Veteran FBI Agent Breaks Down On CNN Over Florida School Shooting: 'I Can't Do It, Wolf' | TIME

I felt the same way. I cried as well. The rest of you, god have mercy on your souls that you never experience anything like this, that you never see a crime scene with a murdered child

[robertripsaw]

This guy is a veteran FBI agent??
What? No wonder they're such a mess. The FBI was told about this shooter well in advance of this. What's wrong with them?

[morganyoung]

this is completely raw and REAL. any person in this country that has even an inkling of sympathy feels EXACTLY how he's feeling. how could anyone say this is fake? can it not be about politics or "fake news" for all of one day? This shit is happening in our country all the time and it is utterly heart wrenching, if you don't feel that way then you are what is wrong with this country. absolutely ridiculous, have a heart, show some empathy, and stop criticizing everyone and everything.

CNN... always looking for the emotional, never looking for the logical.

[Parker-dggc]

The tissue at the end was a good touch, great job CNN for this fictional short film.

[solusemsu]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the students, faculty, and families, of that school.

[kathycarrillo]

People are so emotionally immature that when they see any strong emotion other than immense anger it makes them uncomfortable. They're afraid their balls may shrink if they show sadness. Bless your hearts....

[허리케인-ro]

An unfortunate incident has occurred. I comfort the souls of the victims.

[darrenrowbotham]

So if it's guns, why glorify them in Hollywood movies and violent video games mixed with psychotropic pharmaceuticals that are freely available. You don't want to talk about that . The gun didn't kill anyone the person firing it did "why" is what we should be asking.

[rebekahmcfatridge]

lol lol lol lol omg ....give him the Oscar for best comedy

[defcon]

I would cry too if I were an ex-FBI criminal and I knew the FBI stood down and let 17 people get murdered.

[vtogvblog]

To top it off, a comment of him saying he wanted to be a professional school shooter was submitted to you in the month of September. Good job on the investigating guys...

[cluelesscortex]

These people play off tragic base emotions to apply anything they want to accomplish. This guy in one word
COMPROMISED.

[MaxColudro]

Why is no one talking about the live video games that this kid may have been playing that may have affected his empathy to other human THE MEDIA AND HOW IT COVERS DETAILS PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BECAUSE THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA IS FULL OF SHIT.

[jackr]

We spent billions of dollars fighting terrorism across the globe but we spent little money on mental illness and rehab.

[akashavayu]

Bless him for is honesty and vulnerability...when is enough enough?

[ntbowen]

And the Oscar goes Mudd for "I can't do it, Wolf".

[stWorldSlums]

Just the comments alone on this thread make you realize the lack of EMPATHY is REAL!

[elvoray]

I don't remember anyone on CNN crying like this on the anniversary of the dropping the bomb on Hiroshima. Breaking down, crying, cursing and disgust seem to be at the heart of CNN. Enough is enough, don't you think?

[Covidiocracy]

I've seen better acting in a Will Smith movie! 🤣
