than the nutcase who fired the bullet. this is s systematic problem and not just a single division or single police force.
Cops are too busy covering each others behinds to have any standards.
I call BS…. Fed Ex and McDonald’s has better screening process than the police evidently
SHAME ON THEM
" okay well that would be none of them ,they all just do their job " how horribly prophetic Sonya Massey's mom truly was
This pig needs to resign
You ignored the signs!
Guy is a psychopath, simple
Multiple warnings were brushed aside. By the way he hit a deer on that high speed chase. He’s lucky it wasn’t a person.
If it was a black Man, I bet you would have gotten the information. A prime example of White privilege
Gtfoh it’s on police video, how do you need more verification??
You think this sheriff hasn't listened to the 911 call from Sonya's mother? You thinking this?
This Sheriff needs to step down. Retire.
Nope you had the warning signs. It falls on you Chief. You guys cover each other being the biggest street gang on the planet. You keep earning the hate everyday
"Well I haven't heard the tape…" Stop it Sheriff smh.
Nationwide police shortage
