All the cop had to was take his badge off and he wouldn’t have got shot. Another thug off the streets

[Cng]

He harassed, tased his friend and laughed at it. Feel no sympathy for these narcissist.

THIS GBI OFFICER IS A COWARD AND DISGRACE.

[williamtimmons]

That police officer was violating peoole rights and got smoked.. The hood needs to take notes

[shameDJ]

That cop harassed and tazed his friend for no reason, but for the fun of it. This should make them think twice before bothering people. I don’t condone the retaliation, but if a person isn’t doing anything wrong, leave them alone.

[Utriedit]

He was itching to abuse his power and harass people and got what he deserved case closed I consider it a public Justice

The man that killed this cop should be treated the same as when cops kill civilians. He should be placed on paid vacay while we civilians investigate and ultimately determine that this man was justified in his actions, case closed!

[conversationswithme]

I'll bet his parents were just as ignorant.

[reckless]

Oh well 🤷‍♂️, possibility of death comes with the job. Maybe he should have been a farmer instead and his wife and kid would still have a father and husband. I wonder if the widow is looking for a new man? 🤔

[hiiamrick]

I still have not hear a peep. On just what that cop did? No camera footage nothing. People just do not hunt down and kill a cop.

[americanpatriot]

Once again another Goddamn Jogger! We are getting very sick of this shit happening in our country!

[ruthokelley]

When anyone calls another person a ‘piece of trash, ’ I find little value in their opinion. Just look at how easily people are calling each other denigrating names and where it has got us?

[newhope]

Tragic, that it was only one cop. 😪 Let’s hope for thousands more blue alerts.

[greg]

they just gave zero information...rip to the officer.

[Johnnie_Sam]

Will they withhold all body cam and put the suspect on unpaid leave until the investigation is concluded??

[Katwoman]

So sad - what is wrong with people ???

[jamesmartin]

Damien G-Dog Shizzwizzle did NOT shoot this police officer! He was simply jogging through the area and has been falsely accused!

[byronjoedavidda-veed]

Word on the street is that the cop tased him. Why the media and the GBI didn’t mention that?🤔

[tyshemalynnp]

this will happen more along as the behavior of Alot of cops being ignored they too should remember they have families they would like to make it home too be a good cop
